Pillars of the earth by Mark D. Moeller 5 Stars
November 14, 2009
First off, for a used book, it was in excellent condition. The author had me captured within the first couple of pages. The way he builds a story around each character is amazing. There is detail where you get a first hand experience how it would have felt living during those times

AMAZING!! by Brendan Zachar 5 Stars
November 06, 2009
Could not put this wonderful piece of literature down!!
Follet did a wonderful job of creating a story that never lets-up and continually throws the reader a curve-ball.
Packed full of emotions and wonderful character development I would highly recommend this book!

Enjoyed - by Rocky Reynebeau (Golden, Colorado USA) 5 Stars
November 02, 2009
I am not a big novel kind-of-guy. I picked this book up principally to add color to a subject that I was reading about at the time - the history of the middle ages and the history of the Catholic church. I have to say that I enjoyed the book immensely because it seemed consitant with how it was in the 15th century. Ken Follett tells a nice story with a lot of historical accuracy... He multi layered the fictional characters within the framework of historical facts. While I don't see this book at a pure historical novel it has that feel to it.
This was my first Follett novel. And, while I am not a historian, the storyline bumped up nicely with how people lived their lives in a world of an all powerful church and self serving political structures. Nice book and enjoyed it very much.

LOVE IT by brittany ellis 5 Stars
November 02, 2009
I read this book a few months ago and also the sequel. It is hands down one of THE BEST BOOKS i have ever read! It takes in you from page one and stays with you way after you finish the book. the characters are rich and come to life, makes you feel like you are right there with them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to take a trip back in time and get lost.
