it was amazing
bookshelves: library

This was incredible. After reading this for weeks, I'll need a bit to sort out my thoughts on this one. Review to come.

Also, how great is the feeling when you're the first person to check out a brand new replacement copy via the library?

Michael One of my favorites. I read it many years ago -- maybe it's time for a re-read...

I’m so glad to hear that Michael. I’m not far in, but really enjoying it so far.

Luigi I watched the movie/video which was also very good. Even more so after visiting the Dom in Cologne and getting some appreciation for what must have been involved.

Daniel Balici Amazing choice Chelsea. Truth be told, it took me over six months to finish this monster but it was totally worth it. The follow-up novel is equally awesome. Still have to read the third installment.

Thanks Daniel! I've been reading this one for quite awhile too, but I'm adoring it. I feel like it has to be absorbed slowly, and I've been taking a section of time each evening to "read an episode".


Melanie I need to pull this off the shelf !

Definitely!


Jonetta I loved this, too, Chelsea! I led a face-to-face book club years ago and it was selected to read over two months. I wasn’t happy about it but will be forever grateful to them because I thought the book extraordinary. And, I’d read Follett’s mystery books and didn’t think he could pull this off. Silly me.


Jamie Loved this first installment as well, but get ready, the 2nd book in the series is even better! At least it was for me...


Susanne So glad you loved this one Chels! Such a fabulous story!

Thank you ladies! I cannot believe I put this off for so long.

Ah I'm so excited to hear that! I've bought the second book already, so I'll have to fit it in ASAP.

Terence M - [Quot libros, quam breve tempus!] "Pillars of the Earth" is a wonderful book and is my second favourite novel ever! First favourite is James Clavell's "Shogun".
