Book Review of The Pillars of the Earth

The Pillars of the Earth

Helpful Score: 2


Loved this book! It's deliciously long and held my interest throughout. I learned so much about architecture and building in medieval times! The characters are engaging and believable for the most part - my only criticism is that the main "evil" character is just such pure evil that he becomes almost a caricature of himself. Definitely worth the investment in time to read this book - I hated to finish it.
