I am very confused about my feeling for this book. I really enjoyed the story but there are so many bad things about this book. First, from page 700 til the end I really skim throu the book because I couldn't read one more thing about trancept and buttress and all the repeatious things about construction work. But way before that I did pass over cockfight and dogfight and bearbaiting etc.
I laughted a some of the language. I don't think the term BAMBOUZELED was used in the 1200th. Kids ... Read More

I read The Pillars of the Earth years ago and loved it. So imagine my surprise when World Without End was released. I wanted to buy both together from Amazon.ca but unfortunately, I will not. I refuse, absolutely refuse to buy any novel that has "Oprah's Book Club" on it. It is insipid and ridiculous to have someone else's name who has zero to do with the actual writing, editing, or reviewing of books! She is a talk show host and nothing more. I think it is unfair to foist this person on the paying ... Read More

This book was enjoyable to read and actually kept my interest throughout the approximately 900 pages. It is very delightful, however I haven't really thought more from the book since I finished it. It's one of those novels that one enjoys whilst reading it, but afterwards its put at the back shelf.

When a novel is as thick as "Pillars of the Earth", I am usually skeptical whether it will keep me interested throughout. And, the start was slow, but only for a couple of pages. And then, it really started. I had a tough time putting the book down before I reached the ending. The depiction of medieval times was so vivid that I could picture the villages, the buildings and the people quite clearly in my mind, almost as if I were watching a movie instead of reading a novel. The storyline is very good and ... Read More
