Title: I don't get it
Product review: I first tried to read this mess 10 years ago. After Tom, starving to death in a frozen landscape, has hot porn-star sex with a mystery woman in the woods, I threw it away as garbage.Then, my otherwise well-read parents kept telling me about how they just loved this book, and I read about how Pillars is Follett's masterpiece, etc. So I picked it up and made it half way through this time. Yuck.One night I put it down and picked up Bernard Cornwell's "Agincourt" and re-discoverd why I love reading and historical fiction. There was more nuance and joy in the first 10 pages than all of Pillars. Here is the ultimate problem with Pillars: there is no humor. It is a relentless series of calamities and tragedy borne by unhappy, humorless victims.Not worth reading.
