review 1: It took a little to get into, but once I was in, I was absolutely hooked. It literally took me over half the book to realize it was an alternate-history. I found the story to be much deeper than I expected and surprisingly human. More than just an alternate look at paleo-lithic Europe, it was very much a story about human emotions and how they can tear people apart and bring them together. It sticks with you once you close the book.And on a totally separate note, I loved the archaeology the author used as a starting point for the story. Absolutely fascinating and well documented!
review 2: I bought this book on amazon because "Stone Spring" was the only fiction book that came up when I searched on "Doggerland", one of my new interests. It was written by S... moretephen Baxter, whom I considered a fantasy/science fiction author. But I would say it's an historical novel, set in a land that really did exist about 7,000 years ago. This novel is set in an area that is now under the North sea in Europe. 7000 years ago the sea level of the earth was hundreds of feet lower, and supported a large human population. I really enjoyed Baxter's writing style and the plot was engaging. So much so, I order the second of the series "Bronze Summer" which I'm reading now. less
