The Mammoth Hunters by Jean M. Auel, third in series
Ayla and a her lover, Jondalar, meet a group of Mamutoi, (Mammoth Hunters.) The village huts are cleverly constructed of mammoth bones,(based on factual archaeological discoveries.) For a time, the couple live within the Lion Camp of the Mamutoi.
Old Mamut, the camp's eldest shaman and the leader of the entire Mamutoi priesthood, realizing Ayla's rare affinity with horses and wolves, begins to introduce her into the ranks of the Mamuti....more

This has been my least favorite out of the Earths Children series, although I find it hard to dislike any of the books.
The love story in this one starts out strong, and by the time you get half way through, you are so sick of the misunderstandings and hurt feelings that you feel no one could be that stupid about love.
For some reason, both of the main characters bothered me to some degree in this book. Aside from the love story being obnoxious, you half expect that Jondolar has reverted back ...more

the third in the Clan series, and she still has me hooked. in this installment, Ayla and Jondalar decide to move into civilization, which is a new experience for Ayla (having only lived with the Clan and her animals). She learns the meaning of predujice and learns to keep her ideas flexible and be understanding of others, even when they are not understanding of her. She really is a profound heroine...almost too perfect, if you ask me. But i love her spirit and independence, that she can be m...more

People who read the first two and haven't had enough yet
I would consider myself a fan of the series now, so I enjoyed the book in the sense that it was more - more of the stories, more of the characters I've grown attached to, etc. But in all honesty I felt it lacked the literary soul of the first book and the novelty of the second. Auel wrote this book with the practiced style of one who knows how to please a following of the type of readers who, nowadays, would probably spend the time between books reading and writing huge amounts of sexually cha...more

oh wow. I read this book a while a go.
That wow is not an amazing wow. It's more a wow to the number of repetitive s.e.x. scenes there was.
Every single time there's a sex scene, it lasts for about 1-2 pages, the description is almost always the same. You get pretty numb and bored reading it, eventually I just skip it.
I'm quite disappointed by this book in the series. Clan of the Cave Bear is one of my favorite books, but its sequel does not match up at all.

History buffs, and lovers of love
This book was eclectic with culture... Ayla's first time with a cave of the Others. And although you feel frustrated for the main couple who can't seem to communicate through its entirety... it's certainly easy to relate to in my own relationships. Ask yourself, how many times have you had a misunderstanding with a loved one that went on for what seemed eternity? A very enjoyable read, full of ceremonies, visits to the spirit world, dreams, and filled with anguish. My heart was stolen by the mix...more

Holy smokes! I just feel awful that someone that I loved so much, Ayla in the Clan of the Cave Bear, could be so weak and dependent on a man. For goodness sakes Ayla, you could handle Broud the rapist caveman, why can't you handle a jealous control freak like Jondalar.
I give this book two stars because.. well I dont even know. I think I feel like if it was only one star I wouldnt have read all 700 bloated pages of it. Something must have been good?

This is my third time reading this book but I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time I read it. I enjoyed seeing Alya's first time with the "Camp" of Mamutoi, (Mammoth Hunters) I enjoyed seeing how much she started feeling like she had a home. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the tools, every dishes and clothing they used. I did at times get frustrated with Jondalar and Ayla's miscommunications/misunderstandings but I felt it allowed the story to develop in other interes...more

I have a huge Love hate relationship with these books. The author repeats herself over and over again; she treats the reader like they're stupid and cannot remember a thing. In fact I believe any good editor could cut these books down by hundreds of pages. Yet, this series is addicting. The first one is by far the best but be prepared to be sucked in - if you read the first you will want to read them all.

I was excited about getting into the third installment. It started out very well. Once again, you are learning about what life was like back in those days. There is quite a bit of details thrown in about how structures were built or certain rituals were held, just as in the first two books. I was a bit frustrated with the whole love thing between Ayla and Jondalar. I think it was taken a bit too far.

Okay, now I am caught up with where I was in seventh grade...
It was about what I remembered, fair, not great, historically disastrous, but written with enough feeling to make me care about the characters.
I had to laugh out loud when I was on the part of the acknowledgements where she goes SO far in detail trying to say how well researched the historical aspects were... Okay lady... I liked the book, but I wasnt born yesterday.... I suppose she thinks we actually landed on the moon too.....more

The third book in the Earth's Children series. This one picks up where Valley of the Horses leaves off, and follows Ayla and Jondalar as they meet a tribe of Mamoth Hunters. Ayla is faced with some tough choices as she learns how to assimilate with the new people. I did not like this as much as I liked the last book, but I liked it well enough to read it more than once.

Woohoo, A Feel Good Book
You have to look at the string of "humanity sucks" books that I've read recently to understand the subject line. This book has a funny combination of interesting tidbits about how life might have been 30,000 years ago, goofy generally good hearted characters, and cheesy plot lines (the scene with Baby was just too silly).

Although I didn't realize it at the time, I was reading my first romance novel.
The series goes from a portrayal of anthropological culture to a woman's fantasy book. Aside from plentiful sex with different men, the beautiful star goes from inventing the sling shot and domesticating animals, to inventing the sewing needle and the internet.

This book could have been much shorter and I probably would have enjoyed it more! Is she getting paid per word? ha. The characters became more weak and aggravating, their silly storylines were drawn on for far too long. Still, it was somewhat enjoyable, but I don't know if I want to continue reading this series (I'm taking a break!) ha.

I gave this book only 3 stars because it wasn't my favorite in the series. I did enjoy the book though. I just didn't care for the sadness and depression that Ayla and Jondylar go through.
The book is very interesting and detailed. It almost feels as if you are there living that life and seeing it as it happens.

this author is very talented in placing moods and feelings into her writing. in this book, she kept my interest in the main characters by introducing new characters, and created friction and confusion and of course, love, between ayla and her friends.
if you've read the 1st two books, pick this one up for sure.

Again, to continue the series was natural. I already owned these books and I finally got around to reading them (with my dad's recommendation). Ayla is introduced to a new group of people and is able to learn more about herself and choosing what she wants. Great book with explicit parts. For Adults Only!

This is a guilty read--a bit of a romance novel set in prehistoric times. Yes, I'm a nerd... But I admit that this book was a page turner. It is the third book in the trilogy, and I haven't read the first two yet. But they are supposedly even better than this one.
