![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted a story as seen through the eyes of prehistorical people and I’d seriously take anything the author threw my way, there would be no limits to my suspension of disbelief. I didn’t need that foreshadowing of the 20th century. I’m sorry, what? It’s 35000 BC, I don’t want to hear things like ‘hypothermia’ or ‘diuretic’ or ‘evolution’. "The plentiful supply of drinking water kept dehydration from making its dangerous contribution to hypothermia, the lowering of body temperature that brought death from exposure, but she was getting weak." It’s the writing I had many different problems with. It’s all ok, it’s comfort reading after all. I knew no real harm would ever come Ayla’s way, she would survive it all and meanwhile invent an iPhone. I didn’t even care she turned out to be the smartest, most beautiful, ingenious little thing and the villain in the story was almost grotesque and cartoonish in his evildoing. See, you had a good story there – a little Cro-Magnon orphan girl found and raised by Neanderthals. ![]() Be warned I’m quite angry because I keep reading your books for some bizarre reason and I cringe and tear my hair out in despair. ![]() Ms Auel, there are some things I’d like to talk to you about. ![]()
