#295: Not for World Without End - I barely made it through the first book of the series - did not care for it. I will read Midnight's Children with you though - if I can find my copy! Spring sounds good for The Once and Future King.

Mary Beth- Hooray for finishing! Thanks for the positive comments! If you change your mind about World Without End, we will be starting Jan 15th, keep in mind we all have a tbr mountain to tackle. I'm also planning a G.R. of Midnight's Children starting in March. Take care and hope to see you ...

Welcome Mark--I enjoyed getting to know you in The Pillars of the Earth group read, and hope to join in with World Without End. I'll be following your reading with interest.

Susan- Thanks for stopping by! Lark and Termite is a must read! We are doing a group read of World Without End on Jan 15th and I think I'm going with Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie in March. Sounds like a very interesting choice! Terri- Thanks for the visit! I've also seen you ...

67) World Without End by Ken Follett This mammoth of a book is like the TV show "Days of Our Lives" set in the middle ages. That may sound like a recipe for a catastrophe, but it actually is a winning compination. At least for me; I loved it! :)

Karen- I'm glad you enjoyed World Without End. It seemed to have got mixed reviews. You'll have to stop by the group read of it in January and see what people are saying!

World Without End wasn't as good as Pillars of the Earth IMO, but was still a good read.

I finished World Without End Ken Follett last night. I thought it was excellent. The special part is that I've been discussing it with my daughter and she has such interesting thoughts and insights. Carrying on the plague theme, I picked up a non-fiction book for my 999 Challenge Epidemiolog ...

I just finished World Without End by Ken Follett, the sequel (although it takes place 200 years after the first book) to Pillars of the Earth. It was a very satisfying read although there was less about actual building than the first book. But the characters were well drawn, the story ...

I'm about halfway through World Without End by Ken Follett and enjoying it immensely. It's interesting, detailed, thought-provoking, and best of all, I can discuss it with my daughter who finished it two weeks ago and pushed me into reading it sooner than I wanted to. She was right to do so. ...

I've gotten through 500 of the 1000 pages of World Without End and I just don't want to pick it up anymore. I liked the prequel Pillars of the Earth, but I just can't seem to get into this one. A contributing factor is that I am very busy at school helping get the new computers ready for the ...

I have World Without End on my list to read, but who knows when I will get there. I am glad to hear that it was good. I hate when the sequel isn't good, but you still try and read it.

World Without End, the follow up to The Pillars of the Earth was very good. I liked World Without End much better but I listened to the audio version and the narrator was fantastic.

World Without End by Ken Follett The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth is my absolute favorite work of historical fiction. Of course, World Without End recently came out as the sequel but the original will always hold a special place for me. I studied art history as an undergrad and really enjoyed his detail on medieval times ...

26. World Without End by Ken Follett Unabridged audiobook which was 44 hours and 55 minutes long read by John Lee. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves historical fiction. John Lee is by far the best narrator I have ever listened to on audiobooks. I never tired of the story, ...

... been pretty diverse but seldom as long as this book...if memory serves, it was over 900 pages. I can't wait to get to World Without End!

I first noticed Pillars of Earth when the sequal was published World Without End. I read so many great reviews of Pillars and had been doing a lot of reading in that time-period in English history. Also, it was a unique book for an author like Ken Follett. It kept my attention throughout...I ...

... finished Duchess A Novel of Sarah Churchill and started Rebecca. I am still reading Middlemarch and listening to World Without End.

I haven't read a book that has really drawn me in this year. However, the one that came closest is World Without End by Ken Follett, the sequel to The Pillars of the Earth. The sheer dramaticism kept me pushing to the next scene, in that quintessential good book quality that makes you keep ...

... one of my favorite books for almost 20 years. It was with some apprehension that I decided to re-read it before beginning World Without End, afraid that it wouldn't live up to my memory. It did, however. And in some ways I think I enjoyed it even more this time, since I wasn't in any hurry ...

I finished World Without End, and plan to post a review of it before the end of the weekend. I'm not sure what to start next. I also plan to go to the library tomorrow to get a book-on-CD. I'm just going to pick from what they have there.

... exceed the 50. April 25, 2008 25 books read 10,359 pages read Currently reading Middlemarch and listening to World Without End. Up next, Rebecca.

I am reading Middlemarch for the Group Read thread. Listening to World Without End because I really enjoyed Pillars of the Earth and reading Dutchess, A Novel of Sarah Churchill because it sounded interesting and it was a bargain book. By the way #1, it's nice to see you read a family ...

... Four I listed on BookMooch and they were gone immediately. The others which included Unbowed by Wangari Maathai, World Without End by Ken Follett and A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah were for me. Unfortunately, my dogearing, spine binding husband is interested in reading a ...

Wow, this really is working out to double the messages.

I'm started World Without End today. I will hopefully finish Florence: the Golden Age 1138-1737 this weekend.

I've had many patrons come in asking where the "bibliography" section is. Also, when World Without End first came out, I fielded requests for "The Ends of the Earth," and other variations.

My swap buddy bought World without End and is going to loan it to me while she is listening to my Pillars of the Earth (I listened to Pillars over the Christmas drives back and forth to relatives). In the meantime, I am listening to some Amanda Quick abridged books. I've read them all in ...

I have been in Venice today with The Venetian Mask and also floating through England with World Without End.

