The Clan of the Cave Bear

[CiderMonkey]

I have just finished this and intend to read the books that come after it. Has snyone else read them and what do you think?

CiderMonkey - I read all of them and by the end I was getting cheesed off. But on the whole I did enjoy them - however, whatever you do DO NOT WATCH THE FILM WITH DARRYL HANNAH. It is excruiciatingly bad.

I found out today about the film...and wondered whether to look out for it...maybe I won't bother!

I started watching it, and ended up cringing through the whole thing - yet peversely could not bring myself to turn it off - perhaps I was hoping that by some miracle it would improve. It would require the brilliance of Peter whatsit - Lord of the Rings director (Jackson?) to make it into a good book as its so descriptive.
Do read the other books though - they get a little - well, silly I thought - Ailyah (was that her name?) invents everything and there's rather a lot of "how's your father" in v.descriptive detail.

i enjoyed them aswell, they do go on a bit in some parts though. I'm looking forward to the last one being released:-)

I absolutely love the clan of the Bear, I started the second one and couldnt get into it at all, but my boyfriend assures me that once you get into it its really good. He has read them all now and loves them. I'm planning to try again with the second one lol
(I didnt mind the film actually *blush*)

Yeah i have read all of them too but really only enjoyed the first three after that i found there was too much repitition about the landscapes and the sex was same old same old so once i had syphoned all that off the last couple of books were incredibly quick to read.
never realised there was a film about the first one though.
