What made the experience of listening to The Mammoth Hunters the most enjoyable?
I have read the two previous stories in this series and found the author's attempt to describe the life of cro-magnon pre-humans most interesting. While much of the material discussed has been drawn from (probably) controversial findings, all the cultural aspects of the story has to have been extrapolated from other cultures. Whether or not cro-magnon were capable of such sophisticated interpretations of their environment and self knowledge is surely conjectural, but they are combined in an interesting story involving a gifted girl who undertakes a saga of a journey.What other book might you compare The Mammoth Hunters to, and why?
The other books in this series. I have not read/listened to other stories of this genre.What about Rowena Cooper’s performance did you like?
Cooper does a nice job of voicing the various major characters. As the character list is very large, there is obviously little or no difference between some of the minor players, but the major ones are well differentiated and believable.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, just admiration at the author's imagination and her ability to describe what are technical points in the story with interesting description.Any additional comments?
I'm certainly going to complete this series. The heroine's, like others', saga will be difficult and interesting.What I did find detracting was the very graphic sex scenes. The descriptions given are tantamount to a sex manual. This degree of explicitness adds nothing to the story, and to my mind quite distracting from the otherwise quite excellent main theme. Luckily, I am using a decent audiobook player that allows me to jump forward over these (many) scenes - hearing just two was more than enough.
An intersting reconstruction of pre-historic times
