Book Reviews of The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children, Book One)
Book Review: Clan of the Cave Bear, a true classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Novels come and go, in our bookshelves and in our minds. But Clan of the Cave Bear is one with glue that sticks with us forever. I read this book 30 years ago when it was first published, and loved it. Shared it with my friends and family members at the time, who loved it, too. Now that I have a teenage granddaughter, I ordered it so she could enjoy it as well.
Jean Auel created a character set in the backdrop of the Neantherthal age who could be (should be) a hero and role model to young girls everywhere. Her journey takes the reader into the hearts and minds of people who lived so long ago, yet the human element of love resounds deeply.
Read this book! You won't be able to put it down. It is unlike anything you have ever read before.
Book Review: Favorit series of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
These books were made for people who love to dive into fictional characters. Auel is by no means lacking in detail and I'm not going to lie, there are places I found myself starting to skim, but it's truly amazing that the characters and detail are based on graves, tools, and general domestic items excavated from dig sites that Auel visited herself. Creb is quite literally based on remains found at a dig site that led archeologist to understand that these prehistoric people cared for one another even when they couldn't physically contribute. But Auel isn't just an in depth researcher, she's a dedicated story teller who brings to life characters she clearly loves. This is the first book of my favorite series of all time!Book Review: Amazing!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the best out of the whole series, though Valley of the Horses is a close second. The first time I read this book I was 14 and I instantly fell in love with it. In the past 15 years I've re-read it at least 5-6 times (pretty much every time Jean M. Auel released a new book I re-read Clan of the Cave Bear). You can read a synopsis of the book in the jacket so I won't go into the plot. All I will say is if you did a search for it you're at least mildly interested in reading it.....DO IT!!! You won't be disappointed. The other books in the series are good as well and you will most likely want to continue the series as each book ends a journey while at the same time starting a new one. An excellent read!Book Review: The Best (pre)Historical Fiction Book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up reading this book and the others. My paperback finally fell apart and I am trying to get them all in hard back. I have read a LOT of books and even after all the years, this is still one of my favorites. You can connect with this story in so many ways which says so much about the author's writing capabilities considering the time this story is set in. There are so many instances in these novels where you read something and just have to sit back and go "wow", and sometimes read it again. The author has such a way about explaining some of the things that we just take for granted in a way that will captivate you and leave you hungry for more!Book Review: Absolutely the Best in the Series
Summary: 5 Stars
First read this years ago and have reread it time after time. It is a fascinating story, always engrossing! One of those that will stay with you forever - in a good way. None of the sequels have been nearly as good as this first book - but you still read them, hoping. I picked this book up near the register at the supermarket while waiting in line and was hooked after the first page. Hopefully sooner rather than later, Auel will get the main character (Ayla) back to the Clan for the resolution of this series. Whether she does or not, this book stands on its own. Read and enjoy!
