review 1: This book was a guess, and it turned out to be so much more than an average good guess.I had never expected a non-fiction book to be entrancing, or remotely page-turning-like, but this one defenitely was.Did you know that when the Celts started their rituals among the towering trilithons of Stonehenge, the monument was already ancient too them? Neither did I.If you are interested in the history of Britain before the Anglo-Saxons invaded the country (yelling "hwaet" and hurling axes) this is the book you need.
review 2: A great read. It really made me think about how Britain was shaped. Some elements of it made me a bit panicky - I don't like the subject of death and a book concerned about centuries and centuries of ancestors, burials, bones and killings didn't
... more make for easy bedtime reading for me. That aside, I was fascinated to learn more about ice age Britain, a tsunami that wiped out most of the island's inhabitants, the mystery behind Stonehenge and so much more. less
