The Clan of the Cave Bear

This was really, and I mean really, not my type of book. That is, I've never read anything quite like it, and usually don't like this type of genre. The reason I gave it a try is: A good friend of mine who died last February, recommended it to me last year when I asked her for book suggestions. I've been thinking about her a lot lately, as well as feeling like reading something different, so I decided to read it in her memory, if you will..
Surprisingly, I liked more about the book than I would've expected. I've always loved delving into other times, other places and cultures. It shocks me how brutal and barbaric humans can be without the laws of civil society. Not to mention what creative imaginations we have when left to our own devices.
I loved Creb from the start. I think he's my favorite character. That's about all I can really say on the book, except to say it was a pretty memorable read. Even the disturbing bits, or maybe especially the disturbing bits. But definitely a worth while read. I just might check out the second book in the series.
