LitChat: World Without End by Ken Follett

[MissPixieLulu]

Hi Julia, I really highly recommend you to read 'The Pillars of the Earth'. The mini series was great but you get SO much more out of the novel (because naturally they had to cut out alot of the plot for the series). And yes the reviews are right, 'The Pillars of the Earth' is better than 'World Without End', but having said that, I'm HIGHLY anticipating the release of the series :D

[JDherts]

World Without End is currently being filmed as a short mini series should be on tv early 2012

[h0neybunn69]

Do you have a book review channel? I really love your reviews

[anchyli]

what lipstick are you wearing? gorgeous! thanks for this lilchats, really helpful :)

[bozdemal]

I currently read Eat Pray and Love ... I just started, but I hope that it will not that boring :)

[Martusia1984]

Love Ken Follet, recommend especially The Key to Rebecca, steamy Egypt,II WW, Nelly dancers etc My fav of his! X

[copnite12342]

what type of make up did u put on here it looks v pretty.

[adellamae22]

Push not the river - EXCELLENT

[nanita2080]

A thousand splendid suns... its so good!

[MsCinone]

I've read the outlander series, and really enjoyed it. The first few books are utterly engrossing. I found the series became a bit long winded - I think there are 7 books with an upcoming 8th - but then again I packed them into just a few (3?) weeks. Maybe if I had spread them out a bit more it wouldn't have seemed so laborious towards the end. Nonetheless, the story is original, the historical perspective authentic and the characters are rich and appealing. Hope you enjoy! xo

[JayLilia]

Pillars of the Earth and World Without End are alongside The Lord of the Rings on my bookshelf as my all-time favorite novels. Keep them and read them every few years and see how your perspective and understanding of the characters and the Middle Ages matures. Amazon has the just released PotE miniseries on DVD.

[TheRomanianSoldier]

I like your eyes,I like your nose,i like your lips..u have a nice face!

[XBlackFlagX]

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett is also very good, it's the same sort of story of history being viewed by the eyes of different people whose stories all converge in some way, but it's happening during the prelude to WWI and the war proper.

[Caykeee]

Currently I'm reading The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn, in english (: My teacher is really proud of me, because I read it in english xD

[tbloodawesome]

I currently read "The Neverending Story", really good!

[TheThirdShift]

@tbloodawesome Oh I hope you enjoy it! One of my fav books of all time :)

[tbloodawesome]

@TheThirdShift Mine too! I also like the film, although I was kind of upset that they left out lots of the good scenes.

[barefootfiona]

Pillars of the Earth was one of the first 'grown-up' books I read, and I remember it blowing me away. To those who haven't seen the mini-series, I highly recommend it, even if it is very long. But I'm like you in that I don't like reading books of movies I've seen. I haven't read World Without End, but maybe I will now.

I've been finding it quite hard to get the time to read recently since I've been workin as an pair for a woman who doesn't get the concept of free time. But I'm about to try!

[erdal0]

im reading internal family systems. It is revolutionary

[iboney]

Loved World Without End and currently reading Fall of Giants next up will be Pillars of the Earth, the prequel to World Without End. I deliberately avoided the mini-series because I'd prefer to read the book first. I absolutely love this series and plan to reread them in sequence . . . Pillars (12th century), World (14th Century) then Fall (20th century/WWI). A definite recommend, especially for those who enjoy period pieces.

[LoveLaniLove]

Have you read "Inkheart" yet?

[MakeupRox74]

I loved Pillars of the Earth...I'm having a REALLY hard time getting through World Without End. :( I guess I was expecting a continuation of the first book.

[aqaq24]

Ooh. I love the Outlander series! Ive read all of them. They're a little lengthy but I love that and the ending is always worth it. I hope you enjoy them!

[BlushingVioletta]

Thank you for this review. Two years ago, I read The Pillars of the Earth and enjoyed it. However, I avoided World Without End because I read so many negative reviews on it. From what you describe about how the book focuses on 4 characters and their different paths, it reminds me a bit of The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, where she writes about the lives of I think 4 t women who take different paths in their lives growing up and then raising their daughters.

[maisondecouture]

helloo julia i highly recommend u to read the pilars. its an amazing book, i just loved it. the minisiries its nothing in comparison with the book. the details are the interesting part, the miniseries only tells the main events,,, the book tell everything and that makes you feel u are inside the book.

