Wondeful!

I knew Gil in high school (Bell Gardens). He drew a picture of me. I loved the drawing. I always knew he would go on to bigger heights. The book was definitely a proven fact. I hope he continues with more.

Frank Mc Court's amazing account of his early childhood in the slums of Limerick, Ireland is and will remain one of my favorite books of all times.

Pillars of the Earth is a story set in the 12th century England. A story of a mason and his family who's struggle through hard times is laid out in such a way it will grab your soul, and kick start your adrenaline. I found it to be Ken Follet's best work. His continuation novel: World Without End, is just as amazing. Each of Mr. Follet's novels are about 1,000 pages each, and I wanted more. I rate these two books with 10 stars each.
