Book Description:
Ken Follett had long been a staple of the bestseller lists for his novels of intrigue and espionage. Then came The Pillars of the Earth, a grand novel of epic storytelling that readers and critics quickly hailed as his crowning achievement. Now, The Pillars of the Earth is available for the first time to a new audience of readers, in this attractive new trade paperback edition.
In 12th-century England, the building of a mighty Gothic cathedral signals the dawn of a new age. This majestic creation will bond clergy and kings, knights and peasants together in a story of toil, faith, ambition and rivalry. A sweeping tale of the turbulent middle ages, The Pillars of the Earth is a masterpiece from one of the world's most popular authors.
"A novel of majesty and power...Will hold you, fascinate you, surround you." --Chicago Sun-Times
"A towering tale...There's murder, arson, treachery, torture, love, and lust...A good time can be had by all." --New York Daily News
"Touches all human emotions...truly a novel to get lost in." --Cosmopolitan

- Have patience, it's worth it
I received this book as a gift, and I was not terribly impressed with it at first. With some encouragement from the gift-giver, I continued on. The story was lovely, and it was worth the almost 1,000 pages of effort. It is an informed and well-written story with some very interesting characters. There are some great morality points, too. You have your standard bibilical allusion winding through the novel. Follet was careful, though, to make it subtle, and I appreciated that. It would ... Read More
Rating:
- A glorified soap opera.
I'll admit that the story is captivating at the start. But after a few hundred pages, I couldn't help myself from rolling my eyes as the story line was so contrived. Fun read and even entertaining, but definitely not a book of ANY literal value... it was what I call a mindless-guilty-pleasure.
To top it off I realized that around page 500, the author was clueless as to how to end it.
So to do as Follett writes (that is to repeat myself in a different context): 1) the ... Read More
Rating: - Good historical fiction
I was not excited at all to read this 970 page tome, but a friend loaned it to me and I have to return it in a couple of weeks.
This is not a fast read for me (too many twists and turns), but it is a great book. The characters are interesting and compelling and the building process is fascinating.
I will say that the writing style took some getting used to, but by page 100, I was good to go.
It's a great book.

- Cheap sensationalism.
Do not read this if you enjoy good writing. This "novel" is a piece of cheap sensationalism.
