kiki1claire 's review for:

The Mammoth Hunters by Jean M. Auel
2.0

My two words to Ayla and Jondalar for most of this book: EPIC FAIL
I really couldn't handle all the stupid misunderstandings. I couln't wait for the book to be over because it just kept going on and on. And everyone around them not interfering because they think it's not their place - COME ON! SOMEBODY SAY SOMETHING!
500+ pages could have been solved by two minutes of honest talking, and not over-analyzing everything the other person said, or did, or didn't do.
By the time they actually did talk, I was in shock, and kept waiting for one of them to do something that wouldn't resolve the problem, but make it worse, because that's what the other 600 pages were about.

So, all in all, the worst of the series that I have read so far.
I was hoping that the next book in the series will be better, but after reading the reviews dont have very high hopes....but I'm going to read it anyway because I actually like the characters and want to continue with them on their journey-despite all their stupid, self-inflicted misfortunes. And who knows, if I dont have any expectations, maybe it will surprise me.
