This is a wonderful series of books from a remarkable author. It follows two characters through their life in the cro-magnon era. Ms Aule has done exhaustive research and the end result is a gripping story which is as accurate as she could possibly make it, with believable characters and situations. I highly recommend these books and this author.

Having read all the other books in this series, I had waited a long time for this final one. After the gripping, innovative first novel, The Clan of the Cave Bear, Jean Auel seems to have pregressively lost her spark over the years. Nothing happenend in this one until about five chapters from the end. It was repetitive and had a 'padded' feel to it. Whenever a conflict was introduced and it seemed that something exciting might develop, it was always resolved within the next couple of pages with no real action. All in all, a bit of a disappointment but those who have read the rest of the series should probably plough through it so they can draw a line under it. I might go back and re-read the first one now, just to remind myself of what was so special!
I first red these books years ago,& thought it was time to read them again. The one I was missing was Painted Caves, I looked & bingo there it was.. Prefect thank you.

I bought this book because it was the last in the Earths Children Saga. Have to say its been lightweight and boringly repetitive. I was looking forward to an exciting finale however....... My advice is skip the painted cave descriptions, skip the tedious introductions/ties of each character, dont try to remember each character as most turn out to be irrelevant. In fact skip to over half way and things pick up a bit and you wont have missed much of relevance. I may be being harsh but I've read some reviews that makes mine look like I think its in line for a Booker Prize. Empty your head and read it if you need to for closure on the series - and then start working out what YOU'd have written to finish the series properly!!
I can’t comment on this book as I haven’t got to it yet, but I’m currently reading the rest of the set and can’t put them down. Amazing details excellent books.
