Helpful Score: 3

World Without End is the sequel to Pillars of the Earth. Ken Follett, once again, grabs our attention in this 1025 page book. The black plague, the war between France and England serve as backgrounds to this book. The characters are the progeny of the characters in Pillars of the Earth. There is a rich tapestry of characters who give us the class structure and social mores of the time. Ken Follett's attention to historical details and to rich characterization rivets the reader's attention. One can learn almost as much as through reading a historical text with the added pleasure of the characters and plots.
