    In response to the reader who said that he tired of reading how cathedrals were built - that is the whole idea of this book - to experience how cathedrals were built, the work it involved, and the evolution of building and construction
    I actually got tired of some of the battle scenes!

    I read "World Without End" first (during the Christmas holidays). In fact my wife complained that I was so absorbed in the book, that I was ignoring her. I loved it so much that I immediately went out and bought this one...but the holidays are over. I don't dare start it, as I know what will happen, so I guess that I will save it for the Spring break. This was the first book since Shogun that I absolutely could not put down.

    I have never been more disappointed in a book. There was no character development, as they were all very shallow, and if you cared about any they either died or faded. The constant struggle between good and evil was unbelievable;like a comic book the villain always rose again.I have never read a novel that left me feeling so empty.

    Excelente... una historia muy bien contada, es admirable cómo el autor se las ingenia para mantener el interés del lector a lo largo de más de mil páginas. Más allá de las simplificaciones u obviedades que pueda tener, es un libro que me gustó muchísimo, uno de mis favoritos.

    I too loved Pillars and unbelievably I'm now listening to the 36 CD [insert bold, underline and a bazillion exclaimation marks] audio book of the follow up 'World Without End'. I'm up to CD 26 and it's just as good as Pillars. There are a few references to Thomas Builder and characters from Pillars but as a stand-alone book it's just as absorbing. And if you're wondering why anyone in their right mind would pay $116 for a talking book, I didn't. I just borrow it for NIX @ my lovely local library!

    My fiance bought this book and I put off reading it for weeks, despite his constant assurances that I would love it. I had read the summary blurb and it didn't sound like my kind of literature at all. But when I ran out of other things to read, I finally picked this up, and I ADORED it. I especially loved how there were so many characters to follow and how cleverly their lives intertwined throughout the story. Definitely worth your time, whether you are a historical fiction fan or not.

    Just finished it--LOVED it--I was very pleasantly surprised that the book held my attention, my rapt attention no less, all the way through. I couldn't read quickly enough!

    Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! One of my personal favourties. It's a large book, but don't let that discourage you. The story flows well and isn't predicatable. The characters are well developed.
