Helpful Score: 1

The sequel to "The Pillars of the Earth", this book takes place 200 years after the original book and traces the lives of the descendants. Well written in a simple, straight-forward style, the book is very readable and extremely engrossing. Especially valuable in understanding the historical context, Ken Follett has done his homework and paints a masterful portrait of life in the 1300s with the plague, with the political and ecclesiastical power struggles and abuses. I can guarantee you won't regret picking this one up.
