I, like most, complain/rant about the changes made from book to film or TV series. However I must say I can't think of any I've ever seen that strayed/changed so much as the TV series "Pillars of earth".
It's a great book, with so much material yet there is so much changed / added that it's jaw-dropping. It's almost like it's based on a different book...

agreed. enjoyable book. unnecessarily reworked miniseries. both the beginning and the end of the film sucked ass. treat the audience like idiots.

I blame it all on the guy they got to play Jack. There's just something icky about him.

there are worse things to watch, but i found it disappointing after the book. too manipulative of my emotions.

I agree! I had to read that book in high-school and I was so proud of myself... "look at this HUGE book I read" and it was a great read. Series was awesome too.
Ken Follett can spin a good yarn - I just finished two books by him "Fall of Giants" and "Winter of the World" and they were both wonderful.
