A beautiful tapestry of an ancient almost mythic world

is presented in this captivating story. I was truly enamored by her tedious attention to detail. Every little aspect was carefully crafted, making the world come alive in the most vivid way. Her wonderful imagery was like a magical spell that transported me into this enchanting realm. The gift for capturing the people was equally remarkable. Each character had their own unique personality and charm, making them easy to relate to and care about. I was completely sucked into the world of Aylah and the Clan and the Others. It was as if I was right there with them, experiencing their joys and sorrows. This is a deeply moving adventure that will stay with me for a long time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series back in the 80s when it first came out.

We eagerly looked forward to the next installment and passed the book around the pharmacy.

Recently, I recommended it to my 11-year-old granddaughter and thought I should review it.

The audiobook is 24 hours long, and I would almost classify it as a young adult book.

However, I'm not sure if I will go on and listen to any more.

Perhaps I will wait and see if my granddaughter enjoys it as much as I did.

If she does, then maybe I'll be more inclined to continue listening.

Overall, it was a great trip down memory lane to revisit this series.

I hope my granddaughter can have the same kind of enjoyment and connection with the story that I did.

Only time will tell if this classic series will capture her imagination as well.

I stealthily stole this book from my parents' bookshelf when they were out.

Wow! It completely rocked my naive little world as I was still in elementary school.

This book truly hooked me!

Subsequently, I continued to explore the others, of course, all in secret.

I did this until I grew older.

Looking back, that act of stealing the book was a significant moment in my life.

It opened up a new world of knowledge and imagination for me.

Even though it was a naughty thing to do, it led to a passion for reading that has stayed with me ever since.

I am grateful for that moment when I discovered the power of books.

It has shaped my interests and influenced my growth in many ways.

And I will always remember the excitement and wonder that came with that first stolen book.

One of the best book series I have ever read is the Earth's Children series.

The entire series follows the central character, Ayla, as she embarks on a remarkable journey. In a world that is constantly changing, Ayla faces numerous challenges as she tries to find her place.

From the moment she is introduced, readers are drawn into Ayla's story and become invested in her growth and development. The author does an excellent job of creating a vivid and detailed world that comes alive on the page.

Each book in the series builds upon the previous one, adding new layers to the story and further developing the characters. The plot is engaging and full of adventure, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers on the edge of their seats.

I highly recommend this series to anyone and everyone. Whether you are a fan of historical fiction, adventure, or simply a good story, the Earth's Children series has something for everyone. It is a must-read for anyone looking for a captivating and unforgettable reading experience.

I have only read the first one.

It seems quite interesting and has piqued my curiosity.

However, I know that there are others that I need to read as well.

Each one might offer a unique perspective or present new information that could enhance my understanding.

I'm looking forward to delving into the remaining ones and seeing what they have in store.

Maybe there will be some surprises or valuable insights that I haven't anticipated.

I better get started on reading the others soon to satisfy my thirst for knowledge.

Almost a realistic story about Neanderthals coexisting with Cro-Magnons approximately 30,000 years ago. This account offers a truly fascinating and, I am nearly certain, an accurate insight into the elements that molded the progress of humans. It is both engaging and thought-provoking, delving into the complex interactions and dynamics between these two early human species.

What makes this story particularly interesting is its potential to inspire and encourage women. It showcases the strength and capabilities of women in a prehistoric context, highlighting their role in the survival and evolution of the species. However, it is important to note that this story is recommended for adults only. The content may contain themes and concepts that are more suitable for a mature audience.


Overall, this story about Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons offers a unique and valuable perspective on human history. It combines elements of realism, accuracy, and inspiration to create a captivating narrative that is sure to appeal to those interested in the study of human evolution and prehistory.

The first three books in the series are truly excellent. I'm referring to these two particular ones and also "Mammoth Hunters".

However, I would highly recommend that you don't even bother reading the rest of the series. They are absolute garbage. I began reading this series way back in the 1980s.

As time went on, you could clearly notice a significant decline. The ever-increasing length of time between the releases of each new title was a clear sign.

