Rating: Summary: Don't miss this book!!! It's great! Review: I loved all 4 of these books!!! I have been waiting 12 years for the 5th book to come out and have in the mean-time re-read them over and over, collected first addition copies and created an online discussion group to talk about them, the Summer Meetings that other fans are starting in different regions, and other book related aspects of life, including cooking like the characters in the books!!! I recomend for EVERYONE to read them, expesially young women! I read them at the age of 13 and Ayla gives a great example of what a strong independant woman is!!
Rating: Summary: its like stone age heroin...highly addictive Review: I first discovered this wonderful novel in a old book store a few years ago. Once I opened the first page and read a few lines I knew I was hooked. Since then I had the joy of reading all the books currently published by Ms. Auel and they have all been a delight to read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
Rating: Summary: The details in this book will blow your mind. Review: I loved this book so much. Ayla is sure to be a classic in liturature to come in the next decade or so. She is a great role modle. I think this woman has major courage! If this is your first book in the series, keep reading it's worth the time and effort, I promise!
Rating: Summary: Very Good, But Not For Immature Children Review: This was an excellent book, probably my favorite of the first four. I read it when I was 11 years old, and have re-read it so many times the book is practically destroyed. However, this book, while I as a 6th grader enjoyed it, is not for the immature child. Think carefully before you tell anyone about the series, especially your child, because it contains a few explicit scenes, which increase as the books go on. Another word of advice- if you don't like a lot of details in a book, don't read this, because the author details surroundings and histories frequently. However, I thought the details were fascinating. Jean Auel is a wonderful writer, and I eagerly await the fifth book.
Rating: Summary: Captivating and Engrossing Review: When I first picked up this book (some 8 years ago) I was initially put off by the thickness of it. But once I started reading I was totally hooked. The strong, self-assured and intellegent female character was truely refreshing. I have given this book to my sisters and to several friends. And whenever I get into a discussion about 'good books' this is one of the books I bring up and strongly encourage every I know to read. Today I have come to shop for this book so that I might send it to a pen-pal in West Africa. He wants me to send him books that will assist him in speaking better english. And this was the first book I thouht to send him. Well that and a dictionary. Thanks to Jean Auel for writing such a great novel.
Rating: Summary: ayla: our world's first super-hero Review: When I first began The Clan of the Cave Bear I gave up in the middle of the first chapter, felt it was too feministic. Then I began again & found this & the next three to be some of the best reading I've ever done. Please let us know when we can see book five!!! Creb lives!!!
Rating: Summary: An exquisitely written adventure! Review: I have read these books to the point of wearing out my paperbacks. Ayla is the role model I never had as a young girl and sets a high standard for all of us to attain. I was completely transported to a different place and time while I read each story and felt drawn toward these marvelously written characters. I am so anxious for Ms. Auel's next creation I cannot pass a bookstore, anywhere, without checking to see if it's in yet. Please hurry, Jean!
Rating: Summary: Once is just never enough Review: I have read the Earth's Children series more than once and will read it again once the fifth book comes out. What I like about this series is the fact that each book is relatively stand alone in understanding the characters. You could easily pick up The Plains Of Passage and get a fair sense of what has happened to Ayla and Jondalar. I am very happy that the fifth book will be released soon...I just wish we knew when.
Rating: Summary: 5 Review: love the book when is the 5 one coming to store
Rating: Summary: A BOOK WORTH GETTING!!!! Review: I first read "Clan of the Cave Bear" shortly after the movie came about (quite a few years ago). I liked the movie, so I said let's read the book. Well one of Jean Auel's books lead to the next and than the next one. I am proud to say I have read all of the Earth Children's sagas, and can't wait for the next one. I want to find out what happened to Aya and the rest of the characters. Please, please Jean, come out with another book soon. The wait is killing me!!!
