Pillars of Earth by Ken Follett

The Pillars of Earth by Ken Follett

Pillars of Earth is a massive, sweeping work (896 pages). Despite its length, Follett manages to keep the reader captivated with an interesting cast of characters and a quickly paced story. Pillars of Earth tells the story of the construction of Kingsbridge Cathedral in the Middle Ages and the stories of those that worked on the Cathedral. The plot, while sometimes predictable, does have many twists and turns that will surprise most readers. At the end, you are left wanting to know more of what happens to the characters. Overall an excellent read, but be prepared for a massive work.
