Dull, lifeless, uni-dimensional characters, appropriately accompanied by a simplistic, tedious plot. Despite finishing the book, I developed little interest at any point in what happened to the principal characters. A real waste of time.
Loved this book. It made me really admire what people in that era had to endure and made me realize there have been great people on the earth in every age. The history was facinating. I hated the bad guys in the story but was heartened by the good guys.
I would dearly love to read this book but unfortunately it is not available to Kindle owners in Australia for copyright reasons. I sincerely hope Amazon will look into this issue as there are so many titles that are unavailable to me. It is a shame I didn't know about the copyright issues before I bought my Kindle. I may not have been so eager.
I really enjoyed this book and its characters. It kept me interested the entire way. This is one of those 'must reads' for everyone.
Follett's, The Pillars of the Earth , regardless of many of the educated elites comments; is one of the best historical fictional reviews I have read, well researched and written. Many writers create a history book with little interest. I enjoy reading all of Follett's books, though some of his earlier books were not written as well as the later ones. Follett himself admitted this.
