World without end

This is a sequel to "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet. Though a sequel, the story happens at a later period, and besides some overlap with names of places and people, its an independent story. Its a fat book of more than 1200 pages. I like fat books since one can enjoy it longer, provided the book is a good one. And so is "World without end". Plotted in the medieval ages, it circles around life of a builder. But there are many sides to the story, all ends woven together. The end somehow got a bit tiring. Unlike "pillars of the earth" which dealt with one big mission of building of a cathedral, this book has many objectives. And that made the end a bit tedious. But overall I enjoyed it.
