A lot of work...but worth it.
1 of 1 found this helpful This is an incredibly well-written book with several compelling parallel and over-lapping storylines. But it is hard to get into. Thank goodness for the audiobook. If I had to carry that dictionary-sized tome and look up every weird medieval word, I doubt I'd pick it up a 2nd time.
But the reader is excellent and keeps you hooked into the story - once you FINALLY get hooked. It takes a long time because the author insists on giving every iota of detail possible. By chapter 3 you'll be ready to take an exam for an architecture license... and make bread. Also, the minutiae of Catholic Church politics drove me nuts. I just wanted to get on with it already. I guess the author felt it was needed to set the groundwork. But for Pete's sake! I was up to CD 11 (of 32!!!!)before I cared anything about what was happening. I only kept listening because it was my book club's selection.
But now we've already had the book club meeting, I know how things turned out in the story, and I'm STILL listening to the CDs. Once you're hooked - you're in. Follett is a great writer and the reader John Lee does him justice. Just be patient. It's worth it.

Abridged Version. Heart-wrenching stories. Good readers
Very moving stories about a life we only hear about on the late night news. All from the perspective of various children. Enlightening. Riveting.
I was just disappointed to find out that there were 2 stories in the book that are not included in the CD. Not only did I wish I could have heard them, but I got these CD in order to discuss the work with a book club. Now will not be completely aware of the longest story in the book and will have to sit out that part of the discussion. It says "unabridged selections". Focus on the word "selections", not "unabridged". I don't know if there is a full 5-story version out there. I would seek it out - or just get the book. It is inexpensive and not very long.
