After reading "The Land of Painted Caves: A Novel (Earth's Children)," the sixth and last book in Jean Auel's Earth's Children series, and happily catching glimpses of the more human side to her eventually Wonder Woman-esque protagonist, Ayla, I decided to re-explore the original offering, "The Clan of the Cave Bear," to rediscover the roots of my initial fascination with the "Clan" universe. Even after thirty years, "Cave Bear" still maintains its high standing in my world of notable characterizations. …

Many have tried to copy this authors style of "pre-history romance" but none have even come close to this well researched, well written series.

An old favorite, the series by Auel was just recently brought back to mind when I found it at the library and reread The Clan of the Cave Bear. I had the entire series up to The Shelters of Stone but unfortunately lost them in Katrina. Between that and my 1st edition collection of Harry Potter hardbacks I still swallow a sniffle. An epic tale, deeply rooted in historical fantasy, the series is a wonderful view of pre-historic man's (woman's) life and a series that I cherished for a long time. While …

I love this book, and the rest of the seris. I just wish Ms. Auel didn't take so long to complete the next in the series. I am just dying to know what happens next.

The Clan of the Cave Bear is the first of a five book series by Jean M. Auel. It is, to date, my favorite book. If you read the first book, you will not want to stop! Luckily, there are four more thick books that will keep you entertained for a long time! I picked up Clan of the Cave Bear at an outdoor book sale just because...I was not really that interested... Who knew I would fall in love with an entire tribe of prehistoric people?      As someone with a strong interest in …

I first purchased this book nearly 20 years ago, and each time I re-read it I find new and fascinating things within. There is no doubt that this is a meticulously researched and crafted novel, and we all learn to identify with the waif Ayla as she struggles to survive with her new family.However I must say that even though I have read and enjoyed all the books in the series so far (one just has to know how Ayla is faring!), this is by far THE strongest and best. The characterisations are strong, …

Pros: Good Story, Super Research     Cons: Very few, hard to pick one out.     I've read Clan of the Cave Bear more than five times which is a pretty good indicator that I like this book. I've taken a lot from it over the years, and my perception of it has changed as I myself have grown and changed.      When I first read this book, back when my children were small, I found it to be a good story with excitement and adventure. It seemed …
