It was a rough start for me (was a book club pick), but I ended up really enjoying it. I read the next couple of books before loosing interest.

I loved the first book. I use the difference between Neanderthal and cro magnon intelligence described in the book to explain the difference between high functioning autism and neurotypical intelligence.

AMAZING Series. I read it in high school. I just skipped over the pages of excruciating detail of flora and fauna.

I loved the first book but the second irritated me so much that I decided not to continue the series. I have several friends that love the entire series though.

2nd book was my least favorite, but I really liked the 3rd. 4th was good. I started losing interest by the 5th but I finished it. I could not finish the 6th. Give it another try.

loved the 1st two sooo much clan of the cave bear I have read about 5 or six times and It never fails to hit me in the feels from the 3rd book on it can get a bit repetitive as the author feels the need to fill in what happened in prior books each time so the further you get the more fillers you get I guess coz the gaps between books was quite large so it was a recap but It felt like you got less new plot each time . overall I loved the series though.

Fabulous have read them many times! It’s kind of like outlander/cross-stitch series tho in the sense that it gets a bit repetitive a few books in, but by then you are invested in the characters and want to find out what happens.
I actually prefer clan over outlander but it could be that I read clan first (prob 20 yrs ago) and only read outlander 5 ish or so years ago

I’m reading the third book right now! I started the first one just after ny, I’m really enjoying it.. the first half of the second book slowed down a bit cos she introduced new characters and I just wanted to know what happened to the original protagonist lol.. but I’m 323 pages into the third book and i only started it about 36 hours ago ??

I read it a long time ago and loved it. Amazon has a Kindle trilogy named The Storyteller Trilogy by B Harrison. I downloaded a sample first and was drawn in right away. It is my next read ❤️

Years ago…I LOVED IT!!! I remember it took until page 86 before I began loving it. (Don’t ask me why I remember that from the 80’s!) 🙂 I read the sequels, too, but, they didn’t measure up, but at least the 1st sequel is worth it.

I loved them in my late twenties/early thirties. I tried to read them again in my 50s and they lost all appeal, so I guess it depends on your age.
