Finally finished! “The Pillars of the Earth” may not be for everyone, but do not let the size of the book put you off. Yes it did take me awhile to read it. Some parts did drag. But for the overall story (or stories), it was well worth it. Sometimes the author picked up on a thread only to leave it...for now. But by the end of the book, everything is tied up.

For me personally, I loved Jack and Aliena's story.

It's funny...I just finished the book. I was adding movies to my Netflix list and I came across one called “Beckett”, about thomas Beckett and King Henry II. I was tempted to add it, but decided not to. Instead I'm going to start watching the Starz series based on this book!
