A Great Alternative to "Reading Pillars of the Earth" Again

I liked the book. And I'd give it a full five stars and gush more about it if it didn't seem almost as if a template was lifted from "Pillars of the Earth" and dropped over Kingsbridge two hundred years later. Still, I enjoyed it enough to read it in just a few days.

My chief complaint--as others have noted--is that he sometimes uses modern day slang when accepted English would have done just as well and been much less jarring. It stunned me that such an experienced writer would do this. Stunned me even more that it would get past a good editor.

My other criticism is that he wrapped things up very abruptly. Almost as if mom had shouted into his room, "Ken, dinner in fifteen minutes--you need to finish what you're doing."

If nothing else, I enjoyed it more than I would have enjoyed picking up "Pillars of the Earth" and reading it a fourth time.

All criticisms aside, it's a good book and I'm glad I read it.

Excellent... A must Read....

Only if I could write a review that would do justice to Ken Follett's World without end... It is another historical classic just like Pillars of the Earth. Very enjoyable!!!

Follett delivers again

A great sequel to "Pillars." Follett creates such endearing characters and vivid settings-he successfully transforms the reader to another time.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Phenomenal book.

Phenomenal book. My husband and I read this book and Pillars of the Earth, respectively, then switched. We loved both!
