Helpful Score: 4

I was prompted to read the book by a religious book critic who stated it's a wonderful read to learn about the building of great cathedrals. Though I admit I learned about some architectural and carpentry techniques, the immorality and rape that spawned revenge throughout the book took a lot away from the beautiful story of getting the cathedral built. I enjoyed more learning about
the running of monasteries in the Middle Ages and the feudal battles that raged when the royal line was in question. A looooong
book and I put it down many times and took a few days off from it to read other things.
