Negative Positive
Title: I agree with the real critiques
Review: Like you who have read both the book and the "professional" critiques, I felt guilty for disliking this latest in the sequel with such intensity. But then I relaxed when I read the reviews of the average fan of Auel's - I'm normal after all. This book was so dissappointing. I found myself reading each new page just hoping that she would return to the fresh and origianl style of historical fiction that I had grown to long for. But the book never delivered. I'm waiting for her next book. Even the greatest of athletes strike out once in a while and I'm certain that her next work will be a home run. If you've never read the first four books don't bother. Read this one and you'll know everything you needed to know about the first four. Then read the first four and realize how great the series really is. For those of us who have loved the first four - we became tired of all the italicized repaeats.
