About this listen
Clan of the Cave Bear is the first novel in Jean M. Auel's magnificent best-selling epic of life 35,000 years ago. Leave the 21st century and go back to Ice Age Europe. Follow Ayla, a Cro-Magnon child who loses her parents in an earthquake and is adopted by a tribe of Neanderthal, the Clan. See how the Clan's wary suspicion is gradually transformed into acceptance of this girl, so different from them, under the guidance of its medicine woman, Iza, and its wise holy man, Creb. Immerse yourself in a world dictated by the demands of survival in a hostile environment, and be swept away in an epic tale of love, identity and struggle.

I've read the books a million times, just as good in audio book format!

Educational as well as entertaining
I first read this book many years ago when I was in high school and I don't remember it being so "textbooky".
What I mean is that, besides the story of Ayla, it feels a lot like a school text book. Almost as if Jean M Auel is a paleoanthropologist moonlighting as a novelist.
The problem with an audio book vs a hard copy is that you can easily skim over the paragraphs that are simply lists of flora or fauna or outlining the medicinal properties of dandelion or aster, or describing in meticulous detail how to make a tool. Seriously - a good 20 minutes / 10 pages worth specifically dedicated to the minutiae of how to cut stone for an axehead. Just a little too much like an encyclopaedia.
That said, if you can look past the prehistoric university lecture material, the story is exciting and engaging. I'll give myself a break before moving to the next book in the series.
Rowena Cooper does an exceptional job with the narration.

memorable
remember reading this book when first published while commuting to work in my younger days. 30 odd years later enjoyed it again listening on audible. Jean M Auel has the magical power of her writing to transport you back to the ice age and relive what our ancestors lived. The hardship the joy sorrow struggles and never-ending battle to survive. A book and series i love.

Stunning adventure.
This series made me fascinated with prehistoric humans and how they lived. The story itself is well written, and gives a good sense of adventure. I'm going straight onto the next book in the series.

The Earth's Children series
I have read all of these books and, as many others have, waited all those long years between book releases. It is absolutely fantastic that I can have these in audible format so that I can 'read' them again during the long commutes I have each day. Well worth the effort.
Rowena's voice is very pleasant to listen to.

Brilliant
Takes me to a time, although fictional in story, that I would rather live in. Love, adventure, danger and discovery. Amazing reader.
