Editorial Review: Product Description: A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett's historical masterpiece. Abridged edition read by John Lee Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - My favorite book of all timeI read this book with no expectations. I was initially intimidated by the size of it, but after a few months of putting off picking it up, I sat down with the first chapter. I thought it would be a struggle to begin, but it was a smooth transition and once I was into the story, I never wanted to leave.

Rating: - A must readThe Pillars of the Earth (Deluxe Edition) (Oprah's Book Club) Not your usual Ken Follett, but of the highest excellence. Gripping, informative, and thoroughly enjoyable. I bought the audio edition for my 89-year-old father who was a mason by trade. My 90-year-old mother, who consumes books like confections, will also be wrapped up in it.
