Title: Disappointment after the long wait
Review: After waiting all this time for the Shelters of Stone to be released, I rushed out to get my copy full of anticipation of another fascinating weekend read. I ploughed through the book to the end, only to be really disappointed. Instead of a brief synopsis of the previous books, Jean refers constantly to them throughout the text. I'm assuming that anyone who buys Shelters of Stone is an avid Auel fan and will therefore have read the first four books several times.I found no new plots, story lines or snippets that we have not read in one of the other parts of the series. The constant reuse of all the title names of the members of the group became very tedious and I started skipping them !There is hardly even any build up of tension at the end to make the wait for the last book nail biting !I just hope that the final episode will be worth the wait.
