A re-telling of the history of World War I through the perspectives of the members of five different families, from five different countries, from five different walks in life. A magnificent novel that …

PIllars of the Earth
This was one of the most annoying books I've read in several decades. The writing was clunky and cliche-ridden. The characters were (mostly) wooden and unbelievable and the dialogue was an embarrassment …

Boy, I read Pillars of the Earth a long time ago, 1989, when it was first published in hardback. I like Follett's thriller-mysteries, but I recall reading the jacket and thinking that this isn't …

This is one of those books that literally has it all: love, lust, hate, death, birth, starvation, redemption, and cathedrals. While the building of cathedrals is a main theme, don't overlook the fully-realized …

PIllars of the Earth
Great historical novel. A little fat and descriptive at times, but stick with it, because it's worth it.

I loved this book. It centers around the building of a church in the late middle ages. A noble priest goes to great lengths to get it built. The book also introduces one of the most evil and ubiquitious …

Whiteout: A Novel by Ken Follet
I rated this one closer to a 4 than 3 1/2 stars but not by much. It is hard to discuss it without creating many spoilers except it deals with a group of criminals that kind of "trap" a young man plagued …

I picked up The Pillars of the Earth at the library a few weeks ago.  It was featured in the "New Books" section, which is odd because it was published in the late 1980s.  It had one of those …
