Title: A potentially great story ruined by a superfluity of smut
Product review: While I did come to love prior Philip and was intrigued by the herculean task of building of a grand cathedral in Medieval England, I was distracted by the modern-day language, the simplistic writing and the shallowness of many of the central characters.In many ways, this was a good story. I believe that, in the right hands, it could even be a great one. But the author seemed to revel in raping, pillaging and groping his characters almost as much as he focused on the meat of the story. As a reader, I really didn't need to be reminded--repeatedly--how much body hair, booty or bustline a character possessed. I wanted more storyline and much less gratuitous smut.A disappointing read after reading such hallelujah-laden reviews.In a nutshell, me no like.
