I just finished a fantastic book and had to share it with my StoryBook.com friends.  If you like historical period pieces filled with battles, the struggle between church and state and of course, loves and missed loves, then you too will love Ken Follett’s “The Pillars of the Earth”. 

First, let me say that the book was a recommendation from a colleague of mine.  This is important to note because I am not in the habit of purchasing 1,000 page books.  (Between my RSS feeds, online articles and the other work related journals I read, I am more like a "300-pager" type of girl).  Nonetheless, from beginning to end, Ken Follett had me at the edge of my seat as I followed the life’s transgressions of his characters.  The book was filled with multiple compelling story lines, making it easy for anyone to fall in love with it and be carried away in their own fantasy, mirroring their personal likes.

I never thought I could be this passionate about a "1,000 pager" with multiple plot lines, but Ken Follett makes it easy for you to follow along and stay engaged.

The Pillars of the Earth is a must read!
