Summary: Fifth book!
Review: The author planned to write six books in the Earth's Children series, and I hope she sticks with the plan. However, I wanted to answer the question about which everyone seems to be confused--the fifth book. Its title is **SHELTERS OF STONE** ... . Anyway, the first four books are not only completely absorbing plotwise, but Ms. Auel's obvious research into the history of the periods about which she writes adds to the value of reading her books. Don't wait! Read the first four as soon as possible--at least in time to get a copy of her unpublished paperback.

Summary: The author is fantastic, great research, sound premise.
Review: I have read everything written by this author. I enjoy historical fiction and this comes as close to filling that requirement as any I have read. The only flaw is there is no history to cross check. The research done by the author in anthropology, archeaology, paleantology to mention a few is outstanding. I am anxiously waiting for the fifth (5th) book. I also hope that Ms. Auel settles the feud with the movie folks. I would like to see this series on the screen, done a little more closely to the book than Clan was done.

Summary: please finesh the series soon
Review: the clan of the cave bear lay around our house for several years. i passed it by many times thinking it would not be my kind of book. at last due to the urging of my wife i began to read clan of the cave bear! from that time until i had completed all five of the books in the earths children series,i absolutly could not put them down.i have read many book series. but never have i been carried away so by an author.the depth of auels research will pull at a very primitive and forgotin place in your being.however i must warn you! when you have completed the series thus far the knowledge of the as yet unwriten or at least unpublished climax to this series will leave you feeling incomplete!! so please Miss Auel finesh the series soon

Summary: Absolutely brilliant. Couldn't put it down.
Review: Clan of the cave bear. This book & the following three in the series, would have to be four of the best books I have ever read. I was quite upset when I finished the last of the four that I know of. I was wondering if anyone
could tell me if that was the last of them.

Summary: The Earth's Children series
Review: Each book does as promised, stand alone, and also as part of the larger story it melds into a great whole. I waited impatiently for each book as it came out, and because of the many years wait for The Shelters Of Stone, I was somewhat dissappointed in the book, because in my opinion all it really did was do a further buildup for the final book in the series, and I am so afraid that there will be another extended waiting period and let-down, but over-all I have to give the series a huge thumbs up and say that this series is definately part of my "Keeper" and "Re-readable" list and is now part of my personal Library.

Summary: Earth's Children
Review: I've loved these books since I first began Clan of the Cave Bear my freshman year of high school. I, like the rest of the reviewers, have been anxiously awaiting the fifth book. When I inquired about it at my local Waldenbooks, the salesman checked on his computer and told me that he had no listings for Jean Auel until 2001... then again, when I asked it was 2000. The date for its release seems to keep getting pushed back. So nobody, apparently not even Jean's son, knows when the fifth book will be published.p.s. The fourth book is called Plains of Passage and it can be found at most bookstores.

Summary: Review -All 4 books by Jean Auel
Review: All four books are excellent reading. I have a personal copy of all four. The research work carried out by her right from the prehistoric times is indeed worth mentioning. We have left Ayla just in front of Joandalar's home, when are we going to get the next book? I am waiting rather anxiously for it. Hope Jean Auel does not dissapoint us any longer.
