It had some intriguing/exciting moments, but it just dragged on and on about the landscape and plant life and animal life. The Plains of Passage is where I noticed a steep drop-off in writing quality. But I liked the introduction on how Cro-Magnon people may have lived and worked together at the end of the last ice age. The Mammoth Hunters was good aside from the central drama of the story (Ranec, Ayla, and Jondalar's love triangle), which was pretty stupid considering it could have been solved through just a LITTLE communication. The sex scenes were pretty hot even! And everything once again seemed believable enough, even if Ayla's Mary-Sue-esque character development started to show through. The Valley of Horses was also pretty great, although it dragged on in parts, I always felt Ayla's loneliness was palpable. The drama was realistic and the characters felt human. Brilliantly researched, very interesting hypotheses/explanations, all in all the best Stone Age fiction I've ever read. I fell in love with Clan of the Cave Bear when I was a young teenager (as I'm sure many people did).

I am so glad that they were able to get the transfer done. The tape now plays for about the first 20min then craps all over my heads and won’t play anymore.
