The book is quite interesting because of the title and the story which is about researchers telling their story surrounding their discovery and how this will mesh with the story of two lovers who met by chance; that is interesting. It is about different cultures as stated in the review which makes it something to look forward to .

'Official Review: Hunters of the Columbian Mammoth' by Adrian del Valle is a useful synopsis of the contents of the book about early days of human civilization for readers. It has a potent introduction. The point that the use of chants, incantations and even their native language helped to boost the traditional feeling the book has created is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the native language used in the book were also interpreted in English, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the book is good fit for culturally inclined people!

Thanks for the review. I’m curious if this was an easy or quick read for you with the difficulty of the names and descriptions. It sounds like it was intriguing and captivating enough to overlook those challenges. Thanks for the recommendation.

Books that give a proper in-depth representation of a culture are actually rare, but the inconsistent flow is a big turnoff for me. This was a great review.

A historical fiction book that contains chants and incantations sounds unique for me. This one brings ancient stories with love, courage, and discovery. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

It seems to look into the dynamics of man and the natural environment in this period of history. Their relationship is about coexistence and not control and dominance. Congratulations on Book of the Day!!

Thank you for nice review. What an interesting book. But I'm not really enjoy historical fiction that go back too far. And by the wandering detail I would lost my interest to continue in reading.
