Blog post #6

This week I was finishing up the book that I started last year, Pillars Of The Earth by Ken Follett. While just finally finishing this book after a year I was very disappointed. Now I usually don't watch Oparah but I did catch one episode, and it was all about what a great book Pillars Of The Earth was. The episode featured an interview with the author. Now reading the book I feel let down, It was not that great of a book. First of all it was way to long and stretched out, the same story could have been told in hundreds of less pages. It also felt loosely pulled together. During the commercials on Oparah on of its main talking points  is the integration of architecture into the story. This is not the case the church is only mentioned vaguely  and has very little to do with the story. From what I have heard many people love this book but not me I think it is mediocre and the author could have done much better.
