Anyone reading Pillars of the Earth that wants to talk about it? I've just begun it.
Answer
I am not a Ken Follett fan at all, so it took me a long time to get around to this book. I finally read it after recommendations from friends.
I liked it very much. It's quite a departure from his normal stuff. If you just started reading it, I don't want to give away any spoilers :) But, if you like historical fiction, you will enjoy this book.
He clearly did a lot of research into the time period to write the book. The flavor of day to day life seems right. I loved all the little details about what they ate, how they thought, and so on. My only real gripe is that it seems "Forest Gumpish" in that most every important event of the era is experienced by the one extended family .... pretty unlikely! But I guess he had to do it this way to make a coherent story.
KF has finally, after many years, written a sequel of sorts, that takes place maybe 50-100 years later. I have not read it yet but it's on my list. If you enjoy Pillars of the Earth you may also want to look into it.
