Summary: A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT
Comment: I read "Pillars of the Earth" during the Summer 1991; its plot and characters bled into my life that summer. I carried them around no matter where I went. I so LOVED this novel. When "World Without End" came out, I was delighted, but decided to wait for the paperback (reading a hardbound book that size in bed is challenging). Anyway, as I nestled into bed during the Christmas holidays, I began the novel with high expectations.
Alas, what a disappointment. The writing is humdrum and poor. The author had to keep explaining the characters' motives and the responses to them. Does he consider his readers to be totally stupid? His sentence structure was so very boring. The plot was like a TV miniseries: perhaps enticing, but lacking depth. Godwyn became more shallow as he became more evil. Ralph was a cardboard, one-dimensional character.
I could go on and on about my complaints. Suffice it to say: Shame on this author. I think that Follett was "stuffing the novel" to make his deadline and collect his money. He left this reader utterly unimpressed.

Summary: great book, didnt want it to end
Comment: an excellent read. Didn't want it to end and had trouble putting it down. I would definitely recommend reading the Pillars of the Earth first.

Summary: world without end/book
Comment: This is the sequal to Pillars of the Earth. I was looking forward to reading this book.
Exciting, interesting and it provided many hours of reading. Learning about history and the making is fun and a good way to pass time.
Ken Follett keeps you reading unitl you find you are at the end of the book and still wanting to learn more.

Summary: World Without End
Comment: Best Book I have ever read, or the best 2 books I ever read. Follett is an exceptional writer and interpretor of history. We have read almost all of his books. This is our first read on a Kindle. 5's all around.

Summary: Book without end
Comment: This book was long and detailed version of life in the medieval times but some of the language was not correct for the time, nor was the thinking. I think Ken Follett's 21st century personality got in the way of the history. But it was fun to read another one of his books.
