Even though the audio for this book is shameful I still enjoyed it. I can quickly immerse myself in the Clans world and am thoroughly invested in every character. Was The Clan of the Cave Bear worth the listening time?Ībsolutely. It almost sounded like it was recorded on a scratchy 45rpm Also you could hear the pages of the book being turned and it often sounded as if the narrator had her lips ON the mike. Every few chapters the pitch would change and he sound would be less clean. Her voice was slightly clipped and monotone BUT though she wasn't the best narrator the main problem was the changing production.

What didn’t you like about Sandra Burr’s performance? When Brun recognizes Ayla as someone more than just a girl What was one of the most memorable moments of The Clan of the Cave Bear? Production and Narration didn't quite ruin it He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become their next leader sees her differences as a threat to his authority. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her.

To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly - she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them.

A natural disaster leaves the young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind.

Auel’s magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves The Clan of the Cave Bear.
