Stonehenge: A Novel of 2000 BC: A Novel of 2000 BC Audiobook

" Great Book. Realistic prehistory comes to life. Entertaining yet deep on many levels. "

" I read this book a long time ago and I remember it starting off pretty slow but of course you've got to give a book a chance. I'm glad I gave this one a chance because now when I look at Stonehenge this story is always in the back of my mind. I like the ideas Mr. Cornwell brings at how those rocks got there. I can't wait to find out all of life's mystery's when I die. "

" Intrigue, betrayal and above all: love. Alchemy perfect for an epic! One of the best novels of Cornwell. :D "

" 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. "

" This is a good story, well written, and fun to read. It is not intended to be history, for there is no history available. Stonehenge just invites imaginings and possibilities and Cornwell has done a creative job of writing his imaginings. I hope to read more of his work. "

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

" I really like historical fiction especially those that follow one person through their life and trials. This is great conjecture on why and how Stonehenge was built-the tribes and gods that were involved. "

" A fantastic story of Stonehenge filled with love, betrayal, and perseverance. While almost completely fiction Bernard Cornwell creates a captivating plot which makes you believe you are reading a true first person account of the events which unfold. This is a must read for everyone. "

" Hard to read at times but a good story. Lots of details about a time that we have little knowledge about. Worth the read but can get repetitive at times "

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

" 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. "

" ok. i dont think it was as bad as some reviews. fictional theory on the building of stonehenge. i have no idea on the validity of the research of the time, but it sounded pretty primitive and plausible. "

" Thought it was really interesting historical fiction, full of politics and intrigue. It is pretty fast-paced and an easy read. "

" BOT, Decent story, but a little too long "

" I really enjoyed reading Bernard Cornwell's harrowing tale of life in and around Stonehenge, two thousand years BC. The struggle for survival, the daily grind within the various tribes came to life in the pages of this book... "

" 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. "

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

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

" Excellent. Bit confusing until you grab hold of it, but well worth it. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

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

" Fictionalized account of the building of the famous landmark. "

" An audiobook read by George Guidell. The lives of tribes at Stonehenge 4,000 years ago. NOT my cup of tea. Just couldn't get past all the bloodshed and ritual child sacrifices. Probably happened, but I did not want to read about it. "

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

" If you've ever wondered who built stonehenge and why it was built - read Bernard Cornwell's offering of Stonehenge. Read this if you enjoyed 'Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett. "

" I haven't exactly finished this but I am struggling and have decided 3/4 is enough and its not worth carrying on with just to say I have read all of it- its like trying to run in very cold treacle "

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

" decent fiction, but there is little or no detail as to how Cornwell thinks Stonehenge was actually built. Lots of gloss-over. For 400 +/- pages, it seems a little empty. "

" I really enjoyed reading Bernard Cornwell's harrowing tale of life in and around Stonehenge, two thousand years BC. The struggle for survival, the daily grind within the various tribes came to life in the pages of this book... "
