Book was ok. Found myself struggling to get through parts of it. I most likely will not venture on to the rest of the books in this series.

Saucy caveman fiction!

A very interesting book. It was great to imagine how they lived in that period of time. I listened to the audio version, which l'm not a big fan of but it was well done and entertaining. Great story and characters.
