I started listening to this book and fall in love with the series. must read

just as educational as it is entertaining

I loved this story from beginning to end. Absolutely beautiful. The narrator has a great voice and read is extremely well.

Great book I could hardly turn it off. I've read the book years ago. But went much faster listening. The narrator was easy to listen to, with good diction.

This is a great book series, the way her life starts is a long road

I have never read a historical fiction that is as educational as it is entertaining. It is a must read.

One of my favorite all-time books. It was a pleasure to listen to the audio, and now on to the second book in this beloved series~ Valley Of Horses

Great book

Great story, well read.

This book is an interesting adventure story but given the fact that Neanderthals were non verbal, couldn’t tell stories and couldn’t form groups of more than 150 individuals, the premises of this story are too unbelievable to embrace. Their use of medicines and procedures that weren’t known for 50,000 years make it more unimaginable.

Loved this book. The descriptions can get lengthy, but it’s worth it. The world building is great.

I looooove this series ! Already read it a long time ago in my mother tongue, French, and it’s a pleasure to re-discover it in english this time. The only negative thing I’ll say about Jean M Auel’s writing (that have been said before) is that she really does repeat informations a lot. And the narrator has a strange way of pronouncing the « wh » sound (« why », « what », « when », etc). She also uses a lot of nasal voices for the different characters. It’s not unbearable, just a bit odd. Other than that, great narrator, great story, love it

My favorite book!

Fanaticism

Sexiest.. and Boring!

I NEED MORE CAVEPEOPLE STORIES

Very interesting story.

Too much misogyny and racism/classism for my taste.

just as good as I remembered it

Love this series...makes you think!

I could not get past the narrators telling of the story, she was simply reading words there was no emption

Excellent!!! I just loved the characters. Writing was exciting

I have read this series well over 100 times....the reason I gave the narrator a 3 is due to the pronunciation of character names and some other words that drove me a bit annoyed....otherwise it was great....(hard to hear character names pronounced different than you have always heard them in your head when reading to yourself) the fact I have personally read these books so many times speaks for itself as to how I view the series....need I say more?

I ended up liking this book enough to go to the next in the series, which is starting out pretty well. I found Clan of the Cave Bear to be a great concept with a lot of great parts, but also with a lot of parts that were pretty slow-going. I felt that I got hammered countless times with examples of how difficult it was for both Ayla and the clan to live together -- Ayla constantly having to suppress her nature to fit in, and the clan constantly having to make allowances for her behavior and their difficulty in accepting her and their inability to deal with the new and unknown. The author really succeeded in getting me to despise Braud and to love Kreb and Issa. The descriptions of the clan's lifestyle were interesting, as were the author's speculations on their mental abilities -- both their strengths (memory) and limitations (abstraction). I don't care much for the narrator... I guess Davina Porter and the Outlander series, which I just finished, are a very hard act to follow (not to mention Jim Dale and the Harry Potter series). Nevertheless, I'm moving on to Valley of the Horses. I deeply appreciate the author's imagination and story-telling prowess -- well done!

Absolutely loved this book can't wait to listen to the next. You can really tell the author did a ton of research to write this novel. This is a must read! So entertaining!
