Ken Follett
This long, epic novel was a great read. The premise behind the 976-page book is the building of a cathedral in 12-century England. The entire novel spans over 50 years, and begins with a small family finding their way to the town of Kingsbridge, where a new cathedral is to be built. What follows is a love story, stories of corruption within the church, a fight for the throne of England, and a constant battle of good versus evil. My only negative comment on this novel was that it seemed to drag at points, especially with the conflicts between some of the main characters. Still, it was worth the time to read this book. Follett has a new book out, which I’m considering, although that one is an intimidating 1024 pages…
