Earth's Children/Jean Auel fans

[WIChookchick]

I read the 3 chapters that were released.
I find it nice, going a bit more into the known history of paleolithic people.
I didn't like this ONE part...
I wonder if Jean has some one ghost writing the series...

but the First was now realizing how easily Ayla could get distracted.

WHEN has Ayla ever been distracted???She learns and has had to learn so quickly, her life and others have depended on it.
This is a piece of unexplainable crap!!!
this pisses me off!!!
I may not buy the book now.​

Hey, Ayla is getting older. I can relate.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've read those books, I may have to read that last one again. I didn't know she was writing a new one. I will be on the lookout for it.

I have been waiting forever for the next in this series I was beginning to think that the author had passed away. It has been many years since the last book. It will also mean rereading the last couple in the series to get back in the series mindframe.

Not that I will mind ---- in fact-----I can't wait!!!

I can not wait to read the new book! I picked up some of them at a yard sale a couple years ago, and then tracked the rest down and was very sad to learn it was another series I had to wait on. But thank god this is the last book!

But at 74 years old, what if she just drops dead writing the last one?

Actually, the fact that Ayla suddenly has supernatural senses (since when?) and she is the ONLY Pleistocene person who knows how to clean lion claws when she has received a lion claw necklace from the Mamutoi irritates me more.

But, I am willing to give it a shot, warts and all.

I'm actually writing a parody of the Earth's Children series on their fansite, told from the Lanzadonii's point of view. I enjoy doing it, since I can rant about the series and make fun of that God-awful "Mother's Song" from Shelters of Stone.

I want her to be done! I don't want to wait 7 years for another one!

For years I thought the Plains of Passage was THE end. It at least didn't have a bunch of gaping plotholes and loose ends swaying in the breeze.

It wasn't until summer of 2003 that I overheard some lab assistants in the geology lab at the community college I attended talking about Shelters of Stone (and none of what they talked of flattered the book). Yet I still went straight to Bay City Mall to buy it, and was rather disappointed.

Still, I feel like I've grown up with Ayla (many fans of the series do) and I'll follow the series until the end.

Again, just hoping it won't be another 9 years.

I joined paperback swappers and kept trading till I got the series in hardback form! One of these days I keep telling myself that I will have my own library room to display them.There are very few writers of the "caveman" type books. I really enjoy them and glad a new one is coming out.
