Reviews

"""this is one of the best books I've ever read on the career and methods of a popular novelist""--Mystery Scene; ""Ramet provides us with another way to inspect the value of Follett's body of work and to understand the man, but also gives us a view of how books are written and how the real world shapes a writer and his fiction in general. Ramet succeeds in crafting a biography of Follett in which the writing process is examined as well via the life of a literary success story""--Popular Culture Review."


this is one of the best books I ve ever read on the career and methods of a popular novelist <i>Mystery Scene</i>.
