Ms Auel, there are some things I’d like to talk to you about. Be warned I’m quite angry because I keep reading your books for some bizarre reason and I cringe and tear my hair out in despair. See, you had a good story there – a little Cro-Magnon orphan girl found and raised by Neanderthals. I didn’t...

just over 4 stars, i guess. i probably really shouldn't write this review right now because i just finished the book a few minutes ago and i'm a little staggered by the very end. it's a little hard for me to review anyway, but here we go. cons first. it's well written but nothing exceptional. i...

Historical fiction is a genre I try to avoid as much as I can. It's just not my cup of tea. This book was different. I wanted to read it and see whether I'd like it or not.

Well, it wasn't bad and it kept me reading till the end, but I just didn't really care that much. Unless I'm really bored, I don't think I'll read the rest of the series.

Don't judge this book by the Movie with Daryl Hanna. It is so much better. To me, it is a start on giving insight on why present day people are superstitious or why myths were invented and why religion is a big part of most of the world. I'm on the third book in the series (Earth's Children) The ...

Anthropology has always interested me. In college, I earned a degree in Anthropological Sciences, studying subjects like paleoanthropology, archaeology, primatology as well as as hunting-gathering societies and human culture. It was this interest that led me to the Earth's Children series, when I re...
