MY THOUGHTS
This book was my introduction to Ken Follett. I've had Pillars of the Earth on my to be read list for a long time, but never seemed to get around to reading it. My husband and I watched the mini series over our Christmas vacation and really enjoyed it. I felt it was too soon to read the book so I looked for another one, A Dangerous Fortune is what I chose.
I had mixed feelings about this book, maybe it was my mood. On the front cover it states that this book is a page turner. It was a slow paced, drawn out book.
I rate this book 2.5/5
Signing off till next time.
