The First Step
Ken Follet's work, "Pillars of the Earth" is an epic tale which I have read through at least a dozen times. Through each read characters came to life in a new way, emphasizing Follet's portrayal of the cyclical path we all follow and the paths that have never been trodden.

From my first read through "Pillars of the Almighty" I was immediately aware of new dimensions of Follet's epic that I had never thought to contemplate. The beauty captured by Fitzgerald's camera will give any fan of Follet a new perspective on a tale they know well. For those who have not yet read "Pillars of the Earth", this book is the introduction and guide into Tom and Jack's world of 12th century England that any fan of history, architecture or art is sure to treasure.

picture book
There are alot of pictures of Cathedrals but I would have liked a description next to the picture. There are descriptions at the end of the book which I didn't find until I had finished.

Some where it was mentioned that it would be good to read this before reading Pillars of the Earth. That probably is true. However I read Pillars of the Earth first so this was a repeat for me, therefore I was only mildly interested in this book.