[TheAndo101]

Love your channel, very cool what your doing :)

[ShawanaChou]

The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. Great book. :) His other book is great as well.

[LetzMakeup]

Great books! I read them yonks ago but had forgotten that I'd read it until I saw the show on the TV. Have been wanting to find a new book to start into for a while now. Was thinking of getting "the girl with the dragon tattoo" book and the sequels.

[sappyxsorb]

I'm still reading the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes haha :) Every now and then I read one of the stories.

[TwilightoLi]

Ich selbst habe auch schon die Outlander Serie von Diana Gabaldon gelesen und kann sie nur empfehlen. Ich denke dass dir die Bücher auch gefallen werden. Die ersten zwei Bücher sind meine Favoriten.

[cowdenjr]

I just finished reading Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West....very interesting...you almost have to study it because it's very wordy and such....it's not my usual type of book but I'm glad I read it!

[xSasyx]

Ein Buchtipp für dich:

Du magst ja soweit ich das mitbekommen habe Endzeit Geschichten.

Vielleicht wäre der Roman "Metro 2033" von Dmitry Glukhovsky etwas für dich. Das ganze spielt in Russland.

Für Endzeit fans soll dieses Buch sehr zu empfehlen sein! Der zweite Band davon heisst "Metro 2034". Vielleicht ist es ja was für dich =)

[SketchNoobs]

Im currently reading :

Le journal d'Anne Frank (French)

It's pretty long to read but I love it :] !

[BlackRoseRocket]

Currently reading New Moan, Headstone City. I'm reading a couple others too but those are the one's i've read more of. I have a huge list of books I want to get!

[HarajukuGirl92]

Im reading "The Tattoo Chronicles" By Kat Von D, It's really good if you're a fan or like tattoos.

[EmmyZz80]

I have this book, but I haven't started it yet, coz it's really long and I'be been reading few more books which are amazing. I highly recommend "the gargoyle" by Andrew Davidson, "the thirteen tale" by Diane Setterfield and now I'm reading "her fearful symmetry" by Audrey Niffenegger :)

love your videos :))

[smileysarcasm]

I <3 KEN FOLLETT!!! OMG I love The Pillars of the Earth, and you should read The Third Twin. I loved it so much!

[mgparis]

I love your makeup + earrings + scarf in this video, very elegant!

I'm currently reading: My sister, my love by Joyce Carol Oates, which was inspired by the murder of JonBenet Ramsay

[bsouthernbelle]

Have you ever read any of James Rollins? If you like and adventrue type book try the Sigma Series by him. But anything by him is a good read. I will definetly check out the one you reviewed.

[tepajdawb]

will defintiely have to check out these books and the tv series.

you should definitely check out diana gabaldon's books. although i haven't read all of them, outlander is definitely one of my top favorite books i've read over the years. i started book two but never got through it. i actually have all the books, i just need to not get into other series of books and just focus on finishing this series - lol.

currently, i am reading c.l. wilson's tairen soul series. so far so good.

[munkyjam91]

ommmgggg i looooove Pillars!!!!!seriously, the story is absolutely amazing! esp for being set in 1120 ad... awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sbrkitty]

Hi, I've read both books and I have really enjoyed them. The stories are just amazing, and I couldn't put them down. Just wanted to say thank you for this video too. :)

[silgava]

did you finish reading the Hunger Games books?? what did you think of the end????

[VSophiaV]

can you do a tutorial for this look?

[zsofiful]

I'm reading Rabbit Is Rich by John Updike, it's the third book in his Rabbit series. They're very good I think.

[jubidzz]

Austrian writer Joseph Roth - "Radetzky March" (about the decline and fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). Marvelous book.

[applemoyorido]

omg i've seen those books before but i was turned off because the books are over 1,000 pages and i don't know if i would enjoy it.....are the books really good even though it's long??

[MakeuploverR85]

"How to find and Keep Lasting Love: Why Him? Why Her?" by Helen Fisher, Ph.D.

Its not a novel its an informative book on why we are pulled or driven towards certain people that make our hearts flutter... And why some people just never connect with us the same way...

[heykelleyx]

I wish I could be reading a good book right now, sadly university takes up all of my time.

[stefheartsyou]

Can you recommend any good love stories?

