Review: The Inheritors - Lovely book and well worth reading.
Review: Welcome to the beginning of the world - I read this for a second time recently, and the second reading didn't quite live up to the first. I first read it as a sixth-form A level text and remember how vivid the imagery was and recall marvelling at how Golding had written a book about a tribe of pre-language people which felt so visceral and real. On the first reading I remember almost being able to smell the primeval mud and marvelled at the way he described a flight of arrows fired from a competing tribe and other 'new' things, without having a ready-made context or dictionary of language with which to describe them. As I say the second reading didn't quite deliver that same level of resonance, but perhaps my initial reading had grown nostalgically in my imagination in the intervening years and I'm judging it too harshly. I still think it is a brilliantly crafted novel and one of the most inventive contemporary reads around.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Masterful writing but a bit slow
*by A***N on 17 December 2012*

Writing from the mind and perceptions of the last of the Neandertals as the face Homo Sapiens is a challenge few could have mastered as well as this. But for me the narrative moves too slowly. There are nearly 40 pages of description of what two people see whilst they are sitting in a tree. Too slow for me. Felt for the characters, but in the end they didn't come alive for me. Learned a lot though.
