The saga that has enthralled the millions of readers of The Pillars of the Earth continues with World Without End. On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor. In the forest they see two men killed. As adults, their lives will be braided together by ambition, love, greed and revenge. They will see prosperity and famine, plague and war. One boy will travel the world but come home in the end; the other will be a powerful, corrupt nobleman. One girl will defy the might of the medieval church; the other will pursue an impossible love. And always they will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day. Ken Follett's masterful epic The Pillars of the Earth enchanted millions of readers with its compelling drama of war, passion and family conflict set around the building of a cathedral. World Without End takes readers back to medieval Kingsbridge two centuries later, as the men, women and children of the city once again grapple with the devastating sweep of historical change. World Without End is followed by the third of Ken Follett's Kingsbridge novels, A Column of Fire.

– Krig, lidenskap, sex, hekseri, død, henrettelser, tortur ... Denne boka spenner over en utrolig mengde temaer, men var, for å si det rett ut, en gedigen skuffelse.Jeg var ganske lei etter 200 sider, problemet er bare at det da gjenstår 900 sider til, som egentlig inneholder mer av det samme som de første 200. Mennesketypene er ensformige: De er onde, snille, griske, barske, sleipe, kloke, tøytete eller feige. Det er bare enten eller. Men fire personer stikker seg ut. En genial arkitekt, en kirkekritisk nonne, en ond adelsmann, og en fattig sliterkvinne. Én ting har de felles: som barn var de vitne til et mord. Tidsrommet er fra 1327 til 1361, og det vises at Follett har gjort grundig research, og gjør mye for å bevise detaljkunnskapen, og også her blir det for mye synes jeg. Boka inneholder også mye sex, og på mange steder hvor det virker veldig spekulativt. Follett skal ha for sin kunnskap om middelalderen, men les heller en annen historisk bok.

– Im happy to say that this book was just like my expectations. The book is long, but it has a lot going on and is not at all bloated. There are several stories being told, but they all interweave and the elimination of one would be a loss. Although it is set in the same location and refers back to some of the original characters, reading or remembering "Pillars" is not required. I enjoy learning about the construction and medical theories of the day and wish this aspect had been further expanded, but if a reader does not, there is not so much of it that it would be detrimental. A great read for fans of "Pillars".
