If the scene where Maud wakes up and hears the artillery on the Somme all the way from southern England is true to history that’s fucking insane.

This book is longer than life. I am glad that Lev’s douchey ways caught up to him finally.

Everyone In This Book: "The war's no big deal, it'll be over in a couple months."

Obnoxious 21st Century Guy With The Benefit Of Hindsight: "Yeaaaahhhhh, about that..."

This is already so much better than my experience with Pillars of the Earth it's making me want to maybe try that one again. Also, I think Follett's original title of Nobles Be Fuckin' was a little more original than the one he settled on.
