Really not good. Most of the book is spent describing the different sacred caves Ayla visits. Pages upon pages of descriptions of cave paintings. And boring sex, too.
Trist, extremt repetativt och utan spänningsmoment av något slag. Besvikelsen är total.
...so *that's* what the whole thing was about? Sheesh.
On the other hand, I've been reading the series for fifteen years, and of course I'm attached, and for some reason I cried like nineteen times while reading this at once mediocre and sadly-final installment.

Well, clearly Ms. Auel put a lot of work and effort into this. BUT...I agree with the other comments. It is such a shame this book wasn't edited well. This could have been an enjoyable book at 250 to 300 pages. As it is, I really can't recommend it.
Thank fuck that is now over.
I’m just going to pretend that the last two books don’t exist and remember the first four with fond nostalgia from reading them as a child.
This was just bad.

Honestly, disappointed that this was the last book in the series. The writing and the viewpoint was nothing like the other ones. There was so much repetition of words I skipped a lot of pages. Not a good time.
I enjoyed this story and was glad to read to the end. This book however could be cut in half and be a better story. How many frigging caves do we need to have described? And how many times do I need to read the Mother Song? I would have rather had to read a 100th page about megaloceros and their antlers, or in depth description of the ice age steppes. I’m glad I read it, and will again some day- but I won’t worry about skipping many parts!

this book just missed me when it came out. But learning of it I was excited to read it. This was not the book I expected.
A book of three parts
part 1 very much like the past books
part 2 the author basically journal's her incredible jpurney into the actual caves that have been found detailing the wonders that were found. Very little about the characters
part 3 this is where it gets angsty, I actually loathed Jondolar which I thought was impossible and it had a pretty bad view of how men would learn to act.
I am still not sure how to deal with this book.

I read the first 200 pages and skipped to the end. Maybe I'll give it another go someday, but it was just too repetitive.
