I liked it but it got boring after a while.
It’s brilliant. The ABC TV series was brilliant too. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/pillars-of-the-earth/
@Helen I didn’t know it was a TV series!!! Wow!!!
@Amy Yes, it was on the ABC a few years ago. Rufus Sewel was the lead character – gorgeous man.
And a young Eddie Redmare.
It was on Netflix for a while then got taken off.
@Helen thank you!
It’s a hefty book, but well worth the time. Character development is stellar.
I loved it!

I loved this book historical fiction is my all time fav. seriously didnt want to put it down it was so interesting

Loved it, now a trilogy, working on the third one.
I did and the information about the architecture was fascinating.
Read it and have the sequel that I’ve not yet brought myself to read as I know it’s just as long and engrossing as the first. Just can’t find the commitment. lol
I loved this book. Would anybody recommend reading the sequel?
Following, I bought all books at a thrift store and have not read them yet…wondering if those big books are all worth it.
@Cindi Yes…you will love the sequel.
That book was in tatters when I finished it. Dragged it everywhere, read it at red lights, couldn’t put it down.
This book is amazing

I just finished reading “Fly Away” by Kristin Hannah. That was wonderful!

Just discovered author, Edwidge Danticat. Her fiction, “Claire of the Sea Light”, and non-fiction, “Create Dangerously” are mind-blowing.
Loved Pillars!

This is one of my favorite books of all time. Be sure to read the other 2 books in this trilogy.
I have read all 3 and plan on reading them again. Movies are great too
Great book!!!!
Read the entire trilogy-beyond great!
Loved! Read the series. Also, he wrote a trilogy but I can only remember one of the 3 titles, Fall of Giants. Excellent series. Enjoy!
World Without End
Great book worth reading every page.
I read it several years ago. My husband still teases me about how I wanted to stop reading it..but couldn’t! Very good book.
I tried a couple of times to read this, but I just couldn’t get into it. I have heard so many people praise it and wanted to read it but it didn’t grab me. Maybe I will try again some day.
One of the best books I have read
@Natalia I agree
Brilliant book! And there’s more after that, kind of a series. Enjoy!!
I love his books.
My husband loved this. I hope can get to reading it too.

Read the series two times.
this one of my favorite books ever. Continue with the sequel “World without end” to finish the story. awesome.
Absolutely love it.
Fabulous book! That whole trilogy is amazing.
Excellent book.
My FAVORITE trilogy!!!!!
It’s a great book! I lived in England for four years (my husband was in the Air Force) and got to visit many of the sites in the book.
Read it years ago. Excellent read. Make sure you read all of them!
Have read read both first and second
I read it. It was a great book.
Wonderful book
One of my favorite books of all time. Mr Follett waited 10 years to write / publish ” World Without End. ” Please excuse me if my timeline is incorrect on the publishing of the two books, but both are phenomenal!!!
I love Ken Follet. I have a few of his books. Including this trilogy. He, for me is one of the best writers on history while still being fiction.
So good, hard to put down!
