Helpful Score: 1

With my fascination of the Middle Ages, I couldn't put this book down. Follett weaved intricate stories of people of power brought to the brink of starvation, or worse, executed, the struggles and triumphs of one of the leading characters, Phillip, who began as a humble monk and the family of the builder of one of the greatest cathedrals in all of England. They were all at the mercy of the whim of the current king and his/her subjects. This book is 973 pages, but there are no "slow spots". It gallops from one fascinating tale to the next.
