Deal, I'll order the book today.
Follett's book {"Pillars of the Earth") is listed on some lists as one of the best ten books ever written --- google Follett + Newsweek. That is where I got the information.

Does one lasting book make a writer great? Personally I'll vote for writers who churn out good/excellent books over a sustained period of time.
D J Salinger? I'll wait and see what he's been writing and not publishing before I'll label him great based solely on
Catcher.
Harper Lee wrote a great book. That doesn't in my mind make her a great writer.
Like I said,
Pillers really impressed me. But
The Third Twin sure isn't a book that makes me want to read Follett.
