I enjoyed this! Basically it follows the life of an Ice Aged-era person in Europe, it's a fictional biography rather than following a set "adventure", but that adds to the charm. However, what detracts from the story (which is based on our best understanding of the lives of people in this era) is that it's not immediately obvious that it's trying to be factual, so it will likely just seem like an oddly descriptive pure fiction to readers that do not have any experience with anthroplogy. It's a pity, because this story really is a great insight into what life could have been like back then!
Another common critiscism of this book is the VERY sexual language used, particularly in the first third. It's a little jarring, but these are the stories of an adolescent, and I think it's done reasonably "honestly".

An example of this: At several points in the book, Loon, the protagonist, has encounters with Neanderthals that range from fleeing for his life to cooperation. The interactions between humans and Neanderthals go into quite a bit of detail, for example the Neanderthals' inability to speak in the human language, but their ability to mostly understand it. To someone that know nothing about NEanderthals, this could come across as simply a creative choice to make the "Old Ones" seem dumber and more barbaric, but in truth it's based on actualy studies on Neanerthal fossils and speculations on the sounds they were able to make. A reader needs a basic surface-livel knowledge to fully appreciate this.Another common critiscism of this book is the VERY sexual language used, particularly in the first third.
