World Without End Audiobook

" Couldn't put it down until I had read it! Brilliant! "

" Almost as good as "Pillars" "

" Probably more like 4.5. It was a slower start for me, but by the middle I couldn't put it down. A very good book. "

" Really enjoyed the story - grateful to not live in that time period caught between the Roman Catholic church and nobility. No doubt in my mind, I would have been born a serf. "

" I loved Pillars but was largely disappointed with this - it felt like he was just writing the first story all over again - just set 200 years later. "

" Was glad when it finally ended "

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

" Took me a while to get into it at first but then I couldn't put it down. The characters came alive and it was fascinating to read about the way of life in the 1400's especially during The Plague. "

" Really enjoyed this sequal to Pillars of the Earth. Very well written characters which illustrate the divide between the have's and the have not's "

" I listened to the audiobook "

" Loved this book just as much as the first one. "

" Enjoyable enough, but it felt too much like I was rereading the original. "

" Follett did not disappoint with this sequel. However, after a while some of the story line seemed a bit too reminiscent of the first book. Even so, it is definitely worth the read. "

" Not so much architectural details as in the first book, but this still threw a huge punch. I listened to the audio book read by John Lee and the storytelling was superb. I like strong female characters so I was naturally drawn to Caris. She's in my list of favorite kickass heroines. "

" Very good, but at times you'll swear you're re-reading Pillars of the Earth. "

" This book ran between a 4 or a 5 star until the end. Compared to pillars the characters aren't as well made including the villains but my biggest issue was with the ending and how they tried to tie everything up felt forced. Good book but should have been better. "

" I enjoyed this book, but it did take me a bit to plow through being over 1100 pages. There seemed to be terrible things always happening to the good people and a couple of times I put it down to take a breather or read ahead to see if things got better lol. But I am glad I finished it, "

" Hardly interesting. I finished it but wouldn't read another in this series if he wrote it. The story line is tired and the prose flat. An airplane read for an 24h layover if there ever was one. "

" Amazing. Strongly recommended "

" even better than the first "

" Not as good as the first book, but still a good read. "

" It was no Pillars of the Earth, and it could have been shorter, but relatively enjoyable. "

" Didn't like it as much as Pillars of the Earth, but still a great read! "

" I really enjoyed this book, and it's long, which I love.If you love old england, you'll like it. "

" The sequel to The Pillars of the Earth this book has it all...I adore this man's writing. Well researched, continues the tale of building the Gothic cathedral...ends with the Black Death. Every element of human experience is in this tale....LOVED. "

" 2nd best book I have ever read. (after Pillars pt.1) "

" As it turns out I enjoyed this book more than the first - If you ask me you should read this book "

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

" Not a bad yarn, a page turner, but, I think I've been "Folletted" out. Personally, I could have done with a little less bodice ripping and more character development, historical points. "

" A BIG doorstopper of a novel that has enough action, incident, twists and complex characters for a couple of dozen trilogies. Ken Follett's mighty historical fiction is one of the best books I've read this year. I look forward to reading the second volume of his "Century" series very soon. "

" Loved it! Another long read, but worth it. "

" Almost as good as Pillars of the Earth, Follett's stories are just irresistible. "

" Though I enjoyed Pillars of the Earth slightly more, I would definitely recommend World Without End to anyone who enjoyed the first novel. It may be long, but it's well worth the read. Many of the characters will stay with me for a long time to come. "

" Excellent book. Ken Follett is a master world builder. "

" Not as great as "Pillars," but still fascinating... "

" I was so looking forward for the sequel to Pillars of the Earth that I asked one of my students to get it for me in his trip to London. I read it in the metro to work in 4 days. It confirmed that his writing compels you to read it till the end, and leaves you wanting more. "

" Unfortunately too similar to Pillars of the Earth. The characters are nearly transplanted, and while the circumstances are different they are quite similar. Still a good book, but if you've read one you've basically read the other "

" Excellent Book!!!! Ken Follett can tell a story!! "

" A must read! Pillars of the Earth was great and World Without End met every expectation. "

" Good story - pretty much similar to Pillars of the Earth "

" Once again, Follett wowed me with his epic work. I especially like the way the lives of his characters intertwine and the detailed descriptions of all facets of life in the 1300's. "

" Although not as gripping as the first one, it is set quite some time later, I still really enjoyed Follett's writing and the saga he presents. What a masterpiece. "
