Title: Good for a first draft
Review: I am listening to the book on tape. It has all the hallmarks of a book that was paid for by the word. Every detail has to be repeated in excruitiating detail. And the assumptions about peoples naivtae about animal husbandry and animal behavior are just not believable. Wolves would not be novel items around settlements, and would not be as well trained just one generation out of the wild. Not believable is to put it mildly. This book reads as if it is a first draft and was never reread by the author. Shame on you Jean Auel. Clan of the cave bear was a brilliant idea. This is book reads as if you were tired of the story and paid by the word. Give it up. Start a different story. Make up something new. Please.
