Jean Auel spends years researching her books to make them as realistic as she can. The starter story in a series of six books, this tells the beginning story of a young girl named Ayla. Ayla is raised by what we may commonly refer to as 'cavemen'. The way Jean tells the story makes it so plausible. The research she has done on the early people shows through her words. The differences in early people vrs. the people of today are profound. She keeps you riveted until the very end.

It was done so very well. i could connect with the characters. It gave me more of an understanding of our early ancestors. It was not only a cultural difference but shows how we have evolved and adapted as a people.
