Title: Great historical tale with nicely interwoven suspense
Product review: Have read several of Follett's books, my favorite is Eye of the Needle. He is very skilled at creating enough suspense throughout the book to keep you moving along. In this book he describes the plight of a poor 12th century family living on the edge, and intertwines this with the rise of a monk through the power structure of the church. He is also able to clearly explain the basics of what it took to get a cathedral built in this period in an interesting way. The characters are well-developed, and for the most part believable.
