Pillars of the Earth

its quiet nice novel but i often get time to read these completely just go through and get the central idea.

I read this book a few times and enjoyed it very much, I tried to read some of his other work and just couldn't get in to it. There was no particular part that I enjoyed more than others because it was so well written, the character's were very realistic, and I could imagine that is how they would behave in that time period, all except the lady that the builder finally married, as that would have been a real exception to the rule in those days but she was written so that it did sound feasible. I truly will look forward to his new book.

I have never read it. But after reading the posts here, I'll look it up on Amazon. It sounds just like the the sort of book that I like - a good historical novel. Thanks for bringing it to my attention:)

I also love Pillars of the Earth. It is my favorite by Ken Follett, but he has written many others I like also. What I enjoy about him as an author is that none of his books are even remotely similar. Jackdaws is one of my other favorites. My favorite part of pillars is the beggining. Its just such as masterful introduction to a story!

AHHHH, "the boys always came early to the hangings" or something like that, right? Yes, I truly enjoy this book. I did not know about a sequel. Thanks for the update. I think Pillars of the Earth is a book which one can read at different times in thier lives and relate to different characters, or different episodes in the book. I have read it several times, and each time I love it more. I think, also because it expands such a long history and there are so many characters, it is not like re-reading a book because there are parts that you have forgotten about, or pages that become important when previously they weren't. My 2nd favorite book, aside from the bible.
