I’ve always been a big fan of the works of Ken Follett, both his historical novels and his thrillers. They’re not the thinnest books usually, so one really needs to set some time aside 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 movies and miniseries based on works by Ken Follett:
