I've been waiting so long for this book to come out and then longer still to find it cheap which I did at the rummage sale in Winnetka this morning. Sweet. Can't wait to get back to Ayla and Jondalar's story.

8/20 Update: Oh, my goodness! I forgot how great this series was. The book was fantastic. I love Ayla and Jondolar's relationship! I even want to go back and reread the earlier books, especially Valley of the Horses and the Mammoth Hunters. Too bad I already released the copies I had... oh well... I'll just have to be on the lookout. I never reread books, but I'm going to have to make an exception in this case, even if they are 900 pages long!

RELEASE NOTES:

Handed off to Anne-girl80.

Thanks for the book JCM. IF you ever want to reread the first books, I have them on my shelf!

I have to admit I was v ery disappointed by this book in the Earth Children Series. Ms. Auel added very little to the story line in the 800+ pages of this book. It was basically a retelling of the lessons learned and adventures experienced in the first 3 books. Of course, when you are reading a series you want to complete it, so although I am disappointed, I would have read it regardless of others opinions.

RELEASE NOTES:

I'm sending this book to ManyBlessings in Canada. I hope she enjoys.

Thanks to Anne-girl80 for sending on this book, I'm really looking forward to reading it!

Another great page turner in the Earth's Children series! The book was much better than I expected based on other reviewers. I thought this was the last book but it appears that there is one more coming, I can't wait!
