Summary: A classic!
Review: Couldn't put it down. High adventure. Unforgettable characters. A story based on solid research. This is a novel to savor and then set aside to read again and again.

Summary: Exciting Reading!!!
Review: I definately love the book and I've also read the other two that follow...Corridor of Ice and Forbidden Land. Each one of them is just as exciting. You feel as if you were there with Torka and Lonit through each journey. I've just finished ordering the rest of the entire series from Amazon.com. I cannot wait until they arrive!! If you like to read about the early Americans...you will definately enjoy this series.

Summary: Go with the Gears instead
Review: I don't get the impression that there is a great deal of anthropological/archeological accuracy to these books. Also, much of the brutality is gratuitous, IMHO. Lastly, the author's style is rather weak. People of the Wolf and its successors are infinitely superior--better style, better stories/character development, and much better grounding in anthropology/archeology.

Summary: Somewhat disappointing
Review: I had anticipated from the other customer reviews that this book would be similar to the Auel "Earth's Children" series. While both take place in humankind's prehistory, I'm afraid I found little else in common. Particularly disturbing was the widespread misogyny and violence against women portrayed as part of the culture of the humans at the time. I also found the author's often excessive descriptive sytle distracting at times - a little more simplicity would have been appreciated. The main character, Torka, was difficult for me to connect with and I felt his character development to be abrupt and without explanation. I'm afraid I'll stick to Auel's perhaps more utopian, but certainly better written, view of this time period.

Summary: Compelling; Gory but good
Review: I hate gory or disturbing tales, and this book was packed with them, but I found it to be amazing anyway. It was very believable (mostly). I can't say why I liked it so much; I just couldn't put it down. It's a fast read. I intend to order the next book. I've read all four Earth's Children books and was looking for something to read while waiting for the next book. This book was better than EC in some ways, but overall it lacked some of the warmth of Jean Auel's books. Don't let that stop you though. This is an excellent, freaky, chilling, suspenseful adventure.

Summary: a super super book!
Review: I have found this book to be a very wonderful book indeed. I love the way William Sarabande knew so much about the customs of the people he is writing about. I felt that I was right there with them. I read not only this book, but all in the series and they were all WONDERFUL! :)

Summary: NEVER HAVE YOU READ AN ADDITION LIKE IT
Review: I HAVE NEVER READ BOOKS LIKE THESE BEFORE. I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM A MEMBER OF THE BAND , I MOVE AS THEY MOVE, I HUNT AS THEY HUNT AND I LOVE AS THEY LOVE. TORKA AND HIS SMALL BAND ARE SO IMSPIRING. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT WILLIAM CONTINUES TO WRITE GREAT BOOKS AS THESE. I'M HOOKED! THIS IS MY THIRD TIME OF READING THE ENTIRE ADDITION AND I KNOW I'LL BE GOING BACK FOR MORE. I WOULD LIKE TO GET ALL OF WILLIAMS BOOKS ONE DAY BUT FOR NOW I'M CONTENT WITH THE FIRST AMERICANS. THANK FOR BRINGINGME SO MUCH SADISFACTION WILLIAM ITS A PLEASURE READING YOUR BOOKS! THANK YOU.
