Customer Rating:
Summary: Keep the sex scenes out of good historical fiction
Comment: Why would such an excellent writer feel compelled to write soft-porn sex scenes in otherwise terrific historical fiction? It just ruined the whole book for me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: EPIC ENTERTAINMENT!
Comment: There is nothing I like more then finding a book I can really sink my teeth into. I love it when a book is so good I find myself thinking about it when I'm not reading it. I love when a book is an easy read not because the content is frivalous, but the writing is fluid and well paced. I love books that have epic story lines and diverse characters. I love historical fiction that is well researched but not "preachy". As a relatively slow reader, I love being able to read 100+ pages in one go without batting an eye. I love this book because it provides all these things.
If you're looking for a book with emotional depth and contemplative prose, move along.
If you're looking to invest yourself in a long and thrilling tale, look no further.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Suggested With: An oversized chair and a tankard of ale. ;)

Summary: Great sequel, unlike any other
Comment: Even though the characters are different, set later in time, you're able to get right back in the story like its prequel. I was initially disappointed that the story didn't pick up where it left off, but once I got into it, it was so much better! Again, the architectural details and Follett's ability to really "put you in the story" is the best part.

Summary: Wonderful stand-alone sequel!
Comment: An amazingly real biography of a time so far away! This story will envelop you to the very end! Although it ties in with Pillars of the Earth, it functions brilliantly as a novel in its own right. Own it, Read it, LOVE IT!
