Title: Bad guys against Good guys story
Product review: The two stars rating (instead of one) is owing to the impressive architectual descriptions of the cathedral. The historical descriptions were OK but the rest was truly disappointing. The plot repeats itself over and over again. The bad guys attempt to ruin the good guys. The good guys prevail. Then the bad guys come up with a new plot to ruin the good ones . And over and over again. The characters are all one dimensional. The language is too much 20th century for a 12th century novel. The sexual descriptions are at times almost vulgar. The romantic parts are truly shallow. It reminded me of a Daniel Steel novel. Not that I have anything against Daniel Steel, it just wasn't what I expected from "without doubt Ken Follet's masterpiece, and a story for all time" (from book backcover). Besides, if you want to write this kind of novel, you can settle with 300 pages top. Don't torment your readers with 1000 pages looking all the same.
