This book is the first in Michelle Paver's Chronicles Of Ancient Darkness series. So buy this, sit back and just allow Ian's voice lead you into this great story whilst your imagination does the rest. The book is marvellous and everyone should read it.

And this is no disrespect to the Potter series or J K Rowling, as I am a huge fan, but Michelle Paver really has proved herself to be in the big leagues here. I dont understand why it is not in the same league as Harry Potter. I totally recommend this book to everyone. But evil and menacing are apt description in my book. Well I will leave that for you to decide. The friendship that Torak and Wolf cultivate is believable and lovely. The hero, Torak is brave, strong and a real hero. Its as gripping for the adult minds as it is for the childs. '.Torak woke with a jolt from a sleep that he'd never meant to have.' The suspence throughout is thoroughly enthralling. Its opening line alone left you wanting more. I was immediately drawn into the book by Sir Iam Mckellan's great and believable voice.
