is "the pillars of the earth" a good book to choose for an english presentation? if not what do you suggest?
my english teacher told the class that there is gonna be an english presentation in the end of the semester that will be worth 20% of our mark!!!!! and we have to tell him the name of the book that we are gonna read on monday!!!!! he told us that the book that we choose should either be one of Oprah's picks or a book that has a penguin sign on it!!!!! so i was wondering is "the pillars of the earth" a good choice or do you suggest something else?if so, which book do you recommend? oh and btw i'm in grade 11.
-thank you
I think it is an excellent choice. It is a very good book. I read it this summer and enjoyed it immensely.
The book traces the development of Gothic Architecture out of the preceding Romanesque Architecture and the fortunes of the Kingsbridge priory against the backdrop of actual historical events of the time. Although Kingsbridge is the name of an actual English town, the Kingsbridge in the novel is actually a fictional location representative of a typical market town of the time.
Until this novel was published, Follett had previously been known for writing in the thriller genre. The Pillars of the Earth became Follett's best-selling work.
The book was listed #33 on the BBC's Big Read, a 2003 survey with the goal of finding the "Nation's Best-loved Book." The book was also selected for Oprah's Book Club in 2007.
A sequel, titled World Without End, was released in October of 2007.
