Pillars of the Earth Won’t Let You Down
Pillars of the Earth is one of those rare jewels an author creates. If you know Ken Follet’s work, you know Pillars is not in his normal genre. It is a masterful work that takes the reader through territories with characters and situations you would never have expected. It all flows so natural you forget you’re reading and simply enjoy experiencing.
Ever serious reader needs to read Pillars of the Earth, and if you a novice reader, this book will make you a serious one.Read full review

Pillars of the Earth. I loved the hardcover because it was easier for me to read. The book is very long so the hard cover for me would last.
This book is my favorite ever. I keep buying them as gifts for others The condition of the book was excellent, but if it was just good I would be happy. Great gifts. If you like history, although its not a history book, it goes back to the knights and Masons. I hated when I was done reading it. I wanted more. Just a hint about the second book written a few years later... I totally didn't connect with anything, big disappointment.Read full review

Compelling epic
If you love epics, this is a compelling story with wonderful characters and well researched information on the time period. I suggest first reading the prequel which just came out at the end of last year.Read full review

Great Ken Follett trilogy beginning with Pillars of the Earth.
Ken Follett's trilogy including Pillars of the Earth, World Without End; and A Column of Fire are terrific. Pillars of the Earth I bought used in Hardcover. I read it originally in paperback, purchased several copies for friends. It is a world best seller. Also made Oprah's book recommended list. Awesome historical fiction. World Without End is an amazing read during the time of the Plague. I am only 200 pages into the final A Column of Fire and enjoying that read also. Will likely read them again.Read full review

Awesome Author of the Ages
Ken Follett writes historical fiction books that draw you into the dark ages. He colors the characters and the landscape so beautifully that I can’t put any of his books down. I have 3 more of his novels just waiting to be read. Read full review

Storytelling at its best
Fantastic novel, so glad I finally read it. Follett has a way of describing life and work in centuries past with fascinating detail and in such a way that makes you want more. It's one of those novels that lives with you awhile after you've finished it. I'll definitely be purchasing the other two novels in this trilogy.Read full review

Highly Recommended!
Ken Follett is a master storyteller, and this epic story set in the fictional town of Kingsbridge in the 15th Century will draw readers into a community of personalities that represent the good as well as the purely evil. Once you have finished it you will want to obtain the next two books in the trilogy.Read full review

Book in "like new" condition.
Book was described as "used" but it is in excellent condition. I purchased this for my grandson's 16th birthday as he wanted to start reading the series but we were missing the first in the series. This is one of my favorite books & I know he will love it too.Read full review

Pillars Under My Pillow
Great historical fiction by Ken Follett, The Pillars of the Earth makes you feel transported to that early-England era. Absorbing enough to keep you awake into the early hours and large enough maintain the rage for a couple of weeks. Line up the two sequels World without End and Column of Fire for a season of Follett entertainment.Read full review

A Great Historically based Tale on the Common People of England
Follett is a great storyteller and historically based fiction is what he delivers in this masterful tale. He is aware of the vital role played by the common people in building up England and forcing the monarchy to respect them and their laws.Read full review
