Title: Could have been so much better!
Product review: I had read this book a long time ago and purchased it so I could read it again. I was so disappointed this time around. I personally thought the sex scenes were really drawn out and even unnecessary. I realize that some of them were part of the plot, but they certainly didn't need to be that long and descriptive. For me, they detracted from the rest of the book.Other than that complaint, the book was an OK read. The story was magnificent -- how much egos can clash in medieval England on the way to building a gigantic cathedral. It wasn't very artfully written . . . the rich storytelling just didn't seem to be there for me, but it did an OK job relating the plot. The fact that the plotline was so well-thought-out was the saving feature of this book. Everything makes sense, and the plot is good, but the writing just wasn't all that impressive.
