"'Aliena felt an affinity for Ellen: they were both oddities, women who did not fit into the mold.' - Ken Follett

I just watched The Pillars of the Earth on Starmovies. The book was superb but the series was a bit disappointing. I didn't like the casting. The woman who plays Aliena is not that beautiful enough and I expected Tom Builder to be more brave and a little handsome looking and what did they do to Ellen? She's not exactly Ellen! And they changed a lot of scenes too which is annoying really. But still, it's good and you'll still want to finish it, cin cin!
