no kidding.

The Pillars of the Earth really is the greatest book ever. I've read it twice, and I know I'll read it again. It's a shame this novel doesn't receive the recognition it deserves.

I've read it too and although it makes for a very entertaining and exciting read I don't think it even comes close to being the best book ever.

For one thing I find the characters very one-dimensional. The 'good' characters are unbelievably good and the bad characters nothing but bad which all in all makes everything they do / think / say / feel very predictable, don't you think?
