Summary: What is Ms. Auel trying to say ?
Review: This book and indeed all her books after the Clan of the Cave bear fail because of the following reasons :1. Impossible characterization : AYLA and Jondalar are difficult to stomach. They are inventing everything from oral sex, dogs as pets, spear throwers, needles and fire. What will they discover next ? Nuclear power ? 2. Sex, sex and more sex : I guess Ms. Auel's intensive research on that era has proved that the pre-historic man (and woman) had raging hormones and had sex an average of 10 times a day, every day. 3. Botany, Zoology : Too much detailing. Why elaborate so MUCH ! 4. No story : Clan of the Cave bear. Now that was a story. The rest of her novels have been immaculately researched survival guides for the pre-historic man !

Summary: Astonishing, breathtaking and overall amazing.
Review: I have read the entire Earth's Children series eight times and I never cease to be amazed each time I read it. Auel's description of prehistoric life and the adventures of Ayla take my breath away. Never in my whole life have I read anything that captured my attention and my soul as these books have. In my opinion, they have never, and will never, be equaled. I encourage everyone who has not had the privelege of reading this series to promptly run out and buy it. You will not be sorry. My only regret is that the fifth book has not been released yet, but when it is, you can bet I'm going to be first in line to buy it.

Summary: Disappoints
Review: If you read the Clan of the Cave Bear and enjoyed its sensitive protrayal of the clan of a little outsider who is forced to conform to their rules, this book will be a disappointment. After the Clan... most of Jean's books have been prehistoric adult romances with occasional references to plant forms, animal forms etc,

Summary: Best series I have ever read!
Review: I think I am safe in saying that this is one of the best series ever written. No other books have ever drawn me in to the characters or the environment such as these. I venture to say that I became emotionally attached! I have read all of Linda Lay Shuler's books and all of Sue Harrison's. They are good, but fall short compared to Jean. If you know of any other great series, let me know!

Summary: I thought the book was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I have read all of Jane's books and enjoyed each of them tremendously. I hated for them book to end. I am waiting anxiously for her next book. Does anyone know when that might be?? I heard that she was sick - does anyone know? I would and already have recommended her books to my friends and acquaintances.

Summary: This Series Is The BEST
Review: I've read these books so many times too, I'm a real junkie. For anyone who is interested in info about book 5 and the series in general, there are some great web sites out there dedicated solely to Jean M. Auel. earthschildren.com will lead you to other great links.

Summary: This is the weakest link in an otherwise great series
Review: Overall, I really like Jean Auel's series, but I just didn't think her heart was in this fourth book. It basically consisted of 800 pages of plant lore with a few sex scenes scattered throughout. When there actually was plot narrative, I really felt like the author was trying to rush through it so she could get back to plants and sex. Hopefully her fifth book will have the same quality and depth as her first three, rather than a mere continuation of a prehistoric botany lesson.
