Book Review of World Without End (Pillars of the Earth, Bk 2)

World Without End (Pillars of the Earth, Bk 2)
Gimli avatar reviewed Equally as good as Pillars on + 14 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


This novel closely mimics its predecessor Pillars of the Earth. Set some 200 years later, it picks up life in the town of Kingsbridge. The characters are well developed and you quickly become pulled into their lives. This book has the same compelling character types of the first book. The couple whose love seems destined yet are again and again heartbreakingly separated, the villans who seem to run into their share of misfortune as well, yet never seem to be defeated. All of their struggles seem so unsurmountable yet somehow they persevere. Their pain is gut wrenching and their happiness profound. If you loved Pillars- World Without End will be equally lovable.
