When I found this book on the library shelves, I was immediately interested and grabbed it to take along on my holiday. I was hoping for something that would add to my knowledge of online communities (one of my major interests). I do read fan-fiction on occasion and have been known to dabble in writing it, but I’ve never been part of the communities of writers and readers this book promised to investigate, and so I approached it as if I were planning to pop to the next town over and see what was different from my own. I admit I wasn’t as engaged in this book as I had hoped to be when I picked it up. That said, I would have read this book for Ika Willis’ piece, “Keeping Promises to Queer Children: Making Space (for Mary Sue) at Hogwarts”, if nothing else. The essays on slash and OTP writing were thought-provoking, as well. Where I had a hard time maintaining interest was in the historical and mechanical treatments of the topic, which, to be fair, deviated from the reasons for my interest in the book in the first place. Members of fanfic communities will appreciate that the authors are academics but also fanfic writers themselves, and that they make a point to avoid acting as if their treatments are purely academic. Essay authors refer to their own works, their OTPs and favorite genres, and discuss their own experiences with the communities they’re writing about.

** spoiler alert ** I won't go too much into detail as other reviewers have exhaustively explained why this book sucks donkey arse, but essentially: 1. Auel likes to repeat things. A lot. What I meant to say is that Auel likes to repeat things. A lot. 2. Auel really digs caves. No, really. Ayla spends 2/3 of the book shuffling through caves, peeing in caves, knocking the ash off her torch in caves, and scrutinizing all of the art in caves. What a cavewoman. (snicker) 3. Ayla and Jondalar's interactions consist of, "Why don't you take Jonayla for a while, Jondalar? I need to go and do something esoteric with Zelandoni that involves lots of celibacy." 4. Jondalar: "Okay." 5. Jondalar thinks about this for a while, and says to himself, "Not okay." It turns out he has spent most of the book bonking the shit out of Marona, though in secret, except since it is a small cave in which they live (god, we can't get away from the fucking caves here, can we?), everyone knows about their incessant bonking except for, naturally, Ayla. 6. Ayla finds out about Jondalar's quasi-infidelity (we have to remember that although up to this point, Jondalar & Ayla have been monogamous, they nonetheless live in a polyamorous society) a week after having miscarried her baby while being called to the Zelandonia via - you guessed it - herbs. She discovers this infidelity by watching Marona slurp on Jondalar's... 7. Well, at least this book went easy on the porn. 8. Jondalar and Ayla act like lovelorn middle schoolers. "She hates me!" "He hates me!" Jonayla cries a lot. 9. As though Auel realised toward the end what a stinking pile of shit this book is, she decided to revive it by making Ayla carry out what consists of an intentional suicide attempt by trying out the Clan roots used by the Clan Mog-urs - and drinking nearly the entire contents of the bowl, after letting Zelandoni have the tiniest of sips. Ayla nearly dies, and is called back to life by a contrite and suddenly passionately loving Jondalar. 10. Ayla reveals to this cave-dwelling society that it isn't spirits that make babies, it's sex. Good, old-fashioned sex. Which is ironic, since we don't see a lot of sex in this book. 11. The Goddess society is now on the decline, thanks to Ayla and her goddamned interfering. 12. This book contradicts a lot of what is said in earlier books, especially in Shelters of Stone - in that book, Ayla asks Jondalar what datura is called in Zelandoni, and he answers, "Foxglove." In this book, Ayla has absolutely no idea what the plant is called in Zelandoni, and has to describe it to Zelandoni, who has never seen the plant, which leads one to wonder how the hell a Zelandoni word for it ever existed in the first place. 13. There is no character development. Ever. At all. Important Note: You will cry once you've shlogged through your fortieth cave, complete with exhaustive descriptions of the cave's art and its physical structure, and you find that you still have forty more caves for Ayla to explore. Oh, and I have to warn you that you might just laugh until you cry when Jondalar beats the shit out of Laramar, who is bonking Ayla at a Mother Festival, while screaming in a high-pitched falsetto, "He's making my baby!" You see, Ayla has just announced prior to the Mother Festival (great timing, naturally, since I'm sure all the guys will be wanting their women to conceive by other dudes) that men's "essence" creates babies. So perhaps this pile of shit was worth digging through just so we could hear Jondalar screaming, "He's making my baby!" All in all, drivel. Complete drivel. It's as though Auel looked at her body of work thus far, realised she still had to write one last book, said "DAMN!" to herself, and told the characters, "Frankly, my cavepeople, I don't give a damn" and proceeded to write plastic people who could have substituted for one another without any of our noticing.

While I appreciated Cather's vivid imagery in her descriptions of the landscapes, I couldn't get into the actual story.

This book is an AMAZING book! the story is well written with believable characters and a great story about finding one-self. Throughout the book there are helpful and witty footnotes that the 'narrator' has added, making this a wonderful book to read.

I really enjoyed this book...I can see the transition into a new generation of characters emerging in this series. I am liking Martin, Brendan, Hal and young Hawkins as they begin to emerge. The evolution of Child fascinates me as well. So when is the next book due Mr. Feist????

I'm going to have to think more about this one. I just finished reading it, and while I think I enjoyed it, I also had a very difficult time getting into it and following the path the story followed.
I love history, I love books about history. Great first hand account of WWI.

I found myself reflecting on Paul's struggles. About being gay and trying to be faithful. About trying to adhere to a faith while at the same time having members of that faith turn on you. I liked the book for what it evaluates. I was somewhat disappointed that so much is unresolved at the end of the book, but then I realized that the ending is appropriate since the Mormon church remains conflicted about the whole issue. I would like to see another novel continuing Paul's story.
