almo 's review for:
De Mammoetjagers
by Jean M. Auel
At least a 100 pages could be cut from this book due to mere repetitiveness. Or from using redundant adjectives; Ayla was sad and unhappy. Ayla was excited and exhilarated. It's like the author couldn't make up her mind choosing one, so went with several instead.
Then there's the horrid love story... It's like having to wait 4 seasons of Gilmore Girls for Luke and Lorelei to get together. Without subtleties. And witty banter. Okay, without any element of fun or quality, really.
I haven't even mentioned the atrocious sex scenes yet.
The general plot is fine, the details when it comes to interpersonal relationships are awful. Luckily, there's also a lot of interesting information on how to cure hides and paint breasts.
*Note in Dutch for the audio version I've listened to:*
Dieuwertje Blok heeft een prettige stem, maar tering, ieder personage klonk hetzelfde. Ik ga na het horen van de expliciete sex scenes ook nooit meer hetzelfde naar het Sinterklaasjournaal kijken.
