Jean Auel – The Land of Painted Caves – give it a miss

The Land of Painted Caves: A Novel (Earth's Children)

When the first 5 books in this series came out many years ago, I read and enjoyed them all – the first one was “The Clan of the Cave Bear”.  But almost 30 years later, this last one is a big disappointment.  It just didn’t grab me at all.  Unless you are an Auel freak, don’t waste your money on it.  Publishers Weekly described it as over long and under plotted.  I think they were being kind.
