Book Reviews of The Plains of Passage (Earth's Children, Book Four)Book Review: Another fine Ice Age epic Summary: 5 Stars
This fourth in Jean Auel's Earth's Children series depicts the journey of Ayla and Jondalar (with their horses and Wolf) to the home of Jondalar's people in what is now the Dordogne in France. It is exciting, philosophical, informative and romantic. Theirs is an epic journey across hard and dangerous glacial terrain, in which they come across other Cro-Magnon settlements as well as Neanderthals. The interactions between Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals, and between Man and other Ice Age animal life illustrate graphically the destructive potential of our most "intelligent" of species. Jean Auel's research is so thorough that it is easy to believe that everything she writes COULD have happened. I have totally loved all the books and I very much hope that Auel will produce another one soon, so I can continue to share the wonderful Ayla's experiences
Book Review: continuous praise Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing to write an excellent book. Outstanding to write a series of excellent books. This latest one in the continuing series of "Earth's Children", doesn't disappoint. Can;t wait to read the next in the series.
Book Review: Intriguing but NOT for children Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome research of this time period. Description of daily life very vivid. Sexual content is NOT for children, though describes a unique view of family life. Ayla is one of my favorite women who can do anything!
