Summary: You will FALL IN LOVE with Auel's Ayla!!
Review: You must read this book! I highly, highly recommend it, along with the rest of the Earth Children's Series. You will love these books! Ayla is the strongest, most beautiful, lovable character I have ever confronted in literature. If I could meet any fictional character - it would without a doubt be Ayla. :-) The books are written beautifully as well. Auel does a fabulous job bringing the ice-age to life through breathtaking images and memorable characters. My ONLY complaint in this series is that the sex scenes are ridiculously "too perfect" - Augh. They could definitely be shorter, and there could be fewer of them. (You will not encounter these though, until the later books in the series, if you decide to read on.) I am a little hesitant for the final (6th) book to come out though... the 5th one ended on such a high note, I'm afraid to read on. Eeep.
