Cons
- Yeah, I’m moving on. Got to chapter 6 and it just wasn’t working for me... Pillars of the Earth was a let down.
- I was pretty disappointed. Credit where it's due: the architectural history was very well done. But the characters, the prose, the plot were all mediocre at best. Good guys are good, bad guys twirl their mustaches and do lots of evil and...

- I feel the exact same way about Pillars of the Earth. The multiple SA scenes are so, SO unnecessary and really made my apathy about the story ramp up to actual hatred of the book.

I was pretty disappointed. Credit where it's due: the architectural history was very well done. But the characters, the prose, the plot were all mediocre at best. Good guys are good, bad guys twirl their mustaches and do lots of evil and rape.
On one hand, this was an incredibly easy read for the most part. The impossible to visualize architectural details were rough but besides that, its a story that moves along at such a nice pace... On the other hand, now that i'm done, it is pretty repetitive.
