Oh!  Please don't tell me I've finished it!

The Pillars of the Earth is the third Ken Follett book I've read this summer. It is, no doubt, the most riveting piece of historical fiction that Follett has written. Despite the immensity, I read it in four days - I could not put it down.  All of Follett's books are wonderful, but The Pillars of the Earth is a must read.

I would easily give this book.five stars, BUT, it ends during a very awkward situation with a to be continued.  The sequel was supposed to be releases in May of 2015 and is still not out in September 2015,  I'm unable to find any info on the release and I am extremely frustrated.  There's nothing like getting 200 pages in to a great story only to be left hanging.  There was no resolution whatsoever.  Normally books in a series come to a natural conclusion and pick up at a logical starting point in the following volume.  Not this one... I really hope whoever is responsible for the delay gets their act together and gets this book out there.

I'm reading this and it was so good I didn't want to put it down. Then I reached the end. Be prepared to buy book 2 if you get this. Nothing is really answered in this half of the book and I was disappointed when I reached the end. What happened to stand alone books? Everybody seems to be splitting them up into parts and it's very frustrating. I want a beginning, middle, and end.

I know that this is one of a series about a family, but it just stopped without any closure at all.  It is followed by pages about his new book, Zoo.  He could have added another chapter and given some kind of closure.  How long until he finishes this one??? I am tired of authors stopping in the middle of the action to make you buy another book. They should at least call it, part 1 so you have a choice.

I think I am done with this family if this is the way they are going to be written.

I do not want to rate or review what I read. Please leave me alone. This is still America, right?

Im not going to post a review that is long and winded. I think that would just take time away from you actually reading the book. Which you should totally do!

It's it that I dislike it. I have't read it yet. There isn't an " I haven't read it" box! Maybe you should have one.

I love to read but done now. End it. END IT!!!  END IT!!! End it end it end it end it. What's with how many words you need???? Seriously? I had to jump hoops to get back to here. My opinion of this author dropped like no other that I read. Just the fact I had to go through all this to comment after money spent is CRAP!

Let me just say that it's taken everything in my power to try to finish this book.  I am one of those people who does not like to leave a book half finished.  So I slog along until I come to my senses and quit in order to save myself the time.  This is one of those books that I could not finish.  I could not get past the constant name dropping (fashion, brands, places, etc.).  To me, it felt like the author had recently been to London and wanted to throw in all places she had visited, from restaurants to underground station names.  The descriptions of what the main character was wearing, or "who" she was wearing, and that of her friends and other people in the book really irritated me.  Plus it's taken a long time to get the story going.  I'm at the point where something should happen soon to introduce some kind of intrigue to the story but at this point, I'm not sure I care!

I liked this book until almost the end when it seemed as if the author suddenly realized she had other things to do and made up a quick ending to be done with it.
The problem is, and I don't want to give away the plot, I cannot for the life of me figure out the ending.
So,seriously, someone explain or I will go nuts here.

Two months ago I was a huge fan of the Game of the Thrones series.  I read the first three books after the first season of the show, once I found out it was based of this series of books.  I absolutely loved them.  They kept my interests the twist were fun and refreshing.  It was great!  Then I got to the 4th book.  So bored I barely finished it. Then I started this book a month ago... I think I am somewhere around page 300ish?  And I won't finish it (note: my husband just finished it so I made him tell me what happened, and quite honestly I don't want to waste my time). 5 years from now when the next book comes out I might finish this one... but somehow the author would have to make me care what happens next, which I don't right now.  I read another review about these last two books being characters wandering the world doing things that are setting up for future books, but what is lacking in these books are the set ups are not interesting and look like they are going no-where. They certainly don't make me want to keep reading.  And I have had enough of chapter's ending where it looks like a character is dead and 5 chapters later they are fine.  Can we please think of a new game Mr. Martin?  Oh and Cat is brought back from the dead and is only in one chapter of this book and then forgotten.  Why did you bring her back if that was all you are going to do?  If she is going to show up in a later book....seriously?  Then you should have cut out all the new character's you brought in the last two books and focused on the characters people want to read about. Writing just to write is the same thing as someone talking to hear themselves talk.  Most people don't care what you are saying at that point.  I am very disappointed in these last two books.  I heard that this was originally supposed to be a trilogy; it probably should have stayed that way.  I would really like to get my money back for these last two books.

I despise huge cliffhangers! I mean I get it- the book was free and she wants you to buy the subsequent books but COME ON. And without a publish date to even look forward to I will probably forget about the sequel and never read it.

Wow! I am so aggravated that I didn't read the reviews prior to reading this book. This is an incomplete book! A skillfully crafted book should stand alone and leave you longing for a sequel...but this is something entirely different. The plot just begins to "thicken" when the book ends abruptly with no resolution. I am beyond annoyed. Why didn't the author just delay publishing until she had a complete manuscript? This is one of the trends I have have been seeing lately with "indie" authors that will perhaps influence my desire to give them a chance in the future.

I dislike a book that leaves you hanging and forces you to read the next in the series to conclude.  It is an interesting read but because I don't like having to buy another, I'm done.  Who knows how many books there will be?  At the end of this one we don't even know who the enemy is!

There was no ending!  There should at least be an explanation!  IF the explanation is there, i missed it and i read every word.  WHY should have been answered.

It answered a lot of questions, but the series is running so long that I am losing interest. New twists in this edition could open the door for 25 more books. Yuck! Time to close off this story!

Waiting to read next books before I write a fully critiqued review. I really hate cliff hangers. A b c
