5.0 out of 5 stars uncanny and sublime, a masterpiece of magic realism, 26 April 2006
By David Abram - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Reindeer Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
Simply one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. Easily the best invocation of what life may well have been like for our hunting and gathering ancestors, and a stupendous illustration of animistic modes of experience, and of the reciprocity between human beings and the living land. Brilliant insights into the sensorial worlds of other animals -- wolves, mammoths, and others -- as well as into mysteriously beautiful styles of thought and awareness still common among many indigenous, oral peoples. An anthropological and deeply ecological classic -- and yet its a novel! Its not for those who like their nature sentimental and sweet, but if you care about the wild otherness so rapidly dissappearing from our world, don't miss this astonishing book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning - An anthropologically authentic novel, 14 Sep 2007
By John Eyon "Little Raven" (Seattle - USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Reindeer Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a great novel that needs to come with a warning. It's has such an rich and authentic texture that those readers who like to submerge themselves in other cultures might get lost in this and never wholly emerge afterwards.

Anthropologist Elizabeth Thomas Marshall brought her training and field experience to bear in this novel to paint a detailed portrait of the struggles of a Paleolithic nomadic people in what is now Siberia, all seen thru the eyes of a young woman. Marshall also did the unexpected. Starting from Chapter 2, and in alternate chapters, she presented the surrealistic vision of the afterlife that these primitives held. The aggregate is more of a mood piece than an action story. More insightful than heart-pounding.

This is not a Jean Auel-type novel. It's more demanding. It's anthropologically sound. And very haunting.
