Over the holidays I got a chance to read The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and thoroughly enjoyed it. As much as I tried to put it down, I just couldn’t and did my usual up till midnight reading trick. I will admit to watching the Pillars Of The Earth DVD prior to reading the book, which can sometimes be a bad thing – although on this occasion it meant that I had images in my head to match the characters making the emersion into the story even deeper.
Without spoiling the book or the DVD I have to say that they can both stand alone or work together very well, even though they both end-up being quite different at the end. I thoroughly loved the whole book and didn’t experience any boredom throughout. I would recommend it to anyone, even those who aren’t necessarily interested in Historical Novels as I am.
Lastly I have to thank my friend Janyne for helping get my hands on a copy of the book so quickly, I really appreciate it.

I watched the series on tv a little while back and loved it but for some reason I think I missed the last one. I didn’t realise there was a novel. Glad you enjoyed it too.
Hi Shell
If you want to borrow the DVD to watch the last episode let me know and I’ll give it to your Mum on Wednesday.
