The Pillars of the Earth (Kingsbridge, #1)

I read this one awhile ago. I remember it as one of my top five reads of all time even though I mostly dwell within the mystery/thriller genre. I'm hot and cold on Ken Follett books but this one is a wonderful read. I am always on the look out for a book that first and foremost immerses me in the Fictive Dream and this is one of them. And it's an epic so the ride was long and comfortable. My world fell away as I entered this one.
Highly recommend.

Wonderful review, David! It says a lot if your world fell away while reading this book. I should put this on my tbr list!!😊
Thank you. The list of my top five books of all time:
1. Lonesome Dove
2. Pillars of the Earth
3. River God
4. Shogun
5. I Am Pilgrim
6. Woe to Live On
Lonesome Dove is one I've considered reading. A western isn't it?
It's a western but its more about a relationship between two cowboys that is truly touching. The craft level is superior. It won the Pulitzer and it deserved it.

I read this and loved it. If you like twists and turns try Red Winter Journey by Paul Rushworth-Brown.
