Die Tore der Welt (Abridged) Audiobook

" I didn't find this sequel as engrossing as it's predecessor. The jumps in time made it difficult to relate to the characters and building a tower doesn't compare to building a cathedral. I found it difficult to figure out which character I was supposed to care about. I enjoy the period but needed more character development to maintain my interest. "

" Excellent novel with rich period details like Pillars of the Earth. Continuity of the story told through the main characters as they live their life, and loves, in 1300's England. "

" Obra maestra, las primeras 200 paginas no son tan buenas pero luego alcanza la calidad de los pilares de la tierra. 4 estrellas "

" I loved this book. I am not sure how I missed it when it was first released. Although some of the themes are similar to Pillars, I think Follett is so talented at writing engaging historical fiction with interesting characters that I forgive him that. I couldn't put it down (even though it was 1000+ pages). "

" A fascinating social history of a period I knew little about. "

" Incredible sequel "

" I only give this two stars because it's basically the same book as Pillars of the Earth. I expect a different experience book to book so if I don't get one, I'll down-rank a sequel. Regardless, it's entertaining. "

" Great book. Really enjoyed it. Colourful characters that you grow up with. "

" Enjoyed it as much as the first. May have taken him 18 years to finish the sequel, but it was worth waiting for! "

" A solid follow up to Pillars of The Earth. "

" Awesome book. After reading The Pillars of the Earth, I couldn't wait to read World Without End. Ken Follett is an amazing writer and shows us that he's not locked into writing thrillers. "

" Not as compelling as Pillars of the Earth, but nice to see what becomes of our beloved characters. "

" Another great book by Follett. Not as good as Pillars, but a great book nonetheless. I hope this is followed by a third in the series, as that will be a must read. "

" It was worth waiting 18 years for this sequel. Compelling story, sucks you right back in time, "

" I found World Without End as intriguing as Pillars of the Earth. While it has its few flaws, overall its still a great book. I look forward to starting Fall of Giants. I've listened to the audio version and loved it. "

" Great sequel - could not put this book down! "

" Once you are locked into the characters ots tough to put down "

" Ton's o twists on a grand scale. If you really liked Pillars of the Earth then you'll love finding out what happened after the Cathedral was built. The main characters were just a fabulous as POE and the antagonists even more villainous. The ending was very satisfying. "

" A great continuation of "The Pillars of The Earth" "

" great story, great plot. awfully written. "

" Not quite as exciting as the first book but a really good read just the same. I really like Ken Follett's writing style. "

" So-So. A flurry of action among the characters then time passes. This pattern repeated throughout the book. Too often I wanted to know how "action" played out during the "time passes" segments. "

" Avvincente, appassionante, intrigante. Follet non delude mai "

" Another great book by Ken Follett! Cannot wait to start his next trilogy. "

" Pretty much exactly the same story as Pillars of the Earth... "
