This is a epic you cant miss, even if it isn't in the genre that you normally read. This series is captivation-every last one in the series. Jean Auel's writting is so fluid, you forget your reading a book and are there. My favorite series! Don't miss this one.

I read this when I was a teenager and have yet to find a book with a heroine that I cared as much for. This is an AWESOME story. The author's follow up books weren't as good as this one. In fact, after book 2 (Valley of the horses), the rest of the series reads more like romance novels. I'll still devotedly continue to read them because I care so much about Ayla.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. The author has done an incredible amount of research into prehistoric times, and it shows. Warning: this book will catch your interest and never let you go, and once you read it, you'll want to read the whole series.

I wasn't sure I would be into this genre of novel at first, but needing something to read, I tried it and found that I couldn't put it down! I found myself feeling like I was in the novel itself and I became so addicted and emotionaly involved, that I couldn't put it down. I finished it in two days! The author did an excelent job with making a connection with readers and the books characters. There arn't any dull moments in the novel, making it a very unique and page-turning story.

My mom tried to get me to read this book when I was in the 4th grade, but I wouldn't. She kept trying, but it wasn't until I stumbled on it at a used bookstore when in college that I started it. But once I started it, I couldn't put it down. I ran back to pick up the sequels before the bookstore closed, but other than that.. I didn't stop reading until I'd finished all 4 books (5 was not yet released at the time). Since then, I've reread this book at least once a year.
