About this listen
Leaving the valley of horses with Jondalar, the handsome man she has nursed back to health and come to love, Ayla embarks on a journey that will lead her to the Mamutoi; the Mammoth Hunters. But as she settles into this new life among a people at first strange and disturbingly different, Ayla finds herself irresistibly drawn to Ranec, their master-carver. Ultimately, she is compelled to make a fateful choice between the two men.
Jean Auel's imaginative reconstruction of pre-historic life, rich in detail of language, culture, myth, and ritual, has become a set text in schools and colleges around the world.

Idealistic but highly enjoyable
The story sometimes gets a little too like a Disney film. But the characters are on the whole believable and engaging.

what is a Great Audiobook?
It has to be a a great story! Read by Great narrator who can inflect the right nuances into the story. Aand it has to seemthe right length. Best bit is when Woolf catches Joondaloor.
All these are present in this book

Amazing book!
I love all the Earths Children series...was hooked since the 1st page of Clan of the Cave Bear...but this has always been my favourite! I'll tell uou how good this book is...I must have read and listened to it over 30 times and I still have an emotional response to it. I laugh every time, shout at various characters and ball my eyes out!

not as good as first or second but still very good
There were moments when I was thinking "how much more sophisticated will this cavemen get?" Story is definitely less interesting than first two parts or perhaps just different and less to my liking. Performance still very good.

Engaging
Interesting take on the development of Europeans. I have followed the series from the first book. Beautiful reading. The depiction of Raneke is good without the usual racist undertones. However the notion of blonde hair and blue eyes signifying super intelligence and beauty is hard to ignore.

Half way through the series
Not my favourite of the series because Jondalar is such an idiot in it. Comes to his senses in the end though :)

getting repetitive
So, this has some good points to it but I got rather bored of the filler material; repeating things learnt in book 1 & 2 then the sex scenes that are increasing in quantity to the point of "here we go again" . It started to feel like the quality story telling was being padded too much with both repetition of information & sex. If you want a romance/sex book great but it started to grate as did the obvious ending that was coming.
Otherwise, it was a good story.
Forewarning: I actually returned book 4, the first time I've ever done so having read others in the same series, I listened to 8 hours of absolutely nothing happening other than constant sex & repetition & others I noticed mentioned similar issues of frustration with padding. Its such a shame that Jean M. Auel got lazy in her writing from what was an amazing series.

I’ve read all the books before and new this wasn’t my favourite of them.
It’s a great book brilliantly written and tells soo much. I simply get frustrated by the characters actions in this one, so much unnecessary tension on their behalf.
