15. Returned "Stonehenge" by Bernard Cornwell to my library unfinished.

Thanks for the thread, hermetic.

I'm a fan of Cornwell's Saxon series and the Excalibur series, but this book never caught my interest. About halfway through, I returned it to the library. As one reviewer put it, "The book doesn't connect. For one thing it lacks the humor which leavens the drama and gore of his Saxon series."

I'm waiting for an inter-library loan to come in (hopefully very soon).
