The Clan of the Cave Bear

Jean M. Auel

I didn't want to like this book.  I am not an outdoors kind of girl.  I don't like long, flowery descriptions in books.  I thought I wasn't going to make it with the pages and pages of descriptions of what the clan foraged for, or ate.  However, I got sucked into the story and learned when to click and skim the long flowery descriptions.  I don't think that the world should revolve around men, and I have no tolerance for a culture where men show women "their place" with their fists.  I found myself HATING Broud and cheering for Ayla.  I really don't have time to read a 6 book series, but I just might have to and make sure that Ayla wins in the end!
