I bought the book in the airport. Usually I feel that I am being overcharged for books bought in the airport. I feel World without End was worth every penny! I could not put this book down. I really enjoyed the read and look forward to reading Pillars of the Earth.

"Pillars of the Earth" is one of my favorite books of all time. This sequel might rank as one of my least. I am halfway through and have rolled my eyes countless times. I have thought of abandoning it, but I spent good money on this dud so by gum I'm going to read it. That's how bad it is. The speaking style and words used by the characters remind me of 21st century mall-rats. Follett seems to think readers are clamoring for a sex scene every five pages or so...and not tasteful sex scenes either. I feel like he wrote this for teenagers whose interest will wane without sex, sex, sex. This book is just plain DUMB.
