I first got hooked on this series over 22 years ago, and read the first 3 novels in about 3 weeks. I waited and waited for the next book to come out, knowing the author does massive background, anthropological and historical research for each book. I finally gave up looking. Then a few weeks ago, while in Half-Price book store, I saw this novel on CD for sale. Even at Half-Price Books, it was to "rich" for my liking, but I raced over to the print section and found a nice copy there. A few days later, while cruising eBay, I decided to look there. I found it, and bought it there for half again the price I saw at the used book store, and these CD's are NEW! After rearranging my stereo (and big CD player) in to my computer room, I started listening while reading email, etc. I am only as far as disk 5, of 27 hours of disks. This is the first major book I've tried listening too like this. Wasn't sure I'd like it, with only 1 reader and so many varied characters, but the reader is quite a talented voice. I'm not sure if it's the format or the novel itself, or how long it's been since I read the first 3, but I'm finding I am not as obsessed with this book as I was with the first 3. Since I DO have the hard back version too, I may try switching back & forth between them to see which form I like better. With the occasional sex sceens, I don't think I'll try listening to this on the road.Read full review
Wonderful story. Jean Auel has created a true masterpiece with her "Children of the Earth" series. I have listened to the book and also read the paper verision. Both equally good!

I've read 2 of Ms Uel's books in this series and they were great. Anxious to hear this book in audible format.

I read the whole series about 5 years ago. Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed this CD version. It had been long enough that it was like a brand new book to me. The research that was put into this work was immediately apparent. It was as if you were listening to an historical novel, not a fictional one. Flowed well and kept my interest, I actually listened to it twice. Dot
