This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.

Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

Their goal is the Cro-Magnon settlement in what is now southern France where Jondalar lived as a young man.

Defiantly better than the 3rd
An interesting journey with some action, and written with a good flow, tho some repeating in not just the book itself, but also some catching up from the previous books (which is good if there's some time between reading them), but a bit to much if you're binge-reading like I am. Defiantly an improvement from the 3rd. I liked this and bought the 5th book in the series.

Getting a bit repetitive!
After listening with such pleasure to all these books,(I still have 1 to go) I'm finding the love scenes too repetitive, and some of the landscapes repetitive also. To the point that I run the book forward at times, and am not as keen to start the next one. Such a shame because I think the stories are brilliant and wonderfully descriptive. Just feel they are being padded out to justify another book!

Repetitive
I’ve been enjoying these books, but they are getting rather repetitive now. If you’re this far into the series, chances are you know about her upbringing, we don’t need reminding all the time. Also, can’t believe I’m saying this, but even the sex is getting in my nerves now! Will finish the series out of curiosity, but I feel like the quality has gone down with each book.

Clan of the Cave Bear 4: Wolf Proves his Worth
The A plot of this book is Jondalar and Ayla travelling back to Jondalar’s home. The B plot is Jondalar finally accepting that Wolf is a worthwhile member of their party and shouldn’t be left behind just because he’s inconvenient. The plots really are that ham fisted. Jondalar continues to be unlikeable and controlling. Ayla remains the most Mary Sue to ever Mary Sue. (So far I think she’s invented the sewing needle, is the first to domesticate horses and wolves, has an almost perfect memory, is a polyglot, an incomparable healer, is stunningly beautiful but thinks she’s ugly, can’t lie, and finally Ayla is the only woman that Jondalar can have sex with without having to hold back.)
Jean M. Auel has clearly researched this series to the nth degree and has built a phenomenally detailed world. I honestly just wish she’d learn to show, not tell and trust the reader a bit more. It gets so frustrating being told the minutiae of how an ecosystem works, how soap is made, how the mother goddess is represented in figurine form across Europe, etc. over and over again.
I’ve finally gotten used to the narrator although she still has weird quirks when it comes to pronunciation (and they change each book). And I still can’t quite get used to a very proper-sounding older lady narrating graphic sex scenes.
Despite all that, I still somehow enjoy these books. I don’t know why or how, except that they’re outstanding at helping me fall asleep at night or providing background noise (when it doesn’t matter if I miss some bits).

Repetitive but still a good listen
I do enjoy these books but I think the repetitiveness really started to frustrate me in this book.
Do these characters have nothing else to say to each other that they just repeat their backgrounds to each other?
At first I thought that she was trying to make each book a stand alone and had to reiterate each book many times, but it just kept happening. I know it’s a long book but I didn’t forget I promise
I did enjoy it though despite that

Great book but not the right narrator
Overall love the story
As always an excessive use of drawn out detail and scene setting, but hey, she certainly did her homework!
The sex scenes get a bit tired too.
During many a waffling ramble I found myself wondering how long the book might actually be if you edited these parts out?
I think the narrator used for this series really isn't the right one. Her accent and the way she reads really feels at odds with the content for me. It changes my sense of the characters, which is distracting and kinda annoying

Dear producer ... do you just det a teader behind a microphone and say..."go do it", or do you pop in occasionally. You have missed several misplaced emphases wihch spoil an otherwise good read.

Too much repeat.
Got tired of the repeat of what happened before in the previous books! Probably would have cut several hours off of listening if it hadn't been repeated. Same with the sex episodes. Same o, same o. Got bored and fast forwarded.
