ajsquilla 's review for:

The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel

4.0

---

I love when books are so well written they have the power to take you to another world.  The Clan of the Cave Bear took to me to a time when people lived primitively and relied on nature to survive. It's such a sharp juxtaposition with today's world. I think everyone should read this book as a humble reminder of what our ancestors used to do just to make it.

Auel has a great descriptive language to make you feel as if you are there, around the hearth, eating their food and drinking their tea. The coming of age story is riveting and delightful. 

Overall, a great read to escape our current harsh reality.
