Helpful Score: 5

A wonderful sequel to "Pillars of the Earth" which involves the descendents of Tom and Jack Builder. A huge book, a cast of thousands it seems, yet I skipped very few pages in it. This book again depicts the Catholic Church as not only the only institution in the Middle Ages which dispenses care and comfort, but also as a greedy and villaneous force for its own welfare. It very clearly shows why the Protestant Reformation took hold so rapidly in Europe and England as a reaction to the behavior of the clergy of the Catholic church. Genny
