Customer Reviews

Ken's book, like the cathedrals of which he writes, occasionally works as inspiration, but most often the work of a mortal, subject to imperfections in the design and implementation. The political intrigue, plotting, devious, mental and verbal clashes between the first of Philip and his opponent were great, and the Alien character stole the show, but I felt disappointed in the author's treatment of Tom, and especially Martha. death of Alfred was also conceived as a means approximationThe desired result for William, in conjunction with the bishop, the final revelation of Jack's past and other meetings in the history of various random texture, often tortuous course. Ellen first (only) meeting with Jack was absurd, and has had the opposite effect, less what Mr. Follent expected, with frequent use and often divergent Mr. Follent sex throughout the book from another epic tale of suffering and of triumph, survival and death, destruction and reconstruction, andPolitics and religion are fighting it out. Worth reading? Yes! A masterpiece of literature? Resounding NO.
