  "Captivating, entertaining, intriguing while thought provoking." by Angeletti (see profile) 04/16/08

Loved the author's style. Hard to put down.

 
  "GREAT FUN READ" by ducci (see profile) 04/19/08

Keeps you reading right until the very end. I had a hard time putting this one down. Is a great book for discussion. Questions at the end of book are helpful to get the discussion going. Will look forward to reading some of Wood's other books.

 
  "slow to start up, dense style of writing with lots of details" by ellentambo (see profile) 05/27/08

I took a long time to get into the book, and even then it did not grab me. The first section that deals with a group of prehistoric "people" (?ape men and women?) was very difficult to read. Who wants to read about a bunch of people acting like animals (or animals sort of like people, but pooping, copulating, and killing each other)?

I don't think this would be especially good for book clubs.

 
  "not super. Not really a good book club choice" by beckylord (see profile) 07/11/08

 
  "The book is divided into historically-based sections - like James Michener did in his books. Some sections were more interesting than others. If you're a Michener fan this will be a disappointment." by kj1948 (see profile) 09/22/08

 
  "A stone travelling through time with women" by mgsiragusa (see profile) 11/07/08

I thought this was an excellent discussion book; so many different opinions!!!

 
  "Good choice - long though" by LynnL716 (see profile) 01/10/12

My only complaint was the length. I wasn't able to fit it all in-- this is a great book though and well worth the read!
