Summary: A WONDERFUL TITLE TO BEGIN WITH
Review: This book is a wonderful way to escape our every day mind set and slip into the endless adventure of the characters portrayed. If you love history you will certainly enjoy this novel as well as the others to this set. I own all the books and have read them at least twice. I would love to know when and if there is going to be another book? The author is a delightful writer with percision and style. This book and set is a must have.

Summary: Believe it or not, this book instills confidence
Review: I read this book, and the rest of the series, when I was in high school. I think every woman who reads these books wants to model herself after Ayla. Brave, honest, beautiful, sincere - I mean, what more could you ask for? Her totem is a cave lion, for pete's sake! Jean M. Auel has an extraordinary gift for making her characters so real and alive - Ayla was probably my best friend when I was 16. She made me take a hard look at who I was and how I wanted the world to see me, and she gave me courage to overcome some of the teenage social situations I thought I would just never make it through. Funny how a work of fiction can make such an impact on your life. I love this entire series, and The Clan of the Cave Bear started it all. (just a note: I wouldn't recommend these books to anyone under 16 - some strong sexual content)

Summary: Breathtaking!
Review: The novelty and originality of this novel was incredible! I never read anything as creative and imaginative as this enjoyable piece of literature. Admittedly, it is a lot of pages, but well worth the time reading it. It truly transports you to another world ... one so remote, but yet made to feel so real and vivid by the author. When you're done, you feel left wanting more ... and, guess what, there is more -- those wonderful sequels!

Summary: I fell in love with this book from the first page......
Review: TCotCB was fantastic. I fell in love with Ayla, and the rich descriptions of the surroundings and life. Jean M Auel did a wonderful job of researching the lives of the Cro Magnan man, and about herb lore. But, more than that, JMA weaves a beautiful and captivating story of a little girl who tries so hard to fit in.... I laughed with her triumphs, and still cry with her tragedies everytime I read it.

Summary: Excellent

Summary: Eeka, Ooka, Ayla and Droud
Review: I did the unabridged audiobook. 14 tapes of prehistoric immersion into the culture of the clan. Very satisfying, very informative, very revealing and very thought-provoking. You get to know these neanderthals better than your own clan (and maybe they make more sense in their own way!). I wish I had a smidgen of their herblore knowledge and I got to admire their common sense approach to problems. What is you animal totem? It now seems so important somehow. Enjoy.

Summary: Sorry I took so long to read this book in the first place!
Review: A friend of mine recommended this book to me a long time ago and I should not of waited.I got hooked on it from the first chapter and I could not stop until I finished reading the last chapter in the series. The only good thing about waiting so long to actually read this series is, I do not have to wait as long as some of the others who has been waiting for years for the next book to come out!

Summary: The Clan of the Cave Bear
Review: I read the series for the first time when I was in Matric. As can be believed, I was unable to put down this absolutely riveting book. I have subsequently reread the series twice, and also convinced my family and friends to read it. It is an emotionally evocative tale of a young woman full of strength, courage and an abounding love. I strongly suggest this series, and wait with impatience for the next book.

Summary: Outstanding and breathless
Review: Never I have read a book which brought out such strong feelings of emotion. A tale of humanity, love, hatred, jealously and conflict. Whilst reading this book I lived and breathed the lives of the earth's children. I smiled when Ayla became accepted by the Clan, laughed at the thought of the children tugging at Brun's beard, felt awe and love for Creb's wisdom and compassion and cried at Iza's last words of love to Ayla. Words fail to describe a book which I'm sure will be remembered as a classic of our time. Better than any history lesson could ever hope to achieve this tale of humanity brought our heritage to life. Please MS Auel put your readers at rest and bring on the fifth book.