[MakeuploverR85]

@stefheartsyou: I like Jane Austen's work They are all love stories, I think its because in her life she only had one love who left her. So all her stories are about love, because its what she wanted in her life but couldn't have.... My most favorite is "Emma" you learn a lot from that book. It focuses in on other character's life in the book but Emma is the main influence. She considers her self as the "match maker" for everyone in her town, yet she doesn't want love, but ends up finding it.

[ThePamTamTam]

The Bookthief is by Markus Zusak - and I loved it! although I prefered his first book.

[rachrooza]

im currently reading: prida and prejudice :)

[Nutella1906]

Ken Follett wird mit doppel L und doppel T geschrieben ;)

[cincillotta]

Hi Julia!I just wanted to ask you if you could suggest me a bunch of books written in german or by german authors because I'm an italian student and one of the languages I'm studying is german!

thank you so much!!!

[MissChievous]

@cincillotta Herman Hesse is a classic German author, I loved "Steppenwolf"

[ShimmerSF]

I love Ken Follett - his books are great

[sharkie78]

sounds like an interesting story... love the colors of your scarf!!~ ^_^

[Numaness]

Have you read Labyrinthe by Kate Mosse? That is a very good read, would recommend it!

[YuliaRamos]

0:08 - 0:11 you have the funniest accent XDDDD

[Sofia82rs]

The book is so much better than the tv-series, I am glad I read it in advance, otherwise it would have ruined it for me as well! I also read World Without End and I agree Pillars of The Earth is better. WWE is just like TPTE but with different characters and situations(still very similar to TPTE), which to me makes it a bit predictable and less interesting if you've read the first one.

[shebabe03]

Do you have a fav website you use to review books and what not?

[TheThirdShift]

@shebabe03 I usually just read reviews on Amazon but I rarely write reviews.

[ShimmerSF]

@shebabe03 check out TheBookBlog on youtube

[TheGlossy91]

Hey Julia, ich liebe Ken Follett. Habe schon fast alle Bücher von ihm gelesen.

Finde Die Säulen der Erde auch besser als World without end (Die Tore der Welt auf Deutsch ;) )

Im deutschen Fernsehen kommt Die Säulen der Erde ab 15.11 auf Sat1. Bin schon richtig gespannt. Ich glaube aber, dass der Film nicht an das Buch rankommt.

Liebe Grüße aus Lörrach, Germany :)

[lisduperou]

I really recommend the Outlander-Series. It is amazing!

[bekoff713]

I absolutely love the Outlander series. It has everything!

[littlebelgianfreak]

I highly recommend the Book Thief, it's brilliant, you'll love it! Thanks for the book tips, you really made me want to read the Pillars of the Earth and World Without End.

[FrozenKizz]

Welchen Lippenstift trägst du?

[Karol35]

very good read, enjoyed both books! :)

[Leigh9289]

If you are into historical fiction, you should definitely check out philippa gregory's books. She wrote the other bolelyn girl but she has so many more great books that take place before and after that one. Great author and amazing books.

[rockferryluv66]

I've always wanted to read some books by Ken Follett but I never got around to doing it. I suppose, however, that I'll have to buy a few next time I stop by the bookstore since your recommendations always suit my fancy. (: The Book Thief is a wonderful book and Markus Zusak's other works are just as great!

I'm re-reading The Wheel of Times series by the late, great Robert Jordan. The books never cease to please each time I read them over. :]

[MYTKA82]

Thank you for the recommendation!!! I love this kind of videos. xOxO

[paintedbluestars]

Also I have read the ones that you are going to be reading and they are both good!

[paintedbluestars]

I just finished the hunger games trilogy and they were amazing. Been recommending them to everyone!

[scottishlover4]

school books uuhhhhh! Almost done with college and back to fun books!!!

[xodramaQueen16]

Ooh, I've wanted to read that!

I'm currently reading "The Kite Runner" though, and it's really, really good. 

[TheThirdShift]

@xodramaQueen16 I read that one too :)

[copnite12342]

@TheThirdShift Misschecvious whats ur opinion about the situation going on on michelepham's channel-a beautiful story? its insane over there i never saw so much dislike and love at the same time. phan claims she was trying to spread awarness upon malaria but the public think she was showing off her one million subscribers. what is ur opinion?

[marox79]

@TheThirdShift : It's one of my fave books. Haven't read Khaled Hosseini's 2nd book, though. Read both 'The Pillars of the Earth' and 'World Without End'.

