natschis 's review for:

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
4.0
adventurous challenging dark informative tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
This is not a light read. I found the overall arc of the story to be compelling but felt that the author sometimes used gore or sex to try to keep things interesting at calmer plot points. A bit too graphic for me, but those not bothered by that would likely really enjoy it.
