A review by kkiacz
The Land of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel

2.0

I really wanted to enjoy this book but couldn't. I would read a little, then put it down for months at a time. It dragged, and dragged, and so much of it seemed unnecessary. Then, the character conflict (and just poor decisions and behavior, that were out of character) in the last third of the book seemed like it was created just to provide readers with some type of action, drama, and conflict, to resolve and give the series an ending. Overall, I was really disappointed in this book and wish I had stopped the series after book five.
