i've read the book a fews years ago..  memang menarik, for me worth buying.. tapi depends on your taste jugak..  memang banyak pasal architecture of church, from the earliest design yang tak ada tingkap sampai la ke design yang moden, yang partly ambik idea dari architecture masjid..  cerita pasal family and ada love story jugak..

the architecture part yg buat me teruja in the first place..plus i love historical novel

superb! buku ni published in 1989. i'm 20 years too late in reading it.

basically about Prior Philip (a monk) yg nak buat cathedral di sebuah tempat bernama Kingsbridge. Tetapi dia menghadapi berbagai2 dugaan, dari segi financial and mostly dari musuh ketatnya Bishop Waleran Bigod.

Another villain is William Hamleigh. Jahat dan pendengki. Oleh kerana ada perebutan takhta, banyak treachery, di mana mereka kerap bertukar sokongan kepada 'the real king' utk kepentingan peribadi.

Pembinaan cathedral ni mostly by Tom Builder dan anak tirinya Jack. Ada kisah cinta antara Jack dgn Aliena musuh ketat William, tapi pun banyak halangan.

Banayak le architectural jargon dlm buku ni. Mostly yg org tak pakai pun (kat m'sia la). Org dulu2 tak ada structural engineer so Tom Builder ni la contractor, architect and engineer.

Sekarang ni kat UK tengah shooting 8 part mini series. I like it that the actors casted are exactly what I imagined how they should llook like. Boleh tengok kat Ken Follet's website.

dah baca lamaaaaa dulu...masa baru lepas grad dulu..sekitar 97/98..memandangkan aku study ada kena ngena dgn architecture, so...aku rasa waktu tu novel ni sgt relevan ngan apa aku belajar...

dah tak ingat dah isi dia wlupun novel ni ada kat umah ..
(tp tetiba rasa nak baca pulak bila nampak thread nih)

kepada soalan tuan rumah...novel ni mmg worth buying! must have...
