we appreciate that you are trying to cultivate a little disagreement to sharpen your wit with, but us follett readers are too far beyond such simple pleasures.

don't worry, they will. i read it as a teenager a long time ago, it may not have held up but i think it probably has. i tried reading the sequel but didn't finish it. pillars has some great scenes in it.

i have to say the rape scene is pretty good. he didn't try to cover up how hot and gratifying it is. ken, the absolute savage. not that that's my thing.

I was going to argue based on the graphic scenes of rape, then I remembered 50 shades of gray was purchased by all the moms on earth

yeh. the hanging scene, too. or the jongeleur climbing the cathedral at night. or buying/selling cabbages at market. or the priest walking the cathedral interior meditating on its structure. should probably read it again but my copy is old and busted, and a new one is way too expensive. $10 for a trade back. garbage.

Do the choices matter or do all paths lead to the same ending?

Crappy, badly written, unbelievable characters. Plot consisted of raping motivation into the protagonist.

I read the first one of these, and it made me realize Follet is a dogshit author.

Its like a parody of historical fiction. The edwardian period painted by someone who watched Blackadder goes Forth as a key component of his research.
