This is the story of Ayla, a 5 year old Cro-Magnon girl orphaned by an earth quake and raised by a clan of Neanderthals.The story hits on the issues of gender roles, feminism, sexism, religion, societal mores and cultural values and expectations and possibly even pro-life as Ayla fights for the life...

This was amazing!There are possibly spoilers in this review, but not so much to ruin the book for anyone, at least I don't think so. First, Ayla was an incredible character. She was born of the Others, but found and raised by the Clan. I can almost understand her plight a bit, as a black girl who...

CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR - It takes an author with a great deal of daring to attempt a tale with such an epic scope as this one. In Jean M Auel's novel, entitled 'The Clan of the Cave Bear', she explores the imagined interaction of our Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal ancestors. Based on interviews I have re...

I was in need of an audiobook, so I turned to a coworker and asked which book I should listen to next. She turned a little red and told me about this series that has, like, a million books and she's read all of them and loved every single one. She then went on to explain that the books take place in...

CoverDas Cover ist in einem erdigen Rot gehalten und zeigt die Höhlenzeichnung eines Bären. Die Schrift hebt sich durch das weiß und gelb gut leserlich vom Hintergrund ab, was ich persönlich immer ziemlich wichtig finde. Es gibt nichts Schlimmeres, als einen Titel nicht lesen zu können. Das Bild pas...

A friend of mine recommended this book to me, saying it was one of the best books she had ever read. I knew it had to be something special, because this wasn't something she'd say all the time. So, I was easily convinced to buy/read this book. And I didn't regret it. I found the story to be so int...

My #7 Favorite read of 2013 A Unique and Entrancing 5 Stars When I am rating a book, I am internally comparing that book to other similar books in the genre and asking myself if it is on par with the best I have read. For me, when it comes to rating what I deem to be Historical Fiction, 5 stars ...

A friend recommended this book, and though it’s not my usual cup of tea, I decided to give it a chance. I am happy to say what a pleasant surprise this was. Honestly, I went into reading with every intention of this book becoming a DNF read. I was quickly immersed in Ayla’s story. She suffered a lot...

This first in the "Earth's Children" series is definitely my favorite. I liked The Valley of Horses but by The Mammoth Hunters felt the series was becoming too much of a stone age soap opera. But I loved this first volume about Ayla, a human girl who at five-years-old is taken in by a band of Nean...

A bit of a yarn. I was hoping for something that was more or less an epic adventure.
