5.0 out of 5 stars want to hook a young reader?-find Fire Hunter, November 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fire-Hunter (Hardcover)

I am another reader who remembers "Fire Hunter" like it was the only book that ever counted in my youth. I read it in elementary school and have been looking for it since I had children of my own. What a great book to inspire a child's imagination! I know that I read all of the rest of Kjelgaard's books just because Fire Hunter was my first. I can't find it anywhere, but surely a book like this will be reprinted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire Hunter, August 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fire-Hunter (Hardcover)

As a youngster, "Fire Hunter" was my first glimpse of prehistory mankind. The author skillfully created characters I could understand and care about, and introduced me to an ancient society that I never knew existed. With care toward authenticity without overwhelming a young reader, the story was memorable enough for me to want to read it again as an adult. The publisher would not lose by reprinting the novel. There is a new generation caught up with dinosaurs ready for an introduction to humanity's beginnings. "Fire Hunter" is easily a young reader's equal to Jean Auel's adult novel "Clan of the Cave Bear."

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire-Hunter, February 24, 2001

This review is from: Fire-Hunter (Hardcover)

Do you remember the Weekly Reader? Then you're probably as old as I am. Each month, we were presented with a list and short synopsis of about fifty books from which to choose. In the sixth grade, I discovered Tom Sawyer and there was no holding me back. My parents were forced to limit me to three books per month. I fondly remember the sweet agony of narrowing that monthly list down to three.Fortunately, one of those books was Fire-Hunter. I lost my copy shortly after I read it but the story stuck with me, lo, these many years. It sparked an interest in early man that I have yet to shake. I eagerly await an opportunity to reaquaint myself with Hawk and Willow.
