Even My Students loved it

daphne22 from Rhode Island, Aug 27, 2008

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.

Best ever.

uconnkate from Wesley Chapel, FL, Feb 7, 2008

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.

Pillars of the Earth

venar from Pittsburgh, PA, Feb 2, 2008

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!

PIllars of the Earth

kathy505 from Wall Township, New Jersey, Jan 28, 2008

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.
