Stonehenge: 2000 B.C. Audiobook

" Interesting time period, but I didn't like this book as much as the rest of Bernard Cornwell's I have read. "

" I found this book to be rather dull and too simply written. I was interested in the story enough to push my way (slowly) through the book. I just couldn't buy into most of the characters. "

" Ok I was bored stiff in spots. You can over do explaining things. "

" A little to techy for me......... "

" This isn't great, but bizarrely I quite enjoyed it "

" like the story of his Arthur books. Getting the Gods to come back. Also cheating wife the same. "

" Boo. A bad book. The subject of Stonehenge has enough mystery as to why it was built and by whom to allow anybody to take a stab at it. Its all theoretical, so why not make something up thats interesting. Well, here it is not that interesting. The basic facts about Stonehenge are much more interesting than the drama presented here. This book was what would have happened if Stonehenge was built as the set of a soap opera. The characters are thin, and seem to be guessing as to what is going on around them. If you are going to set people in a cold, savage world where human sacrifice is part of day to day life, you have got to make those people relatable in some way. And I don't know where this dude came up with the names for the characters and there gods, but they sounded like something out of a bad fantasy game. Of all the names that early man had for the sun god, you don't need to go making one up as bad as Slaol. Some historical context, please! Read 'Hengeworld' by Mike Pitt before you read this jive. "

" I'm fascinated with stonehenge and found this book very interesting. "

" I'm a huge fan of Cornwell's novels. This one was enjoyable, but perhaps a bit slower to get started into than most of his novels? I stopped reading it for a few weeks...typically I find his novels to page turners that I can't put down. "

" A good read with some excellent speculation on methods and incentives of the proposed builders. Not for the faint of heart or squeamish! "

" Basic test [yes/no:]: Would I recommend you read this book or not. Was it worth the few hours spent reading it? Am I pleased that I spent the time reading it? --- Yes --- "

" Easily the best book I have read to date! "

" One of the few Cornwell I didn't like. The priest character was just too much for me. "

" A fictional account on the creation of Stonehenge, which makes the fears and beliefs and even madness, come alive. "

" Listened to this on my phone. The voice of the reader made the book hard to listen to. Interesting story but not my genre. "

" Interesting but dragged and plot twists I didn't totally believe "

" I know this book is really silly, but it is well researched and actually quite clever. Mostly it's a fabulously imaginative tale that really wrapped me in with its melodramatic narrative. "

" Stonehenge is extemely interesting and Cornwell does a very good job of describing what may have actually happened. Very exciting book and the author is not afraid of letting the reader be upset with tragedy in the main character's lives. Good read but a little too much pagan ideology for me. "

" I have to put this away for awhile. A little too gripping for me at this time - not quite as escapist as I'd hoped. I'll try again later. The descriptions are amazing, though. "

" This book sucks!! Repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. Always moving rocks and sawing off each others heads. "

" Wow. Well, this is interesting, because it is an amazing book, but it's quite warped. Very warped actually. My advice: Don't read if you are easily freaked out. "

" I was really into it when I was forced to quit. Cornwell narrative was so strong that I really let myself feel the character's pain. I hope to go back and finish someday, when I'm certain I won't have another panic attack. "

" fair,different, didn't care for it "

" Good use of the historical and archaeological background in the writing of this book. Was a bit of a slow read at times though "

" I'm a huge fan of Cornwell's novels. This one was enjoyable, but perhaps a bit slower to get started into than most of his novels? I stopped reading it for a few weeks...typically I find his novels to page turners that I can't put down. "

" The book portrays the Bronze Age as full of brutality, pain, and superstition. I know life in the Bronze Age was harsh, but there must have been decent people who had lives of joy, as well as of pain. "

" Boring and repetitive. Not Cornwell's usual fine work. "

" Cornwell has created an interesting explanation for the creation of one of Earth's great mysteries. The characters are interesting and grow throughout the book. "

" whhhaaat happened to BCs writing...or does he always write like this? give me a better Cornwell book, please... "

" Pretty Good Book. I would read it again. "

" Ritual and murder four thousand years ago. "

" Probably better if I had read the book myself rather than listened to the audiobook, which was horribly read. Still, if there's going to be that much gore, I want to feel more invested in the characters. "

" "Stonehenge" started a bit slowly, but wholly captured my attention after about 100 pages. Well written, complex and evolving characters, interesting description how Stonehenge might have been built. Recommended for anyone who likes historical fiction. "

" Started reading it with great expectations after reading the Sharpe Series, but was dissapointed as it didnt really seem to move. The story was slow and I found it hard to follow or get involved. "

" Blood and human sacrifice in pre-Celtic Britain. "

" There is very little on can say about one of the best books you've EVER READ. "

" Despite being a huge Bernard Cornwell fan Sadly, I did n't immediately become hooked into this story of Iron Age Britain. although this tale of sibling rivalry moved on at a cranking pace I found the characters less than engaging. "

" The book portrays the Bronze Age as full of brutality, pain, and superstition. I know life in the Bronze Age was harsh, but there must have been decent people who had lives of joy, as well as of pain. "

" A little hard to get into but I loved the story around Stonehenge. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was so different from anything I've ever read before. I wasn't expecting so much depth of thought to be put into this one. Great read. Very interesting. "

" I really couldn't get on with this book I just found it uninteresting and I don't know why it had the look of being a book I would really enjoy but I just didn't. "

" A fictional account on the creation of Stonehenge, which makes the fears and beliefs and even madness, come alive. "

" took forever to slog through this lemon "

" This rates as one of my all time favourite novels. Amazing depiction of ancient Britain. "

" Found it in a charity shop so I bought it. Not one of his best "

" Incredibly interesting take on the creation of Stonehenge. There is some liberties taken with the mentality and behavior of the Stone Age protagonist, but in the end it makes for a fascinating read. "

" An interesting book. It was at times overwhelming because of all the characters and their names which were a little confusing at times to keep straight. Otherwise an nice peak at what we shall never know about one of the enduring and most mysterious monuments on earth. "

" An interesting take on the mystery, that will remain always unresolved. "

" Listened to this on my phone. The voice of the reader made the book hard to listen to. Interesting story but not my genre. "

" My least favourite of all the Cornwell books I have read (I have read all of the Sharpe books). The entire book for me consisted of moving large stones around, with little else of interest. "

" A great read with interesting characters and subplots. "

" Not a great novel, with clumsy writing, forgettable characters, and scenes talen right out of 'Braveheart.' Can not recommend it. "

" Maybe I am just not in the mood for this type of book but it went into pagan rituals, etc in alittle more detail than I want to deal with right now. I may get back to it, I may not. Only the future can tell. "
