The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children, #1)The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the review I wrote for the Kindle version of this book. Since I listened to this one while reading from the Kindle version, I feel this should get a review as well.

***

I had this book, the hardback copy, for a long time. I had heard it was a good read, but the book was so heavy I never picked it up to read. I sold my copy. Downloaded as a Kindle copy, and it became a simple read. I, also. Downloaded the Audible version to listen to as I read. The voice of Sandra Burr was melodic and kept my interest, even when my eyes got tired.

This is deep enough that I must continue into the next book: The Valley of the Horses. I already downloaded it so that my memory of the end of the last book will fade. I will not say more than that for fear of committing a spoiler.

Glad I will now own this so I can go back and re-read it sometime.

I just finished re-listening/reading this first book. I have to admit it was as good as the first time I was immersed in the story. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. If you have read it, it is worth the reread!

Nobody floundered as much as the first humans. Can you imagine all the things they had to learn? We stand on their shoulders.


Thicker than Water: A MemoirThicker than Water: A Memoir by Kerry Washington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t normally like to rate memoirs. It seems unfair as it is the story of that person’s life. But in this case, I truly enjoyed Kerry Washington’s reading and her story.

As much as I would love that rating to go to her life experience, it is more how I felt as she read about her love of swimming. I related to that love so much. Even her words and voice portrayed that great love and how, in the end, that helped her and her family find their way. I don’t want to give anything away. Hopefully, that much isn’t a spoiler.

Her voice is strong and full of life as she tells her story. I felt so much like I was having a cup of coffee or sitting in the spa after a good batch of laps.

Libby is one of the greatest inventions ever! It is through them that I can read so many books. Yes, there is still the due date to make you read faster, but it is still a way to read a lot when you haven’t a lot of money to buy each and every book you want to read. That was how I read this book. It is worth buying if only for the poetry Kerry gives to living. And swimming.

When you flounder in life, it is nice to find others to see how they handle their floundering. In Ms. Washington’s book, you see a lot of floundering as she learns about her life.
