5.0�toiles sur 5 Fantastic viewpoint of a world we can only dream of, Jui 6 2002

Par	Joel Allen Epstein "joel1701e" (Wellington, Florida, United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I thoroughly have enjoyed all five of the current books and I can not wait for the conclusions in number 6.

If you enjoy reading fictionalised history with a romatic flair these books are for you.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Steadily declining literary value, F�v 4 2002

Par	"royv57" (Salt Lake City, UT) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I think this collection of reviews needs another voice of reason to balance out the gushing hyperbole coming from the average reader. Either my standards (and the standards of the few other reasoning online reviewers) are way too high, or the standards of the average online reviewer are way too low. At any rate, I found the first book in this series to be quite good, and would agree with the other reviewers in that it deserves considerable praise for its detailed research and the obvious effort and care that the author invested in its content. The second book was good as well, although it lacked the originality and fresh appeal of the first one. From that point on, however, the series entered a steady and dramatic decline in literary content, finally falling to the point of being nothing more than an exploration into the sexual and emotional neurosis of imaginary primitive peoples. The later books contain more emotional dysfunction than you would see in a textbook on abnormal psychology, and more sexual situations than you'd see in a cheesy porn novel. In fact, I would agree with a previous reviewer in describing the later books as being comparable to thinly veiled pornography. I knew this series was doomed (in terms of redeeming literary value; these are successful books despite their obvious flaws...or perhaps because of them) when I picked up a copy of The Plains of Passage in a bookstore, and found that when I picked a number of random pages throughout the book, there were sex/love scenes in virtually every one. I found it almost embarrassing to read the later books because I felt as though I was intruding into the private sexual fantasies of the author. Aficionados of lurid romance novels will find these books highly gratifying, but people with even a mariginal appreciation for balanced and well-written books will find the psychological and sexual tangents to be quite distracting. The other major flaw in this series is the highly improbable and thoroughly unbelievable premise that one woman was responsible for all those amazing and revolutionary inventions, which in realistic historical terms probably took millenia to be discovered. It is a shame, even tragic, that these books had to take the route of cheap thrills to entertain the masses when the first installment embodied so much promise of a great series of substantial and well-executed historical novels. I gave this series two stars instead of just one because the first book (and the second one to a lesser extent) was good and deserves some praise. But the rest of them....highly disappointing and not worth serious reading.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A Beautiful Collector's Edition. Truly Special!!, Nov. 9 2001

Par	Carla J. Schultz "kayceygirl" (Albuquerque, NM) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I must admit, I didn't purchase this set to read. I purchased this set out of my great revernce and awe for the impact that these novels by Jean M. Auel have had on my life, both as a human and a woman. They are a beautiful and worthy tribute to the greatness and impact of these novels on the women of the United States and all over the world. Read the paperback editions. Look at this collector's edition with the eyes of remembrance for the girl Ayla in all of us.

The writer has done an excellent job writing those books, because you can read them as a series but you can also start in the middle, with second, or thirth book of the series. Read more

I was so enthralled with Mrs. Auel's first two books that it was hard waiting for her third, so I hold off reading The Plains of Passage until she wrote her 5th. Read more
