Negative Positive
Title: Sad, sad, sad
Review: I wish I'd read the reviews before I rushed out and bought the book. I've been waiting with baited breath for 11 years for this book, and I couldn't be more disappointed. CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR was terrific; VALLEY OF THE HORSES was interesting; THE MAMMOTH HUNTERS was a little disappointing because of all the cavegirl meets caveboy, cavegirl loses caveboy, cavegirl gets caveboy back. But I enjoyed THE PLAINS OF PASSAGE, trying to figure out what part of Europe they must be in.I agree with a reviewer who said that it's amazing that an editor let this stuff fly. It totally pains me to say it, because I was such a fan. The book could have been cut in half if all the endless introductions were left out and the repitious backstory condensed.Even when the story was tired in the other books, I was interested in the healing aspects, the literary suppositions of religion, and the other anthropology insights.It read like a lot of cutting and pasting to me. Wish it hadn't.
