The Pillars of the Earth

I started reading this novel two days ago, and I already think it's great

I bought it because I heard such good comments about it and I was curious. I've only read 60 pages so far.

Has anybody else read it? I'd like to hear your opinions about this novel or others by Ken Follett

It's so huge! It's waiting for me and throwing angry glances from the bookshelf :lol:

! I bought it hundreds years ago and still on the page number 35! I wonder if I could finish it up to the end? :roll:

good luck, Dixie!

Thank you, Tora! At first I didn't feel like starting it either, it's so huge like you said... 1076 pages... but the moment I started it I knew I wouldn't regret it. It's great so far!

aha! It must be very interesting - England in the 12th century, but the book is so hard to carry!!! Uf! what a shame! :oops:

you'll encourage me to read it...

Yes but I'm sure it won't disappoint you

Go, Tora, go!!!

You really shouldn't write about all the new books you read, cos I'm starting to feel a little jealous, ya know ;p I am in the process of getting the Historian now so don't you talk about any other new stuff in front of me! ;p

BTW Mal, I read yesterday that Sony Pictures bought the rights of The Historian to make a movie! So you better get going!!

Oh man, I hope I will become familiar with the book before the movie comes out. I'm gonna get it soon but still not sure whether in polish or try the english version. lol

Go on with the Pillars of the Earth Dixie!
I read it last summer (the 1076 pages

) and it was a good experience!!! There are very slowy parts in the beginning and in the middle. The rest of the book is very exciting and goes faster! It´s curios seeing a world where it could take a hole life building a Cathedral (and also the life of your children), where in War you could lose or gain a title depending on which king you support and if that king wins the battle,...

Well, tell me if you like or not the book. I am not going to tell you more... hahaha