Moreover, the quality of the plot and the dialog also took a nosedive. It was evident that the author had lost her passion for writing this series.

I'm not sure if she got stuck in a contract or something else was the reason, but it was quite obvious that her heart was no longer in it.

Oh, and here's a spoiler for you: they end up living happily ever after. But trust me, you won't really care much about that by the time you get to the later books.

This book is a little slower to read than the first one.

However, it is still an extremely powerful and worthwhile read.

It has the ability to transport you to the third and final ending.

The slower pace might initially seem like a drawback, but it actually allows for a deeper exploration of the story and its characters.

As you progress through the book, you'll find yourself becoming more and more invested in their fates.

The final ending is both satisfying and thought-provoking, leaving you with a sense of closure while also making you reflect on the journey you've just taken.

Overall, this book is a must-read for anyone who enjoyed the first one or is a fan of the genre.

It's a testament to the author's skill and creativity, and is sure to leave a lasting impression on you.

The original article is not provided, so I can't rewrite and expand it specifically. However, I can give you a general example to show you how it might be done.

Let's assume the original article is: "The earth is our home. It is a beautiful planet with diverse landscapes and a rich variety of life. We should take care of it."

Here is the rewritten and expanded version:

The earth is truly our precious home.

It is an incredibly beautiful planet that showcases a remarkable diversity of landscapes, from majestic mountains to vast plains, from lush forests to arid deserts.

Moreover, it is teeming with a rich variety of life forms, each playing an important role in the delicate balance of nature.

We, as the inhabitants of this wonderful planet, have a solemn responsibility to take care of it.

We must strive to protect its environment, conserve its natural resources, and ensure the sustainable development of our society.

Jean Auel has truly done an outstanding job in creating each of the Earth's Children books in such a way that they can stand alone.

This, however, also leads to a significant amount of repetition. If you were to read them in the years they were published, as I initially did, it serves as a pleasant reminder. Nevertheless, if you are reading them in quick succession, as I am currently, it can be rather irritating.

Another aspect that detracts from this series, starting with the second book, is the substantial amount of erotica within the text. My 12-year-old was reading the first one with me, but unfortunately, I cannot allow him to continue due to this. While Ayla's first rites was an appropriate place to include some descriptive sex, the remainder becomes repetitively bothersome and gratuitous at this stage. We understand, Jean.

And finally, an annoyance is that Ayla seems to be an absolute genius, single-handedly making thousands of years' worth of discoveries in just a few short years. Although they are useful in advancing the story and maintaining interest, you really have to suspend your disbelief to accept them. This, unfortunately, pulls you out of the story at least once per chapter.

All things considered, this book is an enjoyable read, and I don't anticipate it to be educational.

A story about a girl who lived 30,000 years ago. Ayla loses her clan due to an earthquake and is rescued by a foreign clan.
Originally, it was a really nice idea for a book. However, after 350 pages, I stopped reading the book.
The story is just too tedious for me and in some parts, it is not exciting enough. Maybe I will try it again later.
In this narrative, we are introduced to the character of Ayla. Her life takes a drastic turn when the earthquake strikes, shattering her world and separating her from her familiar clan. The concept of her being rescued by a foreign clan holds great potential for an interesting and engaging story.
But as I delved deeper into the book, I found myself growing impatient. The pacing of the story felt slow and drawn-out, making it difficult for me to stay fully invested. Some of the scenes seemed to lack the necessary excitement and drama to keep my attention.
Despite my initial disappointment, I still have a glimmer of hope that I might give the book another chance in the future. Maybe with a different mindset or at a different time, I will be able to appreciate the story and its characters more fully.

I absolutely adored this entire series.

It was truly captivating from start to finish.

The storylines were engaging, the characters were well-developed and likable.

I found myself completely immersed in the world that the author had created.

Each book in the series built upon the previous ones, adding new layers and depth to the overall narrative.

I was constantly on the edge of my seat, eager to find out what would happen next.

It's a shame that there aren't more books in this series.

I would have loved to continue following the adventures of the characters and seeing how their stories unfold.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good read.

It's definitely one that will stay with you long after you've finished the last page.
