Just finished watching The Pillars of the Earth on Netflix, the episode The Work of Angels.
This was a great show.

Instant view is so great.

Now I will read the book.

1. The book is now one of my favorites...

...and I think many of us waited for about 9 years for the sequel...

...KNOWING that it would be a letdown after that magnificent first installment.

The sequel was so smoothly magnificent that it's as if he never stopped writing
the entire tale.

I would LOVE to see a film adaptation of it.

I am so glad Netflix had this show on instant view.

Really worth watching.

I will read the books.

3. I need to reread this book. Read it a looong time ago and loved it.
Need to read it and then read the sequel.

Need to see the movie, too.

Is it really good?

4. Yep.
Of course I hadn't read the books, or even heard of them.

I know the show left out some things, that always happens.

Netflix is free for two weeks, instant view is great.

I liked the show from the beginning, and I have a short attention span.

Now the books will fill in some gaps.

I think the book will be better for seeing the show.
