A favorite of mine for decades.

Revisado: 01-13-23

This has always been one of my favorites tales. I notice that a small minority of reviewers are a bit squeamish with regard to the graphic portrayals of violence in this work, but these characters lived in a violent age. The story is set during a time when men fought wars such that one could feel the breath and smell the sweat of his enemy. The age was, and this story is, close up and personal. It's not terribly unlike Bernard Cornwall's Saxon Tales or Grail Quest sagas. I'm very fond of the heroes in this story. I especially like Tom Builder and Prior Phillip. I like to think that there are some people that are determined enough to resist abuses of power and the misfortunes that may happen in life. I enjoy complex story lines that weave in multiple characters and follow them over long periods of time. "Pillars" reminds me of Edward Rutherfurd's "Sarum" or Bernard Cornwell's "Stonehenge". There is a reason this is widely considered to be Follett's magnum opus and I certainly enjoy reading it and listening to it.

Excellent treatise on the subject.

I enjoyed Dave Hunt's systematic review of Calvinism and each of its underlying assumptions. This audiobook is well worth the investment of your time.

Disappointed with this book.

I think this book might be enjoyed more by charismatics than by members of mainline denominations. Besides, I'm very fond of "old time religion".

I wanted to like this. The narrators were each very good but the material was not.

Excellent.

Well reasoned. Presented in the thoughtful and informed manner that we expect from Lewis. It's interesting, how that after hearing several of Audible's Lewis offerings, that I have come to substitute Mr. Cosham's voice for that of the author himself.

Scott Brick is superb.

Revisado: 05-11-21

I wish the entire series had been read by Scott Brick. i love the Pendergast and Constance Green characters. I'm not fond of the Laura Hayward character.

Should have read Reviews About Chaptering.

Excellent Voice Talent
Excellent Content
Cannot navigate.
The cannon has 66 Books. Together the whole work is searched by Book, Chapter, and verse. That is not possible with this version. If the chaptering and organization is fixed, then I will gladly rescind my return and buy it again.

I wasn't keen on it for the first few minutes, but it lured me in and had me after the beginning.

Please include chapter numbers.

Revisado: 06-24-18

I would like to be able to navigate by chapter. Each chapter should be labeled. With the audiobook you get section 1 and a time duration, section two and the time duration, section 3 and a time duration. Not helpful and I am finding this on other audible purchases.
