So I just looked. Twice. No book forum. Like, for reviews, which ones are REALLY good or REALLY bad, etc. We have everything else, why not a book forum?
Anyway...I have a gripe about Clan Of The Cave Bear series. 6 books. Or 7. I dunno. The first two were pretty good. After that, I got burned out. Same o same o.....the author repeats herself too many times throughout each book and not just once so the reader knows what they missed if they didn't start from the beginning. Nope, She does it NUMEROUS times.
Plus, she spends way too much time describing the general areas Ayla is in. Yes, most is fascinating reading, but then there is the repeating crap all over again. I am struggling finishing Shelters Of Stone because frankly..I am BORED to tears now. And there is one more book after this one. I don't know if I will be able to finish off the whole series.
Anyone else read this set of books and had a problem finishing them all?
AND...any recommendations?
My personal preferences are books of period pieces. Anything BEFORE 1925 or so. Any country, as long as it is printed in english. Any history that is not non fictional. Love the Victoria Holt books. Have every one of them. I also like Anne Rice' books about the vampires and Taltos, etc. Not thrilled with THe Mummy or her new werewolf novel.
Sci Fi is good too..to a certain extent. Robert McGammon did some great books, with Swan Song beating the shit out of King's The Stand. Not in to gory horror shit.
What kind of books do you like? And why the fuck don't we have a book forum????
