Title: Why all the fuss?
Product review: I don't understand the rave reviews for this novel. Sure it was readable, but so are the Sunday comics. The characters were one-dimensional and really just completely uninteresting. Good guys: Jack, Prior Phillip, Builder Tom, Ellen, and Aliena. Bad guys: William, Bishop Waleran, William's mommy and daddy, Alred. Here's the plot: Bad guys win, good guys win a little until bad guys do something really bad, and then good guys win in the end. He described church architecture a lot, I suppose that's what got everyone so excited? Nothing that special, especially not for 970 pages.After reading these reviews I was expecting something on a grand sweeping scale like Uris's Trinity. But comparing the two is like comparing an All-star to a high schooler.
