Advantages: Totally absorbing. Disadvantages: The size of the book makes your arm ache!
is KenFollett? I?ve no idea, but he is a man who intrigues me. While he writes about sex and violence with apparent abandon, he is obviously someone with a huge sense of justice. Some of the bad people in his books are truly shocking, while his good characters make you feel there is still hope for the human race. He also creates intelligent and feisty women who make an impact on their world at a time when women were seen as inferior to men and treated as goods and chattels. I like to think that maybe there truly were a few ?Follett women? around at this time.
One thing is for sure ? it makes you truly thankful not to have lived in the 14th century! ...
Advantages: Totally absorbing, informative, a bit scary. Disadvantages: you will resent anyone who dares to interrupt your reading
For many years, Pillars of the Earth was my all time favourite book. I have waded my way through 2 copies and need to buy a 3rd, basically because I have worn the books out reading them so often. I was delighted and a bit worried at the same time when I heard another book about Kingsbridge and the Cathedral was due to be released. I was desperate to read more but really did not want to be disappointed.
Was I disappointed? In a word, NO. This book is as brilliant as the 1st. It is really well researched and brings to life the people and hidden political agendas of the era. I loved the characters so much in Pillars of the Earth and didn't think I could feel the same way about new characters in the sequel but I did.
I was slightly worried in the first few pages that World was going to have the same basic plot as Pillars but ...
Advantages: Action and adventure, great scenes, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp Disadvantages: A bit long
Pirates of the Caribbean at Worldend is the third movie in the Pirates trilogy. It follows the crew of the Black Pearl (the Pirate ship) rescuing Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' locker and then preparing to fight the East Indian Trading Company who are intent on extinguishing piracy. I'm not going to spoil the rest of the plot/movie for you as I believe you should see it for yourself so I will just now review the rest of the DVD and what I thought of the film/films.
At the box office it was actually the most successful film of 2007 and is the second most successful film in the series. I think even if action and adventure films aren't for you (they aren't my most favourite) this would still be a film you like as it is very funny in places, the sets are brilliant and the action really is very well choreographed. My one complaint with it ...
