The Mammoth Hunters
by Jean M. Auel
I was very disappointed in this one.
:( <---- I has a sad.
I felt like it went from a real story and turned into a romance. One with sex that is too graphic. I forgave, and kind of understood, the graphic sex in Valley of the Horse because of the contrast between making love with Jondalar and being abused earlier. The contrast between how "the others" had sex and how Clan had sex. But. I didn't need all that crap over and over again in this book. I got very annoyed with Jondalar and with Ayla and with everyone else. I did enjoy the culture in the Mammoth Hunters and the description of their Summer meeting. In all the books I enjoy the detail in which she describes all of their actions and customs but particularly in this one when Ayla is acclimatizing to their ways of doing things and religion.
