I'm out, I quit. What a load of shit. I'm actually quite angry at the moment. This is a series I have read over and over and have come to admire. This tripe does not belong with that series. THIS IS RUBBISH, it is crap, it should never have been released.The amount of spelling and grammatical errors...

I've read the entire series and this book left me disappointed. There were parts that had a little too much description, some of it not necessary. My biggest challenge with it is the ending. It not only felt rushed, but the behaviors that took place for some of the characters, Ayla, Jondalar and ...

Cross-posted at ReaderlingGood lord. This was paiiiiinful. So painful that I couldn't get through more than 200 pages, and only that while skimming pretty heavily. Oh, Ayla, I am disappoint. You don't get to book 6 of a long, decreasingly satisfactory book series without being a partisan, and I was ...

This was really tedious with all the repetitions both within and from previous books. I don't mind detail of world building and everyday life; I like that in this series overall, but nobody needs to be told events that happened previously again and again. An editor should have cut a lot of this.

The only reason I didn't give this a 1 is because I loved this series so much that it would physically hurt to shun it completely. Honestly, this was book so boring and awful that I could barely read it. I skipped over loads of pages in the middle and I just didn't get what was going on, not that I ...

this is a hard one to review for me. i'll try to do the book separately from the series.this has gotten a ton of terrible reviews, and while i don't technically disagree with most of what the negative reviewers write, i do think that, unfortunately, this book isn't too appreciably worse than the ot...

The Shelters of Stone (book 5) wasn't great and I didn't expect this one to be any better, but I needed to complete this series that I started so long ago. I guess what's most disappointing is that so many potential story lines introduced in the series were never followed through. We never find out ...

I just feel sorry for those people who read this series from it's beginnings just to have it end this way. I can't believe she diverted from her premise this badly just to describe a vacation to see the painted caves. She could have went in so many directions, some I had been anticipating that nev...

Wow. So, I know I'm going to do a full Trashy Tuesday write up on this one in a few weeks, but I feel the need to jot down some thoughts on it while this...whatever it was is fresh in my mind.First off, I'd like to say that I give MAD props to Jean M Auel for finishing this series at her age. HOWE...

Well, maybe two and a half stars. Repetitive in the worst way. At various points I wondered if I had read ahead, because it seemed that I was rereading something. I was, in fact, rereading, because she repeats the same damn stuff over and over and then, over again. By the time I got to where th...
