"Yeah, to read this book it takes commitment but one that you will not regret. I was hesitant to start it only because it was so long and it was not a normal genre that I would choose. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop."

"Liked the book, though I had a difficult time getting into it. It felt like a gothic romance for men. Perseverence brought me around and I enjoyed the book. I liked the weaving of history and the characters created."

"Pillars of the earth is one of the best "epics" i've read. Follet's attention to the details of the times shows dedicated research and his ability to tell a story with such compassion makes the book an exceptional read."
