The Pillars of the Earth (Final) Many things more happen in the story, but in summation the cathedral is finished. As for my opinion of the book, I just loved it. I began to reading it because it was a recommendation of someone who knew about my fascination with historical books. I started reading it in November, when by chance I found it at the library. My copy wasn’t very old but it was quite worn out, so I had to be very carefully not to deteriorate it even more. It took me more that usual to finish it , so after all those days that the book was in my house I ended up feeling attached to it and it was a little difficult for me to return it to the library. It was my first time reading something of that author and even though his style of writing is not really appealing to me, I have to admit that the plot was very catchy, especially because each event was connected with the next one, like a big mosaic in which everything was connected. A Tv Serie was created out of the book, and obviously I watched it. It was really good, especially due to the actor who portrayed the prior Phillip (the same actor who played the role of Mr. Darcy in “Pride and Prejudice”). At first, I was a little bit disappointed when I realized that the main character was a Priest but I ended up loving that character, I think that the reason why I like it so much is because it doesn’t seem so impossible to believe. I mean, throughout history there have been many characters like him, real people with strong beliefs and determination and with a sense of duty beyond normal. I also loved that the plot was build about the construction of a cathedral, because is a topic that has always interested me, not only because of their beauty but also because all the organization and the mystery behind them (probably the book “The Da Vincy Code” influenced me in this point) Sadly, that construction fever didn’t arrive up to my country. In the cologne period we were only a captaincy, forgotten in the end of the world and so that nothing was constructed here. There is nothing else to say, it s a superb book, that will remain in my heart forever.
