Love the idea of this book, and the great story of the people who built the monumental cathedral of England. Follett painted a great historical picture, and brought to life the origins not only of the cathedral, but the entire society surrounding the great achievement of the past. We still appreci...
4,5 stars Ken Follett é um dos grandes autores da actualidade. Muitos (incluindo eu própria) começámos por reconhecer a mestria do autor nos policiais e nos thrillers que ele constrói, mas Follett é um autor com várias facetas e por isso mesmo, durante anos desejou entregar às tramas históricas.

What attracted me to this book was primarily because everyone was raving about it and the title was quite intriguing.

Well, I finally finished the audiobook version of The Pillars of the Earth, and it is definitely epic in scope. This makes it easy to do a decent job of characterization (plenty of pages and time to develop the characters), but also makes it difficult to keep that characterization consistent. In t...
