Dance of the Tiger: A Novel of the Ice Age

Rating:
Summary: Great novel...
Review: A story set in the Ice Age, a love story and a mystery. The setting is greatly detailed, as it should be, being written by Bjorn Kurten. While first printed in 1980, it has not really become outdated. Nothing in the book could be countered by fresh data and much of it is guess-work anyway. And a easy read.
The introduction by Stephen Jay Gould just adds to the book, like icing on a cake.

Rating:
Summary: no novelist he
Review: Professors are not novelists. As accurate as this book might be, the writing is quite poor. It drags and there is very little plot, just a string of events. I'm sure he was a fine scholar.

Rating:
Summary: A little too science/fantsy like for me.
Review: This book didn't really appeal to me as a work of historical fiction, didn't come across as realistic or even plausible.
