Helpful Score: 18

I waited anxiously for this book to come out, as I had been following Ayla from the beginning of her journey. Unfortunately, this book was a letdown to me. I understand that Auel did copious amounts of research and it shows. That was a huge part of what kept me reading the series; I loved the historical aspect. This book, however, just seemed to be one cave description after another. Ayla got overwhelmed with them and so did I! Then there was the repetition...one reviewer already touched upon it; Ayla was so beautiful, her prowess with animals, Jondalar was so handsome, it got tiresome. I felt that so much more could have been done with this, the final book in the series. What a disappointing end to what was up until now, a great series.
