Pillars of the Earth

I FINALLY finished Pillars of the Earth Monday night.

And it was AMAZING. 

So great. 

I know that everyone who has read it says that about it.

But it really is that good.

I cant wait to read the Sequel World Without End and his new book Falling Giants (Or Rather Fall of Giants...)

And I now can not turn away from my TV since I ordered the Pillars of the Earth Mini Series. It is different from the book in so many ways, but still, so good. 

I, like anyone (I'm sure) who has read the book, just love Jack. 

But I really loved all the characters.

Well everyone except Alfred, Waleran and the Hamlieghs.

But you get my point.

But you know what I really, really loved about this book.

I loved that it was so realistic.

I mean I love books.

But a lot of times they are so unrealistic.

But I mean that is what makes a good story right?

I liked how the book wasn't over fanciful. 

There were a lot of story lines to tie up in this book and a lot of unanswered questions through out the book that the author could have been really dramatic with or over indulged.

But he didn't. 

He just told a really good historically accurate story with amazing characters. 

No crazy over the top, this-could-only-happen-in-a-fiction-book, resolutions to any of the characters story lines.

He just made it very realistic but at the same time draws you in with the amazing characters he has telling the story.

So good.

Worth the 1000 pages. 

read it. 

Peace,
