No, I don't think this is fantasy, but if someone wants to move it then

Anyway, who's read Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M Auel and what did you think?

There will probably be spoilers, but one thing I thought from the beginnign was that it was predictable as Hells.

I read it aaaaaaaaaaaaages ago and can't quite remember, actually. What I do remember is all the sex that went on during the movie version.

According to one of my friends they get pretty pornographic later, but this just had a few rapes, that weren't heavily described.

But as she makes a big deal about everyone shagging everyone else, I'm sure the movie would have sex. It's not like it could have had dialogue...

Well, there is considerable grunting, but no, not much dialogue persay.

memo to self: don't see the movie.

Enuff porn to exite me way back

Then again a teenager is easely exited.

I saw the movie, but I keep confusing it with that "Quest for Fire" movie that came out. I sort of forget the plot, but I do remember the wild caveman sex

When I see it listed on TV guide or something, I confuse it with 'Cave Man'. But all in all, I'd rather watch 'The Gods must be Crazy.'

The film was nothing more than the T&A of One Million Years BC with the violence and sex of Quest for Fire. I guess it has certain merits but its not a very good movie. Now, Quest for Fire is a fucking masterpiece on the other hand.

I just got to Chapter 6? And I only started reading it night before last.. And have been fairly busy most of that time.

Read it, I agree with your assesment....

note to remember I have also read a bunch of other pre-historical fiction by others too....

I read the whole series several years back... I think there's been more, but last title I recall is "The Mammoth Hunters". I can't recall if that's the one I'm thinking of, but the final book (at the time) had Aya and her mate returning to his home along the Danube.

I read that and valley of horses, I have even read that one by Anthony Burgess.....

I have read Clan of the cave bar, the valley of horses and the shelters of stone. Overall, it is a pretty damn good series of books. Yes, they tend to be a bit graphic at times, but it is nothing to be ashamed about. Hell, I like the fact that she is willing to put a little sex in there when the situation warrants it.

I've read the first and third books. The third one is much much more entertaining if a bit like a romance novel (lots of sex).

Clan of the Cave Bear itself was okay but now that you mention it, it was predictable. I probably didn't notice like I should have because I'd already seen the movie.
