1.0 out of 5 stars not worth the price you paid., November 12, 1998

By	[e-mail] (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

I collect historical fiction books. From Jean Auel to Sue Harrison to Linda Lay Shuler to Mr. and Mrs. Gear and William Sarabande and Joan Wolf. 90 in all to date. The only books I have thrown out have been everything written by Allen. It was an chore to read the Mammoth Stone. There wasen't any historical detail or true settings. It didn't have the feel of an researched book, it read more like science fiction than historical.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very good, October 17, 1998

By A Customer

Don't listen to the comparison to Clan of the Cave Bear. COTCB is way out of the Mammoth Stone's league. I read this book ages ago and gave it away because I didn't like it at all, it's kind of weird and not very informative if you are seeking to learn about the ancient American peoples way of life.

If you are looking for a book akin to the Earth's Children series then The Mammoth Stone is a complete waste of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, October 14, 2001

By	"tracidb" (Alabama) - See all my reviews

First you have to realized that this book is no written by our beloved authors such as Linda Lay Shuler, Kathaleen and Michael Gear or Jean Auel. This book doesn't compare to their work. If you compare this book to their work you won't like it. Keep an open mind and read it for what it is. I loved this book and everything my Margaret Allan is good. While they are a little slower than the authors listed above the story line is great. While not a much historical facts are given. This books is just what is is. A great story about a woman who comes into her own rights.
