Editorial Review: Product Description: Ken Follett has 90 million readers worldwide. The Pillars of the Earth is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett has written the most anticipated sequel of the year-World Without End. Unabridged edition read by John Lee Amazon.com Review: Ken Follett has 90 million readers worldwide. The Pillars of the Earth is his bestselling book of all time. Now, eighteen years after the publication of The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett has written the most-anticipated sequel of the year, World Without End. In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, a sweeping epic novel set in twelfth-century England centered on the building of a cathedral and many of the hundreds of lives it affected. Critics were overwhelmed--"it will hold you, fascinate you, surround you" (Chicago Tribune)--and readers everywhere hoped for a sequel. World Without End takes place in the same town of Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building the exquisite Gothic cathedral that was at the heart of The Pillars of the Earth. The cathedral and the priory are again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge, but this sequel stands on its own. This time the men and women of an extraordinary cast of characters find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas--about medicine, commerce, architecture, and justice. In a world where proponents of the old ways fiercely battle those with progressive minds, the intrigue and tension quickly reach a boiling point against the devastating backdrop of the greatest natural disaster ever to strike the human race--the Black Death. Three years in the writing, and nearly eighteen years since its predecessor, World Without End breathes new life into the epic historical novel and once again shows that Ken Follett is a masterful author writing at the top of his craft.

 Rating:  - Wonderful stand-alone sequel!An amazingly real biography of a time so far away! This story will envelop you to the very end! Although it ties in with Pillars of the Earth, it functions brilliantly as a novel in its own right. Own it, Read it, LOVE IT! Rating: - world without endone of the very best novels i have read. the central themes of english life in the 14th century: farming: the serfs and nobles: the church and royalty: building cathedrals and bridges: men and women relationships ............are superbly told Rating: - Fabulous BookI just finished World Without End and I'm now mourning it. I'm so sad that it's over. I savored every page of that book...couldn't wait to crawl in bed at night and devour every page. I think I liked it even better than Pillars of the Earth and I loved that book. I crave a sequel desperately. Rating: - Good novelI still prefer Pillars of the Earth, but this one is one great novel and stands on its own. Rating: - Wonderful read!Follett has done it again, taken me to a place & time I can only read about... He's stimulated my mind, with his gift for writing, He had me hooked with Eye of the Needle, I've been a fan ever since! The only bad thing I can say about this book was having it come to an end! :-( Thank you & Blessings! Rena Browse for similar items by category:

Amazon.com: What a phenomenon The Pillars of the Earth has become. It was a bestseller when it was published in 1989, but it's only gained in popularity since then--it's the kind of book that people are incredibly passionate about. What has it been like to see it grow an audience like that?
