Review
"There is drama here--probably the greatest drama and the greatest puzzle of our history: the nature, the phenomenon, of the extinction of Neandertal man. This is in every respect an extraordinary novel. Stephen Jay Gould, a Harvard scientist and scientific historian, contributes and appreciative and most useful introduction."--"The New Yorker

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great novel...,
By Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dance of the Tiger: A Novel of the Ice Age (Paperback)
A story set in the Ice Age, a love story and a mystery. The setting is greatly detailed, as it should be, being written by Bjorn Kurten. While first printed in 1980, it has not really become outdated. Nothing in the book could be countered by fresh data and much of it is guess-work anyway. And a easy read.The introduction by Stephen Jay Gould just adds to the book, like icing on a cake.

A little too science/fantsy like for me.,
By Heather H. "Heather H." (New Jersey, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dance of the Tiger: A Novel of the Ice Age (Paperback)
This book didn't really appeal to me as a work of historical fiction, didn't come across as realistic or even plausible.

DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS BOOK, READ SOMETHING ELSE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dance of the Tiger: A Novel of the Ice Age (Paperback)
I HAVE BEEN READING MANY PREHISTORIC NOVELS IN THE LAST YEAR ANDHAVE ENJOYED JUST ABOUT EVERY BOOK. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK THAT REALLY WASTED MY TIME. I SOMEHOW THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD GET BETTER AND THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME READING BUT WAS I EVER WRONG. THE CHARACTERS WERE HARD TO REALLY LIKE AND THE STORY LINE HAD NOTHING INTERESTING TO KEEP MY INTEREST. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME REALLY GOOD PREHISTORIC NOVELS TRY LINDA LAY SCHULER, CHARLOTTE PRENTISS, LYNN MCKEE OR JOAN WOLF. (I HAVE NOT READ JOAN WOLF'S BOOKS YET BUT HAVE HEARD EXCELLENT REVIEWS!!)
