Pillars of the Earth has been replaced by World Without End. I did not want to READ ANY BOOK, I wanted to read Pillars of the Earth. But I give Worlds Without End an 8.5.Mike

Ken Follet is such a good writer, his illustrations of grief and death are so overwhelming that at times tears are at the brink of one's eyes. Such was Caris's mothers death part.Write Review:
