Summary: I was blown away!
Comment: Hands down one of the best books I've read to date. I was assigned Reindeer Moon for an introductory Anthropology course a few years back, and what a treat it turned out to be! Wonderfully realistic and multidimensional characters as well as supurb attention to detail are what make this novel impossible to put down. I read Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel prior to this and was dissapointed that her main character was portrayed almost like an angel; she could do no wrong. But Thomas's Yanan is so real; complete with character flaws, impure thoughts, and feelings of uncertainty. A rich cast of characters and amazing attention to detail is what made this book soar to the top of my "favorite novels" list. Highly recommended.

Summary: A riveting drama of human life on icy tundra 20K years ago
Comment: This is the best book I have ever read about how Homo sapiens lived in an ice-age world 20,000 years ago. Superbly written, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas describes in highly dramatic fashion the struggle of a young girl to stay alive in a land where death was always near and at a time when food and warmth were incredibly scarce. Life in a clan, life among the animals and life in a supernatural state are all described in entrancing detail.

Summary: Good Story, But Kind of Stressful
Comment: This is not the kind of book I normally read, but I could stop myself from reading it once I began. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas truly knows how hook a reader. I felt pain and sadness, at the deaths of Yanan's lodge members, but also their joys. The other does a seamless job of moving the story back and forth from the really world [if you can call it that], to the sprit world, and somehow make me [a strong non-fiction reader] believe. I will worn the reader, that this book did not leave me feeling relaxed, I found that I was stressed and restless after reading it. I would call the book a good read, one I wouldn't want to have missed out on, but I wouldn't call it an enjoyable read.
