4.0 out of 5 stars Ecstasy of Enigma, March 18, 2005

By 

Molly Bloom (Columbus, OH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Enigma of Stonehenge (Hardcover)

Fowles succeeds at underlining the joys of mystery. His writing is that of a pro. Good links to Yeats. Brilliance of book is in Barry Brukoff's photography. Grainy b&w portraits, not photos. He SAW the place full many an hour.

2.0 out of 5 stars More of a story than a nonfiction work, April 30, 2001

By 

Renee (MCC, Mississippi, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Enigma of Stonehenge (Hardcover)

I found that the book sheds little light on the mystery of Stonehenge. Because Fowles is a renowned novelist, I found that the book was more like a story than a source of information. For a nonfiction work, it lacked concrete support. Also, it says little about the actual Stonehenge. It says more about the other events of the time. The only reason it was added to other scholarly works about its subject was because it came from an author that lived near it and experienced the majestic power of Stonehenge during the time when it was most popular.
