![]() I appreciated the historical setting and the plot. ![]() The Pillars of the Earth: While I enjoyed this first book, by no means did I think it lived up to all the hype. I remember in high school learning about the kings and queens, about the peasants and nobles, about the Crusades… These two books brought all of that textbook learning into context. The two books were set in England during the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, respectively. What had I heard about these two epic novels (almost 1,000 pages each) ? I heard that The Pillars of the Earth was amazing, and World Without End was a let down after the first novel.Īll in all, I enjoyed these two books but I didn’t completely agree with what I had heard about either book. It’s less the case with books, but the hype still makes me wary about starting a certain books. You see, whenever there’s hype about a movie, I tend to be sorely disappointed. I was hesitant to pick up The Pillars of the Earth and it’s sequel, World Without End. The Pillars of the Earth & World Without End ![]()
