I just finished reading this book, The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follette. I really enjoyed it. It's a 1000 page book and It was very detailed so I was really able to really imagine what the towns and castles looked like. It was a story about many people. Their lives..how the life of one affected the life of another. There was so many characters...
The story starts out with a family and then the family comes across the monastary...then the story is all about the monastary...then back to the family...then to another character...
It always takes me a few chapters to "get into a book". When I started reading Pillars - I thought it was odd the way the story jumped..but a little into it I realized it had a rhythm. And--it was important to show the relationships(and there were so many..)
William read this book before me. While I read this, he was reading the next book(World Without End). He said he was dreaming Kingsbridge in his sleep.
I am planning to read the 2nd book also. I probably would have started right away but he was still reading it. So I started a new book(I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb)
