This series started out absolutely amazing. I loved every book until this one. I don't want to put in any spoilers, but I found it incredibly tedious and predictable. I could guess everything that was going to happen before it did. The characters used to be well written and rounded, but it really felt like Jean M. Auel dropped the ball on this one. Lengthy descriptions of the caves cover about half of the books and seem to drag on endlessly. It felt like I was reading a bad romance novel in many parts. If you're a fan, prepare yourself for disappointment because this one just wasn't as good as the others.
