At last, I’ve finished that blasted book, “Stonehenge” and no, I’m deliberately
not linking to it because it was dreadful. And I wouldn’t want to be blamed for you getting stuck in it.
I don’t believe I’ve ever let a book ‘beat’ me, but this one came damned close – having started in August and having just finished.
I learned nothing and disbelieved just about every concept within the novel.
Whenever anyone starts repeating the rhetorical question “Y’know?” in conversation, after the third time I start to mentally count the usage and I almost wished I’d done the same for the author’s repetition of the word “heartbeat”, to describe a short period of time.
Aaargghh.
There was even consideration of someone “marrying” – in a novel allegedly describing events in 2000 B.C?
Are there any historians out there who would be prepared to support the idea of that happening, pre-Christianity?
Please – suggest anything that I could read to wash this junk out of my brain …
