If we didn't have to focus so much on the mythical status of Ayla and Jondalar and repeat their story over and over, the books would be much shorter and maybe a little more interesting?

I LOVE Auel's descriptions of the spaces and places, the caves and creeks, and how people lived thousands of years ago. Sometimes a little too detailed -- but I certainly didn't know how useful urine could be until this book.... :-)

This is the 3rd book in Jean Auel's Earth's Children series. In this book, Ayla and Jondalar live with the Mamutoi, the Mammoth Hunters. There are lots of details about how ancient peoples lived which I found fascinating. Auel's patient and exhaustive research makes this book especially compelling. On a side note, I found Jondalar to be quite annoying in this book, but he redeems himself at the very end. A terrific read!

The series started to get lost in repetitiveness in this one.
