Book Reviews of The Mammoth Hunters (Earth's Children, Book Three)
Book Review: A disappointing third installment to an otherwise epic series
Summary: 2 Stars
Let me start off by complimenting the author on her series. After reading Jean M. Auel's Earth Children's series, I have no doubt in my mind that she is a masterful story teller. She can weave fantastic stories that can keep a majority of her readers spellbound. She also does her homework, having extensive archeological knowledge about the past that predates the oldest written history. Reading about environmental differences that include climate and animals are partially what makes this series so charming to read. The third installment didn't lack any environmental details. in fact, the details on the lives of that mammoth clan and a difference in the climate from the valley of horses brought a welcome change. However, the story itself left me frustrated for around 300+ pages as the plot revolved around Alya and her mate's misunderstanding of one another. Books are meant to be enjoyed and although it was interesting to read through the third installment, i could have done without the frustration. I kept hoping the problem would resolve itself in a hundred pages, so that alya could go do something more interesting for a change for the next few hundred pages. much to my dismay, the book centered around alya's predicament with Jondalar.
To me reading this book was almost like grabbing a shiny apple only to find that the insides were rotten to the core AFTER taking a bite into it. i devoured the apple anyways. I probably should have stopped somewhere along halfway. But i was stupid and when i finished the book, it left me feeling sick and dumb for sticking through it.
I am guessing people who enjoy soap operas can find this enjoyable to read to the end. But it was not an enjoyable read for me. compared the the first two books, the third installment was a huge disappointment. I would rate it 2.5 stars out of five. But amazon doesnt let me choose 2.5, its either 2 or 3. I am putting down two.
