I have not read the book (but will borrow it soon!) so I have no comparisons to make. As a miniseries I thought it was quite good and entertaining. The White Ship incident in early English history had significant consequences. Great premise for Follett's story. The story centers around a builder in the 1100s. He aspires to build a great cathedral. Story is interlaced with royal rivalry, political ambitions and church related intrigue--basic medieval setting. There were 8 episodes about 45 minutes each. I thought it was good and entertaining, the construction aspect was interesting. Got a bit soap opera-ish at times with love relations and personal ambitions, but overall good, would be great viewing for a long weekend and you need something long to keep you entertained.
