I am fine with reading long books. I read fairly quickly and even if it is long-winded I tend to be able to get past it because I want to know how it ends. This book is the only book I have ever put down because it pissed me off. Why spend over 900 pages reading about the unfairness in life. I can read the newspaper for that.This is a fiction book that I expected to be alot better than it was. I felt ripped off I spent the money on it. I do not see what everyone seems to see in this book. The only good thing I can say about it is it gave my mind ideas for different stories.

An incredible novel that takes you back into the life of 12th century England. The characters are superbly developed and relatable, and the plot keeps you hooked over the whole thousand+ pages.
