The Geico Caveman Is Trying To Ban This Book

Pros An engrossing level of detail.
Cons Sometimes too much detail. Auel is overly enamored with her heroine.
Recommended it? No

A Feminist Beginning

In wish-fulfillment pulp literature for male audiences the heroes are daring, vindictive, and physically tough if not absurdly muscle-bound. From noir detectives to rugged cowboys to intrepid starship pilots to sword-wielding barbarians. Pretty girls are flung at... Read full review »

The Clan Of The Cave Bear..A Beginning

bygarland1 May 6, 2000
58 Helpfuls 59 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros very detailed, a great epic adventure
Cons a lot of details on prehistoric life makes it slow moving at times
Recommended it? Yes

I first began reading this series when I was a teenager, since then I have probably read the entire series at least four times. The amount of detail that Auel puts into her work is amazing. I enjoy the feeling that you know exactly how it must feel to live in this time, from the foods that are... Read full review »

Don't Want To Use Your Brain? Read This.

byfallyn96 Sep 24, 2001
48 Helpfuls 49 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros decent story, Ayla is a strong character
Cons predictable, fuzzy characters, not enough freedom of imagination
Recommended it? No

I first read the Earth's Children series when I was in high school. While I was drawn into these books, I have since found them lacking essential elements of a good book.

The Clan of The Cave Bear is the first book in this series. The series revolves around Ayla, a woman of the others,... Read full review »

Jean Auel's Time Machine - Clan of the Cave Bear

bybonnieleigh Aug 24, 2004
34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fascinating setting 25,000 years ago based on extensive research; interesting story and...
Cons Cliffhanger ending.
Recommended it? Yes

For me, this book provided the vehicle for time travel. When I read the first chapter of THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR, I traveled back to prehistoric times, just after the glaciers had receded enough to allow humans to thrive over much of modern-day Europe, approximately 25,000 years ago. Wow. Humans... Read full review »

Imagination Letting You Down? Read About Life In The Clan of the Cave Bear.

byshaithis Jul 8, 2002
33 Helpfuls 34 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros characters and setting utterly realistic. Amazingly paced.
Cons tough to find one, perhaps the semi-open-ended ending?
Recommended it? Yes

I remember a conversation I had with an old friend of mine (he's perhaps twenty years older than me I think) whom I had met through work. I had found out that he never reads fiction. Agast, I asked why. He stated that he just couldn't get into it anymore. His imagination was gone. That conversation... Read full review »

Pros Brings pre-history to life.
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

This book is the first of the of four novels by Jean Auel known as the "Earth's Children" series. There was a movie made of this novel by the same name with Darryl Hannah, which wasn't anywhere near as good as the book. The only reason I was able to sit through the whole movie was because I had... Read full review »

Pros A strong female character, amazing attention to detail, and a gripping plot.
Cons Sometimes the descriptions are a little too long, and there is some violence and sex.
Recommended it? Yes

I first read Jean Auel's "The Clan of the Cave Bear" in sixth grade, and I was immediately captivated. The book swept me up into Prehistoric Europe, and I was utterly fascinated. The vivid descriptions of the landscapes, lifestyles, people, and animals of that vastly different world amazed me, and... Read full review »
