I’ve always been a big fan of Ken Follett’s works, both his historical novels and his thrillers. They’re not usually the thinnest books, so one needs to set aside time to read one. Spoiler alert: They’re all worth it! 😎
Several of his works have been turned into movies and miniseries (albeit with mixed results). Here’s a list of all films and miniseries based on works by Ken Follett:
