- EPIC ENTERTAINMENT!
- There is nothing I like more then finding a book I can really sink my teeth into. I love it when a book is so good I find myself thinking about it when I'm not reading it. I love when a book is an easy read not because the content is frivalous, but the writing is fluid and well paced. I love books that have epic story lines and diverse characters. I love historical fiction that is well researched but not "preachy". As a relatively slow reader, I love being able to read 100+ pages in one go without batting an eye. I love this book because it provides all these things.
If you're looking for a book with emotional depth and contemplative prose, move along.
If you're looking to invest yourself in a long and thrilling tale, look no further.

- Great sequel, unlike any other
- Even though the characters are different, set later in time, you're able to get right back in the story like its prequel. I was initially disappointed that the story didn't pick up where it left off, but once I got into it, it was so much better! Again, the architectural details and Follett's ability to really "put you in the story" is the best part.

- 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!

- Fabulous Book
- I 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.
