Serafina B. (serafina) - reviewed on 2/9/2015 + 6 more book reviews

I came across the last book of this series about 3 months ago at a Library Book Sale & read it before I realized there were 5 Books preceding it! But it was so incredible, so interesting, & so unlike any other book I've read, I was compelled to start at the beginning.
Book 1- The Clan of the Cave Bear is amazing! The author, Mrs. Auel, must have spent years researching because the intense detail is so diverse & covers so many different aspects of the Ice Age- from the people to the many now extinct species of animals. Mrs. Auel's description of the plants, trees, flowers, vegetables, rocks & minerals, etc. are so incredibly vivid, I could actually picture everything from the eyes of Ayla. Reading about the experiences she was able to survive through, & often thrive through, during her life depicts Ayla as a courageous, strong-willed heroine.
At about the half way point, I realized I HAD to continue on with the series and immediately logged onto PBS to request the others. I can't wait to see where the story goes from here!
