The Clan of the Cave Bear, the Valley of Horses, the Mammoth Hunters, the Plains of Passage, The Shelters of Stone (Earth's Children #1-5)
I thought these books were excellent! But the age they are for is ridicules! Should be for a much older audience! Even 18 seems young....the sexual situations are for much older people. It should not be a book on how to pleasure each other. It needs a warning to parents right on the front cover! Historically speaking, the author did a wonderful job. Her descriptions of the areas she was trying the reader to envision were right on.
I read the first 5 of these books years ago. I've purchased the 6th but haven't read it yet. I wanted to go back and read the others again first. However, they are so long, that I doubt I will do it. On the upside, each of the first 5 replay a lot of the previous books to catch you up. I found that annoying as I read them in order, back to back. I understand it a good bit more after waiting 10 years for this last book to come out!The only negative thing that I can say about the first 5 books is
I have read and re-read this series... A lot of times. I think I'm on my fourth run-through, and they're not exactly slim volumes. I could say a lot about them, both good and bad, but like a mother and her own children, I can only love them in spite of and because of their myriad flaws, which serve to highlight what is great about them. There's a strong (I would say too strong, and uncomplicated) female protagonist, though, and that's rare enough to find, especially in historical fiction.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. I began reading it back in '96 as a fourteen year old. Back then only 4 books of the 6 book series had been published. I fell in love with the series immediately and waited patiently until 2002 for the 5th book to finally come out. It was amazing but as always left you wanting more. The good news is that after another decade of waiting, the 6th book, "The Land of Painted Caves" will finally be published on March 29th, 2011.
The only one I didn't fully enjoy was the last - not enough character interaction too much cave description - but the whole rest of the very long series I don't regret one bit

Through out the years I've read almost this entire series. I have yet to finish the final story "The Land of Painted Caves". I have enjoyed the journeys of this young woman Ayla in this series. I enjoyed reading how she lived her life and the people she's met a long the way. She has a unique and forward way of thinking for her time which often other's are perplexed by. I hope others will enjoy this story as I have.I thought these books were excellent! But the age they are for is ridicules! Should be for a much older audience!
