Has anyone gotten and read the painted caves yet? Mine came in on Saturday and it is a total DUD! I am sooooo disappointed. This book sucks worse than the 4th one. It's like Auel ran out of steam and the editor was on strike.
There is about 50 pages worth reading and that only if you suspend your sense of reality and logic. I actually skipped more pages than I read but still - what a waste of time.

Actually - if people wanted kids to read her books - they should ban them - lots of descriptions of sex in some of them.

I read the first three books in this series when I was on spring break from college years ago, I didn't know they were still around ,or that there were more than the three I read. They were excellent books that I still remember out of the many ,many books I have read over the years.( no I didn't go to some popular beach during spring break and spend lots of money, my treat was these books ,bout all I could afford and I remember saving out of my grocery buget to buy the soft cover set lol) times have changed:)

As for the movie Clan of the Cavebear......that should have been an embarrassment to the director, producer, and actors. It was awful! The book was REALLY REALLY good!
