5.0 out of 5 stars Earth's Children Series, January 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Jean M. Auel (3 Volume Leatherbound Slipcased Edition) (Earth's Children) (Hardcover)

I've read a few of the other reviews and can see that I'm not alone in my feelings toward Ayla and Jondalar's lives. When I read The Clan of the Cave Bear, I went right out to find the next, and was waiting for the next with near anxiety attacks. I've never been drawn into a story as I have in Ayla's life. I even managed to get my hands on the entire series on audio cassettes, and that was a treat! I've been waiting for many years now for the 5th book also, I can't walk past a book store without wondering if it's there yet. I'm a very busy person with the family that I have to raise, so I was somewhat shocked to hear that Jean M. Auel is suffering from cancer. I'm going to say a prayer for her full recovery, not just because of the 5th book, but because she needs all the help she can get. As bad as I want to read that next book, I want her to become well again. If anyone hears anything, please email me. [e-mail]

5.0 out of 5 stars not too young to appreciate the good things, February 10, 2000

I'm 17 and I absolutley love this series. I started reading it in '99 and finished all four within 4 months. My friends think I'm nuts just because I read in my spare time, you should see their faces when I hold up a 600 page book and tell them they should read it. I'm always dreaming about whether or not Ayla had a boy or a girl, or if Whiney had a boy or a girl, or if they are happy with Jondlar's family. The fifth book must come out. It's a matter of one's sanity. Even if the fifth book doesn't make it to the shelves I would like to personally thank Jean M Auel for sharing her story with the world. It made me very happy. Much love, Diana

For the last 4 years I have anxiously awaited the final book in the Earth's Children's saga. I didn't realize that the author, Jean Auel, has been ill. I pray that she will recover and be back writing again. Her books have swept me and all my emotions along, and has given me a sense of history as well. I highly recommend this series.
