Well, I didn't like it:(

OK, I know it's been forever since I've posted about reading The Pillars of The Earth, but hey, life happens. Here's my thoughts on it. It took me two tries, but I finally finished this book. The beginning is incredibly slow and boring, but I was told it gets better so I trudged through. By midway I was angry most of the time while reading it. There are several characters who are so incredibly evil and constantly getting away with horrific acts. It was like watching train wrecks and not being able to do anything about it. It would have been better if there were even one character that I truly liked, but even the so called good characters made me nuts. You need to be on anti-depressants to read this book. It was so draining to read about their horrible lives day after day. I couldn't wait to finish it to to see if something good would finally happen. I was not happy about the ending. All in all, I'm still kinda angry about the whole thing. On a side note, for anyone who has watched Days of Our Lives, did Waleran totally remind you of Stefano DiMara?

I'm reading Pillars of the Earth

 I'm a huge fan of historical fiction.  Just about any time period will do, although I do love me some Scottish Highlanders.  The book I'm currently reading is called The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet.  I'm only about 30 pages in so I don't have much of an opinion on it yet.  I did come highly rated by my husband, who's the biggest reader I know.  He's been wanting me to read this book for years.  I actually did start to read it about 12 years ago.  We were living in England back then, and the book is set in medieval England, so he thought I'd love it.  For some reason I didn't enjoy it at that time, and I stopped reading it.  I rarely ever stop reading a book once I've started.  It's been on the book shelf for years taunting me and I've decided to give it another chance.  It's a pretty long book, so here's hoping I can get through it this time.  I'll keep ya'll posted on what I think.
