Book Review of The Pillars of the Earth

The Pillars of the Earth
Helpful Score: 2


This book was given to me by a Professor of Medieval History and Early Christianity because, in his words, "it is the most historiacally accurate fictional account of the period, and it has everything a book needs to be a great read." He was absolutely correct. I love this book and its continuance. It turned me on to historical fiction, and I will now read much more historical fiction. In fact, it is my favorite genre, and I never would have thought that possible.
