The Pillars of the Earth

This book is long, but it moves along very quickly. I got caught up in the story at the very beginning and had a hard time putting it down. The story is rich with English history, and the characters become your friends and family for a time. I found myself wondering what was going on in their world, even after I finished reading it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because the sex "scenes" were way too detailed for my taste. I mostly skipped over the "juicy" parts. Even so, I look forward to reading the sequel - World Without End.
