danilanglie 's review for:
The Plains of Passage
by Jean M. Auel
And things get worse. While this book doesn't have a stupid prolonged "misunderstanding" plot, it is actually worse than its predecessor. Why? Because it basically has no plot. This book could be a single sentence and we wouldn't lose anything important in the series. Here, let me give it a try: "Ayla and Jondalar traveled a great distance, meeting many new people and struggling through rough weather and terrain until finally they could see the land of Jondalar's people in the distance: they were home."
That's literally everything you need to know. They start the novel having just set out from the Mamutoi, and they end having arrived at the land of the Zelandonii. Along the way we are treated to an ASTOUNDING amount of repetition, recaps of previous books, and meetings with pretty uninteresting and indistinguishable groups of people, all of whom instantly find Ayla to be the most beautiful and perfect and godly woman they've ever seen.
I'm seriously astounded that this pile of crap got published. And that people read it and enjoyed it. I can't believe I actually sloughed my way through this one. And now that I'm this deep in it, I'm going to finish the whole damn series if it kills me.
