The highly anticipated sixth book of Auel's Earth's Children series, "The Land of the Painted Caves" is the culmination fans have been waiting for. Continuing the story of Ayla and Jondalar, Auel combines her brilliant narrative skills and appealing characters with a remarkable re-creation of the way life was lived more than 25,000 years ago.
Reviews
"[T]here is real sweetness in the saga's finale, when Ayla's legacy to the world -- both hers and ours -- is made clear. Myriad things have changed in the last 30,000 years, but the endurance of human love is not one of them."--"Washington Post " "[Auel] does paint a convincing portrait of ancient life. And readers who fell in love with little Ayla will no doubt revel in her prehistoric womanhood."--"People"
"As with her other books, Auel spins her tale with credible dialogue, believable situations and considerable drama. More than that, she deftly creates a whole world, giving a sense of the origins of class, ethnic and cultural differences that alternately divide and fascinate us today. Among modern epic spinners, Auel has few peers."--"Kirkus Reviews" (starred) " ""[T]he millions of readers who have been with Ayla from the start will want to once again lose themselves in the rich prehistoric world Auel conjures and see how this internationally beloved series concludes."--"Booklist"
"[R]eaders who enjoyed the previous volumes will relish the opportunity to re-enter pre-history one last time."--"Publishers Weekly
""[T]he book is compelling and will be in high demand by Auel's fans."--"Library Journal"

I am an avid fan of this series and have read them many times. This last book however, has been a disappointed. Boring, constant references to the previous books, and a repetitive story line. Almost feel like theres another book to come.
a maze ing. this is a very good and descriptive book, this is the 6th book of the series and i recomend that you read the others first. this book isnt very popular but i think that if more people new about it it would be a masive hit. this book is about how live was lived more that 25,000 years ago. great book i recomend it you might even learn a thing or two.
this was a great continuing story but I would reccomend rereading the previous books before starting this one. I found in places that it repeated itself,and given that this is reported to be the last book in this series, the ending was kind of weak, didn't answer any of the questions. maybe that was what Jean M Auel wanted?
