- Loved it!
This book sustained my interest from start to finish and considering how long it is, that's an achievement. It's even better than the 'Pillars of the Earth'. I just wish there was a third in the series.

Rating:

- Pathetic
It's just a TV soap opera transported back to the Middle Ages and no account taken for different language, life style, beliefs. I found the main characters thoroughly boring as people, and even the working practices, such a joy in "Pillars of the Earth", were hardly developed or badly done. Ken Follet has lost at least one reader.

- Another Follett masterpiece
Having read my copy of "Pillars of The Earth" at least 4 times, I just had to get the follow-up.
Stainding over 1000 pages, its not a tome to pick on a whim, but its another superb travel through historical England. (Don't panick if you still haven't experienced the magnificent "Pillars", as the characters are a few generations on).
Any fans of historical fiction will love this tale of love, deceit and heart-ache. Throw in some meaty action, add some pestilence and suffering, and you're ... Read More
