I am glad to have come to the end of the series. While I was glad to see that there were some problems pointed out in the culture of the Neanderthals (finally)I was still left with the feeling that I was being soundly critisized for being a white male. I learned a long time ago that reading fiction about things that I know about can lead to frustration and this book only reenforced that. It was an okay set of books but no better than that. If you have spent much time in nature at all or have ever tried to live off the grid you will see the Neanderthal world as hopelessly utopion and unworkable. If not you will be left wondering if the you shouldn't feel deep guilt everyday for your life. Fiction is fiction but there has to be enough fact in the scenes to make them believable. This story falls far short of that.
