Editorial Review:
Once again Jean M. Auel opens the door of a time long past to reveal an age of wonder and danger at the dawn of the modern human race. With all the consummate storytelling artistry and vivid authenticity she brought to The Clan of the Cave Bear and its sequel, The Valley of Horses, Jean M. Auel continues the breathtaking epic journey of the woman called Ayla. Riding Whinney with Jondalar, the man she loves, and followed by the mare’s colt, Ayla ventures into the land of the Mamutoi--the Mammoth Hunters. She has finally found the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their different customs and language, she is adopted because of her remarkable hunting ability, singular healing skills, and uncanny fire-making technique. Bringing back the single pup of a lone wolf she has killed, Ayla shows the way she tames animals. She finds women friends and painful memories of the Clan she left behind, and meets Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory, whom she cannot refuse--inciting Jondalar to a fierce jealousy that he tries to control by avoiding her. Unfamiliar with the ways of the Others, Ayla misunderstands, and thinking Jondalar no longer loves her, she turns more to Ranec. Throughout the icy winter the tension mounts, but warming weather will bring the great mammoth hunt and the mating rituals of the Summer Meeting, when Ayla must choose to remain with Ranec and the Mamutoi, or to follow Jondalar on a long journey into an unknown future.

Rating:  - THE MAMOTH HUNTERS
I'm enjoying this audio book very much. It's the 3rd in the series, and is as good as the two previous books.

Rating:  - Auel maintains the fantasy
Many reviews have already been written about this book, I'll just add that Jean Auel has done a good job of maintaining the fictional prehistoric world. I especially enjoy reading about the food, clothing, and rituals. I know it's pure fiction, but its still fun to enter that world.
Rating: - awesome
I just don't understand why this book is getting bad reviews. It's part three and so I've taken parts one and two into account. Part one was so full of misery for the main character (Ayla) and Auel balances this up by having a book of misery for her partner Jondalar. Also, in this book she gets some reward for the misery she has suffered in previous books. Her partnership with Jondalar is threatened by Ranec who is, like him or not, a great character. As is Frebec, Talut, Rydag, Mamut etc. So many ... Read More
