A spellbinding epic set in twelfth-century England, The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect-a man divided in his soul...of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame...and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I read it because it was assigned to an English class at my school. The kids loved it, so I had to see what was the fuss. Now I'm going to have my students read it this year.

I've read a lot of Follett, and this is his best by far - I'd always passed this over because it was written almost 20 years ago, but my mother got it for me for Christmas; no doubt because of the renewed surge by Oprah's club. I read until my eyes got blury! Worst thing was that it came to an end - this is a book I could have read for another 900 pages of story.
I enjoyed this book enormously and the value was very good - although I have since found that the book can be had at an even better price on this site if it is not the Oprah edition.
Happy Reading!

I give this book a 5 star rating across the board. It is historic, exciting, informative, and entertaining. I can't put it down. I have already received the sequel as a gift.
