Pillars of the Earth
a super read.... could not put it down!! It was even more meaningful to me as I was in England traveling at the time and gazing at all the cathedrals whose construction was described in this book. Lots of engineering problems described in it, but in a very readable way. Again, this historical fictions thriller was a great read... I would recommend it to anyone.. by Sharon

Pillars of the Earth
Haven't fully read the book yet - my review is more about the actual book I purchased.....font is so tiny you need a magnifying glass to read! Would spend the extra money on getting a book with larger text so that you can ensure a happy reading experience.....which to date the tiny text is not delivering....and this coming from a person with 20/20 vision! by blackjellybeanie

Loved It!
This is quite a long book, about, um...building a church! Monks, bishops, Earls, Kings, Love, Betrayal, Suspense, Murder, Family & architecture set in the 1300's! NOT MY USUAL READ, but absolutely loved it and could not put it down! It also has a sequel (set a few hundred yrs later) "A world with no End" same story line, with addition of nuns, more architecture and the European plague! I was absorbed by this within the 1st few pages. And highly recommened for a good read. Again.. not my usual fictional read, not into the 1300's story line, architecture (building) or monks either, but I will say it again and again... LOVED this epic tale! Hope you do too! by Fanoula