I'm currently reading 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett, which I bought at the airport the day before yesterday and I'm already on page 100, lol.

[sharkie78]

@xodramaQueen16 that's a great read... i'm actually reading "a thousand splendid suns" right now...

[kikilandi1webkinz]

Im reading a book called the maguc theif :o lol

[FabulouslyxFab]

Just read The Book Thief this past summer. Loved it ! It was so moving, I had borrowed it from someone and ended up getting my own copy so that I could have it for my own collection.

[SidnacGlitz]

I am reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I hope to read the series I hear it's really good.

[sexysingingcupcake]

Stuck at home recovering from surgery so I read and look up your makeup tutorials. : ) Just finished an old classic Watership Down, a book about rabbits. Then I read October Moon, a young adult suspence book. It was a very easy read but entertaining. Now i'm reading Last Chance Saloon. I will have to buy some of the books you recommend.

[RussianEmpress]

I hated when the series ended, loved it!

[Odeliza]

world with out end was pretty good, but pillars of the earth is better the book ;) Ciao

[aazanova]

The Book Thief?? My sister is reading that should be very good

[glassanddiaphane]

"Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. An awsome book, long, but awsome.

[JooElement]

Do you have a tutorial for this makeup? You're eyes are so pretty :p

[JooElement]

I'm currently reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. :)

[TiimBurton]

The book thief is AMAZING! It´s by Markus Zusak :D

[dasprinzessal]

zzt lese ich alice im hungerland .. endlich mal ein buch über essstörungen,dass nicht einfach nur die selbe klichee scheisse wie immer wiedergibt.

[summerfey]

great video! I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the first time, and a book for my english class that is called 'Girlfriend in a coma'.

[duckduckgander]

I read Pillars of the Earth a few years ago and I loved it!! I also read World Without End.. They are both really good books. Even though these books are "old"( from the late 1980's) they are awesome! Glad you are spreading the word about this series.

[Ligadorra]

I loved both of them....I saw the series, but did not like the cast...idk I kinda imagined them differently on the book

[samofdasac]

I read the first few Outlander series books. And the first one is really good. But honestly I got kind of bored of them. A friend of mine who read them felt the same way. The first one is definitely worth the read though.

[falloutmnky]

actually if it teaches that the church was below the king its teaching you wrong... the church was absolutly undenyably the strongest influence.

[hisgermansunshine]

This is off topic but you are glowing in this tutorial. I love your hair and makeup and the color of your scarf, they go beautifully together!!

[xSasyx]

I currently reading "Water for elephants" by Sarah Gruen and "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher.

I love when you talk about books =)

[samanthatyler]

Liest du Bücher eigentlich auf Englisch oder Deutsch?

[TheThirdShift]

@samanthatyler Meistens auf Englisch aber Deutsche Bücher immer auf Deutsch.

[aparker2002]

I watched The Pillars of the Earth miniseries on Netflix, if you have it. Wonderful show and then I read the book. Listening to World Without End now and looking forward to getting further into it. Thanks for the encouraging review!!!

[GloriousNonsense]

I love when you talk about books and give book recommendations!

[yvettemadelaine]

I'm reading The Ask by Sam Lipsyte,it's brilliant, very funny.

I like more contemporary, postmodern literature- Lipsyte is very into precise witty description and doing clever things with dialog, so if you like that you'd like this.

That said, I also saw the Pillars of the Earth on tv here in Australia - llllloved it :)

[pleasewakeupflorence]

Dark hair really suits you.

And I'm currently reading "Life of Pi" and "Room".

[MissMeravigliosa]

Ich liebe die Bücher 'Die Säulen der Erde' und 'Die Pfeiler der Macht' den ersten Teil habe ich mit 14 gelesen und seitdem ungefähr 5 mal. Auch wenn es über 1000 Seiten sind habe ich es verschlungen und einer Fortsetzung entgegengefiebert. Man mag einfach nicht aufhören zu lesen wenn man ersteinmal in der Geschichte 'gefangen' ist. Obwohl ich normalerweise Thriller lese würde ich jedem uneingeschränkt empfehlen dieses Buch mindestens einmal im Leben zu lesen es ist eines der besten die ich kenne

[angeltearsofthenight]

I really recommend The Book Thief.

