As good as Pillers of the Earth was that's how bad the World Without End is.
It is a real soap opera. The characters are tortured without end in an unrealestic way. As a student of midevil culture I have a insite into the time. His physical discriptions are good but the application of what many of the characters do is unrealistic being that they are either pure evil or good, no gray areas people are not like that.The book is an exact copy of his first book. The characters are the same moved 200 years later and follow the same pattern doing the same things. You can figure out what is going to happen next,it is that obvious. The book is annoyning to read in that the plots and twists are telegraphed so much that it becomes boring.The juvinile sex is even boring.
It is a ashsame that great authors have to surcome to the mighty dollar and because they have a great book they think they can churn out a second with in the same format. Write something new and different. I hate soap operas and that what the book is.
