Bobbie's review
The Plains of Passage by Jean M. Auel
This is probably one of my least favorite books in the series but only because I felt that Auel's descriptions of the Plains that Ayla and her companion are traveling becomes a bit to tedious. Also, all the "Pleasures" throughout the book I don't feel were all that necessary. Where I enjoyed the full descriptions of the various lands and the medicinal lore in the other books, sometimes I felt in this book that Auel was concentrating on the details from her research a bit too much. The areas of the books where Ayla encounters more "Others" and her interaction and growth is what kept me reading the book. This one just got tedious in places during the journey. Still, Auel develops the characters and the story line is continued.
