This series of book fits no other category of books I have read (and enjoyed). When I first was recommended "Clan of the Cave Bear" I thought it sounded like NOTHING I would ever like. Even reading the jacket cover, I thought this would be a book I'll never finish. But I was only maybe 10 or 20 pages into the book and I was hooked! Many kudos to the author on her amazing talent!

I love this series! Did not know there was a new one coming out though. Put them in my school library and only one or two kids have read them. Kids say they are too long! Don't know what they are missing! It's been awhile since I read this though I may have to start over and read all of them!

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon. It comes out on March 27 (or 29) and DH already knows to NOT bother me for the next 2 days.
The fourth one in the series sort of stunk, but Auel picked up the story line again with Shelters of Stone. One of the things I read in an interview is that Ayla will not be reunited with her son Durc. She supposedly finds out what happens with him but never meets him again.
When I have a real downer, I usually skim through these books to help perk me up again.
