Ken Follett: World Without End

[businessbooks]

Just finished reading it, and was VERY surprised that I enjoyed it MORE than the original.

If you like these sort of books I HIGHLY recommend "Sarum" by Edward Rutherfurd.

I have read Pillars of the Earth and enjoyed it very much,I have not gotten around to World Without End.It's a sequel to the story ? and are any of the characters from POTE in WWE?

As for Rutherford ,I started Ireland last year and it was engaging in the begining but after it got boring.It's the only book I have never finished.

None of the "same" characters, but they are mentioned. For example one of the main characters in WWE is the grand-son (or great grand-son) of Jack Builder

I just checked at amazon; both books are set in the same town, two hundred years apart. Both sound like good reads, and I'm glad to see that my local library has a copy of Pillars of the Earth. I feel a sudden urge to pay them a visit this afternoon:whistling:

I wanted to reread the pillars ere I started with it, but Pillars won... and got me stuck somewhere in the middle... so the rest of pillars and WWE is on the theoretical reading plan for 2009, hope I make it this year, but my reading future is a dark labyrinth built out of pillars of books and somewhere on the bottom of one of them is Pillars...
