georgiamarshall1 's review for:
The Land of Painted Caves
by Jean M. Auel
A Disappointing Conclusion
As an avid (albeit very late) reader of the Earth’s Children series, I have to admit I was pretty disappointed to have the final book end this way. It seemed to me that nothing much happened for the majority of the novel before a fairly rushed and unsatisfying conclusion. The novel still has the basics of Auel’s narrative which enthralled me throughout the series; Ayla is still unquestionably fascinating and the geographical and biological detail is astounding, and I found myself enjoying the novel in spite of its flaws.
