Welcome to The Backlist Book Club discussion of The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel. Need a refresher? Check out my review of The Clan of the Cave Bear . 1. Typically, I'm not turned off by unlikable characters, but in The Clan of the Cave Bear , I was. Broud was too unlikable and no one else was likable enough to compensate. Which characters did you find to be likable and unlikable? 2. Even though I didn't like the book, the setting captivated and fascinated me. Much of the novel seemed hyper-realistic, but at times the Clan's traditions veered into science fiction. Overall, did you find the novel believable? 3. I think one of the reasons I didn't connect with Ayla was her age. When the novel began, she was a child, and I struggled to identify with her frustrations. What did you think of Ayla as she aged? Did your impressions of her change? 4. What surprised you in this novel? 5. To whom would you recommend this title? I encourage you to subs
I love it! It's looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andi!
DeleteI love it! It's easy on the eyes and I love the background image. Colorful but not distracting. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ti! That's exactly what I was going for. I love this image and only switched away from it when I wanted a white background with black text. This new overlay option is perfect!
DeleteLooks great! I'm working on a new design as well and I hope to have it up in January. Sometimes you just need a change.
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog layout, it looks great - but why does it think it is December 1st already?!
ReplyDeleteLooks really cool! Nice job. Very easy on the eyes and it feels happy :) Happened upon a broken link--the link to your review of Bossypants by Tina Fey doesn't work. Other reviews do appear, so it's not a global problem at least :) It probably has nothing to do with new layout, but thought you'd want to know.