... The Golden Age by Gene Brucker. That's for when I need light reading. After I finish with the former I'll start World without End by Ken Follett.

Still listening to World Without End. This one may take a while since it is 43 hours long.

Thanks digfish, I will have to try that version. Tomorrow I will start World Without End by Ken Follett.

... them, should they count anyway? 1. Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett--read in anticipation of the new book, World Without End. I have started World and don't think it is as good as Pillars. Pillars is the best historical novel of the medieval period I have read. Even though it ...

... of the Earth by Ken Follett, which spans about 20 years, and is a wonderful read. There is also a hefty sequel called World Without End, which I'll certainly be picking up soon. Edited to add that it's acyually over thirty years... I hadn't quite finished when I posted!

... fantastic! There were about 300 pages where I wanted to abandon the book and am so glad I did not. I can't wait to read World Without End next.

79. World Without End by Ken Follett 5/5

... there's not much happening in the narrative, you just get sucked in... Am looking forward to eventually reading the sequel World Without End once I've made some more headway in my TBR pile :) Still with the light and fluffy reading: Deadly Love by Brenda Joyce...

ivyd, I hear you! I had put World Without End on my wishlist at BookMooch and thought as soon as I got my hands on it I would devour it, but now, not so much. Maybe its the sheer size of the two in succession that is daunting? I'm not normally shy of big books, but it is a big commitment to ...

I'm having the same reaction to World Without End! I got a copy on sale at B&N before Christmas, then couldn't find Pillars of the Earth (must have loaned it out & not gotten it back). My daughter gave me a copy of Pillars almost a month ago... I keep thinking it will be the next book... and ...

... as could Mary Doria Russell's Dreamers of the Day, and/or A Thread of Grace. I got a brand new looking copy of World Without End from the used book store yesterday too. I loved Pillars of the Earth but read it so many years ago I would like to do a re-read before I pick up the ...

5. World Without End by Ken Follett - I just finished this massive 1014 page volume. I finished The Pillars of the Earth earlier in the month. It came in at just under 1000 pages. POTE came to me by way of the Secret Santa here on LT. I don't think I would have picked it up otherwise. I ...

Ok, am I supposed to use the square brackets? I'll try again! World Without End by Ken Follett and Home to Holly Springs by Jan Karon. Right now I'm reading One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson.

I second Gwyndydd's analysis of Pillars of the Earth. It applies to Follett's new novel, World Without End, too, though he does depict life in the 14th century as somewhat less dreary. He has clearly done a lot of research about specific details of life in the Middle Ages, especially technology, ...

... people of any era are largely motivated by sex and power and ambition for their children. However, while enjoying Follett's World Without End (which I'm not quite halfway through right now), I have to agree that his main characters are too modern. I think the main problem is they're just too ...

... set for Christmas, and I read the first 5 in one big, long gulp. I'm taking a break now for Ken Follett's new historical, World Without End. I can see why his historicals are so popular, especially with people who don't read a lot of historical novels. He includes a lot of explanation of ...

I read World Without End over Christmas and enjoyed it thoroughly. Its main fault (imo) is that Follett assumes that people of the past are really just like people of the present, and are primarily motivated by sex and power. But he actually GETS the social history of the period, and does a ...

I'm re-reading Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett before I get into World Without End. I first read this book more than 10 years ago and I'm loving it just as much the second time around.

21. World Without End by Ken Follett I'm not the biggest fan of his writing style, but this one and Pillars of the Earth definitely hooked me. I really liked it.

There's also a sequel (loosely interpreted) to the Pillars of Earth, if you're interested: World Without End. It takes place a few generations later in the same village. Not as good, but still worth a read if you liked the first one.

... mess, the epitome of a promising premise gone bad; relentlessly grim, boring, and a major let-down. - Ken Follett's World Without End was so beyond stupid that I'm sure I'm losing IQ points by even mentioning it. Those were the prominent offenders, but a few others either didn't ...

Working on World Without End. Not the biggest fan of Ken Follett's writing style, but I do like the stories (I read Pillars of the Earth about 5 years ago).

Strolled through BJs today and came away with World Without End by Ken Follett. Also picked up Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I also bought several children's books at Barnes and Noble for my grand-daughter: Books 1 to 4 of The Magic Treehouse series. I was going to by the ...

yup I'm crushed... I loved pillars of the earth was looking forward to world without end :)

... of the Earth from PBS on the recommendation of many who loved it, so I'm glad to hear that you did, too. I almost ordered World Without End from audible but listened to the sample and thought it was boring, so I decided to get a cheap/free copy of Pillars before investing. I'll be interested ...

... and loved Pillars of the Earth, and have recommended it many times over the years, yet another reason why the over-blown World Without End disappointed me so much.

I read the first 600 pages of Ken Follett's new book World Without End and thought it was just awful: cartoonish characters moved by off-the-wall motivation, nearly every page bloated by cliches and trite phrases, with jarring, anachronistic language sprinkled liberally throughout as well. At ...

I haven't read World without end yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I think I'm #40 on the library wait list. It's also on my "to buy when it comes in paperback" list - which may happen before my turn comes up at the library :)

I just got Ken Follett's World Without End. Have any of you read it?

... though, so I don't begrudge the time I'm spending on it. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and purchase the "sequel" World Without End when it comes out on 10/6. I received The Little Prince from a friend, and I plan to read that next week.
