Think about the main characters and what place faith held in their lives. In continuation of the above question, if you had to identify one of the main characters' stories as one that would make a good "stand-alone" novel, which would it be? Why do you think his/her story would make an enjoyable book on its own?Ĩ. Do you enjoy reading epic novels such as this one? What makes them so appealing to readers, in your opinion?ħ. When you first read about Billy Williams in chapter one, did you anticipate how his life would unfurl-for example, that he would end up in running for Parliament? What about other characters: Could you guess what some of them would end up doing or being at the book's end?Ħ.
What did you think of Ken Follett's depiction of them? Do you like seeing notable people such as these come alive in fiction, or do you prefer reading about them in a strictly historical context?ĥ. Talk about the historical figures that appear throughout Fall of Giants, such as Woodrow Wilson, King George V, Vladimir Lenin, and others. Is it significant that Fall of Giants begins with the stories of Billy and Ethel Williams? Would the novel have been different if other characters' stories opened the book, such as those of Grigori and Lev Peshkov, or Gus Dewar?Ĥ.
Is there a custom or practice from the book's early twentieth-century time period that you wish existed in our modern day? What would it be, and why do you think it should have a place in today's world?ģ. Before reading Fall of Giants, what did you know about World War I? Did you learn anything new upon finishing the novel?Ģ.
