Design Pod _esign_od — This book is an absolute classic. While it's not the first vampire novel, it is probably the most well known. Great read. I enjoyed the way the story was presented.

Ralph Schoenenberger rsc0b9 — Pillars Of The Earth as anyone who read it knows is an ambitious epic novel. With so many books begging to be read, I veer away from 1000 page tomes unless there is a compelling reason to read such. I found that reason in two unequivically enthusiastic endorsements - one from a carpenter friend who never reads novels but read this one and pretty much demanded I read it, and another from an avid reading friend who begged me to read it. What's a guy to do? I read the book. The beauty of good epic storytelling is that it doesn't have to be high level literature; what it has to be is high level storytelling and Pillars is certainly that. Reviewing a book of this breadth and scope without mentioning any spoilers is a bit of a task, so I will keep my comments as general as possible. The best epics are often set in a world familiar/but unfamiliar to us; speculative fiction giving us worlds exotic yet somewhat like our own, historic fiction plunking us down in a world we ourselves could have lived in had we been born in an earlier era. Identification with characters is the crucial element. As we read do we see enough of ourselves in the protagonists and antagonists to be drawn in? And that is where Follett wildly succeeds in Pillars. He captures the humanity of his characters; their passions, their dreams, their hopes, their fears, their experiences that mold and shape them in a realistic way. And much like real life, character flaws do not go away, but often mutate and begat greater flaws. Character strengths likewise persevere in the midst of adversity and become even greater in the crucible of trial. Follett captures that aspect of humanity well and creates compellingly noble as well as reprehensibly loathsome characters. Epics done well are worth the investment in time and pay off richly for the reader. Pillars was certainly such a book.
