Great book, but terrible audiobook

Publisher's Summary
Ayla and Jondalar leave the safety of the lands of the Mammoth Hunters and embark on a seemingly impossible journey across an entire continent. Their goal is the Cro-Magnon settlement in what is now southern France where Jondalar lived as a young man. Accompanied by the half-tame Wolf, the superb stallion, Racer, and the mare, Whinney, they brave both savage enemies and the elemental dangers of weather and terrain in their search for the place that will become Home.
Jean Auel's imaginative reconstruction of pre-historic life, rich in detail of language, culture, myth and ritual, has become a set text in schools and colleges around the world.

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

Adventure filled continuation of Ayla and Jondalar
Another great narration by Rowena Cooper. Ayla and Jondalar set off on their journey back to Jondalar's home. The journey is chock-full of interesting encounters and challenges for the couple. Much better than book 3!

Travel ice age style
This book, together with book’s one and two, are definitely the pick of the bunch. The unbearable drama of book three is thankfully missing. I love her descriptions of the land they are travelling through and the sense of finality after each farewell. The ‘three sisters’ section is interesting but I love all the meetings between the various societies. People complain that Auel repeats herself a lot, and she does, but in the audible version it doesn’t annoy me so much. I only wish jondalar was a hero worthy of Ayla. He isn’t. Unfortunately.

My 3rd favourite
I’m currently reliving the whole series before I get on to the final book. Consistency/editing issues bugged me when I first read these books but more so when you listen to them back to back. Now I’m on to the 5th book (my least favourite) before finally getting to the 6th.
