set in the same community, 200 years later I d been excited about it ever since I heard it was coming out this fall Maybe too excited, because it just didn t live up to my expectations.The first half of the book seemed a sort of ho hum retread of Pillars In place of Jack Builder, we have his look alike great great great many times over grandson, Merthin Instead of Aliena, we get Caris who I wanted

the deaths of an unthinkable percentage of the population, it is oneexample of why Historical Fiction is the Genre of the Genres when done right And who can write better than Ken Follett who owns the crown in this field In my opinion, what differentiates his writing is the focus he places on the characters He doesn t perform a History lecture, but builds his protagonists around the depicted era with compassion, respect and immense skill His descriptive passages and the way he composes the dialogues throughout the novel should be the example for any writer who d like to make a foray to the tormented Historical Fiction ge...Set two centuries after Pillars of the Earth, the people of Kingsbridge are at it again The cathedral built in Pillars is in disrepair after part of the roof caved

stars to Ken Follett s World Without End One of my favorite books of all time I was just mesmerized by the characters and everything they went thru It is a MUST read.It s a long read, and it takes place hundreds of years ago, but if you can handle the primitive nature of the timeline, the various plots and subplots will astound you Amazing.I kept getting angry at all the tragedy thrown at the two main characters How could they suffer so much And for years I ll stop there as I don t wa 5 stars to Ken Follett s World Without End One of my favorite books of all time I was just mesmerized by

should be on my Sucked shelf It s a tale of the Middle Ages, the gross injustices of the time, and it truly amounts to a thousand page Medieval soap opera It hasn t got much to do with it s predecessorThe Pillars of the Earth , except that it s in the same location 200 years later, with characters that are descendants of the Pillars characters There s none of the complex building and architectural aspects found in Pillars, the graphic sex and violence...Follett finally completed the sequel to his evergreen historical novel, The Pillars of the Earth, and although I was compelled by the story enough to read all 1024 pages in a week, I was saddened at how poorly the book compares with its predecessor.It is interesting to consider the nearly 20 years between the first book and this sequel Many things have changed in our culture since then, leading Follett to inject evenegregious anachronisms into this book than the first For example, the ch Follett finally completed the sequel to his evergreen his...World Without End is written in the third person but isn t choppy like some third person books are I loved that we get to see the characters grow up and mature They all
