Title: the sounds of snores
Review: Because a bookstore I frequent was having a "buy three get one free" sale, I picked up "Shelters of Stone" for nothing-- and still feel cheated. I waited twelve years for this book and am embarassed to have been seen walking out of the store with it. As such, SoS is currently proping up a short table leg.Jean Auel's "Earth's Children" series has simply declined in quality since the publication of "Clan of the Cave Bear." "Shelters of Stone" is the penultimate book of the series and by far the least interesting and most repetitive of the bunch. There is no balance between plot/action and the excessive descriptions of flora and fauna; the characters are predictable and the dialogue insipid.Everything a reader needs to know about what happens to the characters can be read in the Amazon.com reviews. Instead of wasting my time and money with the final book, I'll be reading here to find out what happens.
Is the review positive or negative?
