TL;DR

um, pass?

Maybe it's just the right time of my life for me to read this, but I can't find anything negative to say about this book.

You circle the drain with Domenick Birdsey, this tragic 'hero', as he struggles to make sense of a life that keeps dispensing shit hands to him. It's a dark, atmospheric book that sucks you in; you burrow down in it, even though it's painful.

This was right up my alley.

I'll be "currently reading" this book forever. It's great.

Auel has a real talent for research and description. Her narrative of the plants, animals and surrounding landscape from millions of years ago shows a true interest in this subject. Good stories with great description!
