Book Reviews of The Pillars of the Earth
Book Review: Dismayed
Summary: 3 Stars
I was somewhat dismayed upon reading this book. I had heard so much about it that I couldn't wait to buy it. The author was on the Oprah show. Oprah and the audience led one to believe it was the best book ever written. Maybe it is just me, but it just wasn't my "cup of tea".
The story is o.k. but not even close to the hype that came out about it. I won't even bother buying the sequel, "World Without End". It may be my fault for thinking it was so great from listening to the Oprah show. I have bought other books she has recommended and have been disappointed. So maybe I should have known better.
Summary of The Pillars of the Earth
A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett's historical masterpiece.Abridged edition read by John Lee
