A review by christcore
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
medium-paced
3.5
An easy read, recommended by a student. Compelling plot that clips along at a decent pace with ample suspense and minimal perspective changes (yay!). Very questionable sex scenes, graphic sexual assault, and a whole paragraph dedicated to the shape and firmness of a character's breasts over 50 years. It's a good book, but the author is painfully male. Seems self-insert fantasy at times.
Graphic: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Violence
Moderate: Child abuse and Child death
