Helpful Score: 1

This was definitely a new direction for Ken Follett. He writes about the leader of a 25-year old commune at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. I'm more used to him writing international novels with some kind of political intrigue going on. But it seems that with some of his newer books he is branching out. I have read the first 2 books in his historical trilogy that begins with Pillars of the Earth, so it is evident that he can write and outstanding novel on subjects other than international spies and political intrigue. Communes are not interesting for me, but it was a good book. That's the only reason I didn't rate it higher. I'm just not interested in a commune leader as a base of a book. However, if you like Ken Follett, it is worth the read. I don't like to pass up any of his books because you never know what you may find in between the two covers!
