One of my favorite series ever, I've read this book 3 times now and still find it fascinating. I love that the author can spin a romance around the culture during this era. It's just informative and beautiful at the same time.

These books are so wonderful, and this is such a well written, thought out series. You can tell how much research went into every one of these books. My all time favorites. Can't wait for the next book in the series!

Excellent. Sweeping tale of love set at the dawn of man - when modern man was on the cusp of transition between pre-historic and a more modern identity. Brilliantly written and worth the long read. You'll learn a lot with these books as well, as they are scrupulously researched.

This has the same broad historical perspective-feel that say, reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series engenders for me...its so richly detailed, though of course the subject matter and setting couldn't be further removed.

This series began, of course, with Clan of the Cave Bear & The Valley of Horses...

Loved the whole series. Big Fan

This is one of the best books in the series besides Clan of the Cave Bear. The story actually moves, unlike the Plains of Passage where you skip endless pages of descriptions of their environment. The love triangle between Ayla, Jondolar, and Ranec is very interesting, especially with the different cultural experiences involved.

I have a version that is Large print and Says it is a book club version. I have read this series before and loved it. However, when I reordered, this version is messed up.it starts on chapter 21 (page 691). That's a lot of missing story! I'm a little disappointed and will be reordering what I hope is a correct copy, since I love this series!

The 3rd in the series and still a wonderful journey. Jean Auel is a masterful storyteller with rich and full characters in a world that is totally believeable. A great book.

This is one of my favorite books, I reread the whole series about every three years or so. When I first read book #1 there was no series, I have read the series every time a new book was published. They are so vivid and real that they are like a wonderful movie in my mind.

I've enjoyed the entire series. It does become a little far-fetched when it appears that Ayla discovers "all" the modern conveniences but it doesn't take anything away from the story or the wonderful writing style

A young woman learns to cope within a new society with people like herself. Her experience with living in a group is very different from the way they live. Expectations of behavior are different. A woman's interaction with a man or men is very different. Eventually, she finds her way.
