Book Review of The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children, Bk 1)

The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children, Bk 1)
fuzzydeadthing avatar reviewed on


This book was amazing! Who knew cave dwellers could be so riveting? I liked the lack of "realistic" (but also cynical) tragedy. Ayla perseveres, and is ultimately irrepressible. The other characters in this book will have to caring about them before the book ends, and the story itself will leave yu hungry for more. There are a few, wildly unrealistic items though, so I choose to give it a 4.5 instead of a full five, but overall, I feel blessed to have had my old History teacher recommend it to me so strongly, that even now, years later, I remembered and sought it out.
