This is my third copy of this paperback book. I wore the others completely out! In this book you will overwinter with a new people in a multiple family setting near the continental ice sheet. You will experience a mammoth hunt and a bison hunt as if you were there. You will grow to love the characters as if they were your own family and learn what it is like to live in close quarters, snowed in, over an entire winter. The characters are unforgettable and when you finish the book, you will have to say goodbye to people that you have grown to love - until you reread the series again! This is the third book in the series. It will stand alone if you decide to start here, but I recommend starting with the first in the series - Clan of the Cave Bear. Your relationship with the main characters is so much richer if you grow with them through the first two books!Read full review

The book was a second edition. Smaller than the first edition. Had an old odor. No jacket, stains on paper edges. Donating it to local library.

What is not to like about a book in which the lead character is a strong, intelligent woman that loves a man but could survive without him. I am not a big romance novel fan as they are nothing more than fantasy and fairy tales and so far from reality. Although this is a work of fiction it feels as if it could be a true story. Mrs. Auel is a great writer and her story flows so well that you don't want to put the book down. I have read the previous in the series and am now onto the next one. Great read would recommend it to any woman that is tired of the typical fairy tale and would love to read something exciting and heart wrenching. Nice to read about a woman that can stand on her own two feet and still be a loving wife and mother.
This will be my third time reading this series! It's so awesome how Ayla and Jondalar adapt and survive in the wild. Jean Auel did so much historical research to write these books and every word should be revered! I cherish this series. I wish the story could go on forever. You'll never be sorry you read this series. As for the book itself. I bought this book because I only had the paperback and needed the hardback in this series.

Jean Auel is my favorite author. She vividly writes fiction stories about very early evolving clans. She is also the author of Clan of the cave bear. I am anxiously awaiting her final book of this series. I bought The mammoth hunters to replace my copy that was falling apart from being loaned out to friends. I was very happy with my new hardback copy that will stay in my bookcase forever!
