Episode 17: Plains of Passage by Jean M. Auel

Somebody Wrote This

The definition of insanity is Kelly and Lexi reading yet another Jean M. Auel book featuring everyone's least favourite cavemen, Jondalar and Ayla. And while the title of Plains of Passage, the fourth novel in the Earth's Children series, implies movement, change, and action, we get lists of grasses instead. Sure, there is a female utopia gone wrong and scummy mammoth sex, but in between there are grasses. Whole paragraphs, pages and chapters of it. And yet somehow, we already know that we'll probably read the next one too. Goddamn it.
