Book Review of The Shelters of Stone (Earth's Children, Bk 5)

The Shelters of Stone (Earth's Children, Bk 5)
caladan avatar reviewed on + 54 more book reviews


The 6th book in Jean Auel's Earth's Children series. This book ranks with Valley of Horses, Mammoth Hunters and Painted Caves as among my favorite. The character development is very well done. The scenery and ambiance are incredible. The inclusion of how they developed tools, animal as allies, and lived off the land are what kept me glued to the stories (I have a list of the herbs on a sticky note attached to the inside back cover for re4ference.)
I reread this entire series every 2 years as I miss the ambiance and enjoy my time in the story so much.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys not only a good story, but also learning something about how people most probably lived long ago. Combining her knowledge as a paleontologist with her impressive writing skills, Ms. Auel makes history come alive!
