Customer Review: WORLD WITHOUT END: Another great read by Ken Follett! A little longer than PILLARS OF THE EARTH, but it, too, left me wanting more. Two hundred years after Prior Philip in Kingsbridge, the characters and conflicts Follett has created rival those in the prequel.
Customer Review: I question Oprah's literary tastes. She gushed over "Pillars," saying she was sad as she neared its conclusion, knowing the read would soon be over. Please!

The agent should figure it out by himself. To make matters worse, he should steal the stuff in a way no one would ever suspect Israel has... more info
I've enjoyed Ken Follett's past books, and being interested in this time period specifically I thought this book would be a natural for me. Not so...
I found most of the characters unsympathetic to just downright pathetic. Feliks was the best of the lot, but I wasn't sure what the... more info
Customer Review: I have read many of Follett's books, but this one was very slow and
