Hominids by Robert J. Sawyer
4.0
A pretty unique take on the "fish out of water" story.
I was impressed by the amount of research that went into this book (even though it's not all accurate, having been written over a decade ago), and the differences between human and Neanderthal culture and biology made for an intriguing read.
That being said, there were a few story elements that didn't quite sit right with me (*THAT* scene during Mary's introduction immediately comes to mind..) though overall I didn't feel that they detracted from the story enough to make it unenjoyable. I'll certainly be reading the sequels at some point.