[lovepeacedirtysheets]

Oh you must read The Book Thief, it's wonderful! Truly one of the best books I've ever read.

[rotarydolphin]

no its romance, Its a vampire series but a really really good one!

[novellover1]

Das erste Buch von Diana Gabaldon habe ich auch gelesen. Leider nur bis zur Hälfte....ich mochte es einfach nicht. So viele haben es geliebt. Mal sehen wie es dir gefallen wird. =)

[gegeekay]

Right now Im reading "The Black Prism" by Brent Weeks and its really good. Its the first in the Lightbringer Series that he's publishing. But if you want an awesome read, try out his "The Night Angel Trilogy". Book 1 is The Way of Shadows, Book 2 is Shadow's Edge and Book 3 is Beyond the Shadows. Its a great fantasy trilogy. And another author I REALLY LOVE is Karen Chance. You have got to try her Cassandra Palmer series! Its about vampires, faeries, werewolves, magic users. Really great reads!

[flexibility07]

Säulen der Erde läuft glaube ich auch gerade in Deutschland als 4-Teiler... aber ich hab das Buch gelesen und glaube nicht, dass irgendeine Verfilmung jemals so schöne Bilder "zeichnen" kann wie ich in meinem Kopf damals! ;-)

[Knoedelpuffeliduftel]

kannst du auch ein buch auf deutsch empfehlen? (ich bin noch nicht so gut in englisch :/)

ich mag deine videos, sie sind so abwechslungsreich :) man hört dir so gerne zu x

[TheThirdShift]

@Knoedelpuffeliduftel Ich glaub dieses Buch gibts evtl auch auf DE übersetzt, guck mal auf amazon de

[Knoedelpuffeliduftel]

@TheThirdShift vielen dank :) das heißt ich müsste jetzt erst mit "die säulen der erde" anfangen um die ganze geschichte zu verstehen oder versteht man die fortsetzung auch ohne das erste buch gelesen zu haben? würde ich sonst etwas verpassen?

[TheThirdShift]

@Knoedelpuffeliduftel Ich würde mit Säulen der Erde anfangen, die Geschichte ist wirklich gut :)

[novellover1]

@Knoedelpuffeliduftel ja die Bücher müsste es auch auf Dt. geben. Heißen Tore der Welt oder so. Gibt doch einfach mal Ken Follet auf Amazon ein, dann kannst du alle seien Romane auf dt. sehen.

[Knoedelpuffeliduftel]

@novellover1 dankeschön :) hab ich gleich gemacht!

[TheVickyZone]

Gomorra!

[bokstav4]

I just read the hunger games and just started with catching fire. I'm OBSESSED. can. not. put. it. down. :O

[annosmoo]

I'm reading "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon". Highly recommend :)

[Ellan1995]

I think I'll check it out :)

[rotarydolphin]

you've got to read j.r. ward's black dagger brotherhood, best series I have ever read... You'll love it promise!

[TheThirdShift]

@rotarydolphin I've heard of that! Is it fantasy?

[novellover1]

@TheThirdShift oh nein die Black Dagger habe ich auch gelesen. Es sind quasi sehr, sehr kitschige Vampir/Liebesromane mit viel Erotik. Es ist wirklich kein hohes Niveau! Eher Trash-romane! Du kennst doch diese Liebesromane mit peinlichen Covers. Ja soetwas ist in der Art sind die Black Dagger auch!

[LucianaVIP1]

Products used, please! You look so delicate and gorgeous with these colors! looks like charcoal on the lids and soft rose right above the crease, creating warmth and dimension! Loved it!

[TheThirdShift]

@LucianaVIP1 Thanks! I have a tutorial coming up soon :)

[novellover1]

Ich lese gerade "The Road" auf Englisch. =) Dank deiner Empfehlung Bin aber erst auf Seite 30. Der Vater ist so süß zu seinem Sohn. Ich finde es toll, dass du Buchreviews macht! Wie fandest du eigentlich die anderen Teile der Hunger Games?! Ich fand leider Teil 2 enttäuschend. Bin trotzdem schon auf Band 3 gespannt. Ich liebe deine Videos! =)

[TheThirdShift]

@novellover1 Mir haben sie gefallen, ich war etwas entäuscht vom 3. Teil, ich fand die Autorin hätte mehr aus der Geschichte raus holen können. Aber im ganzen hat mit die Serie sehr gut gefallen.
