Pillars of the Earth and World Without End - Book Club

*Kate* · 04-30-2009, 12:51 PM

I just finished reading the latter of the two. I read Pillars last year. I loved them both!! I tried to look through the rest of Ken Follet's work to see if I could find something similar to read next and was saddened to find that he didn't write any other books like them.

Anyway, if you have time for big books, I recommend both.

Pillars of the Earth was the most amazing book I ever read!

I can't seem to get into World Without End

I keep reading a few pages here and there, it's just too easy to put down right now

Did it take you a bit to get into the other one?

Thats what Pillars of the Earth is about. It really got me hooked and it changes what character it follows every couple of chapters.

It's really good!

my favorite books!!!! I read them last year when I was pregnant with the girls, and I couldn't put them down.

Surprisingly, even after I was told by my grandmother that she thought I wouldn't like the religious content because I am Atheist, I loved both books. I read them while my husband was deployed. Wonderful reads.
