Summary: Almost as good as the first book
Review: This book is almost as good as the first book, with about as much variation in the plot line. The sex scenes are ok, but they start to serve as filler towards the end of the book.
Rating: 
Summary: Great sequel
Review: Although many people thought that this book was in some ways very sexual, which is at parts, shouldn't take away from what the story was trying to portray. Life during a time that brought hardship and death to people. And that loneliness can be cured by love, if one just looks for it.
Rating: 
Summary: Not for kids!
Review: I really enjoyed this book long ago. However, i did a search for children's audio books and this was on it! Hello!!! There is explicit sexual stuff in this book. I gave it a one star for the stupidity of the person that put it under children's audio. Please don't get this for your children thinking it is something educational (historical fiction).

Summary: Leonarda da Stoneage meets He-Man
Review: After reading Clan of the Cave Bear, of course I had to read The Valley of Horses to find out what happened to Ayla. Although I felt sometimes reminded of "The Island of The Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell, I found the author's descriptions of Ayla's life in the valley interesting and this is the only reason why I give this book four stars. The story of Jondalar and his brother was often boring and towards the end of the book, I skip-read most of it. I find Mighty Hung Jon one of the most irritating characters I've ever encountered in a book. It would have done the story a lot of good if he hadn't been created as such a (physically) perfect specimAn. The book as a whole would have profited from more thorough editing, especially the deletion of unnecessary and boring descriptions (e.g. of boat building). 100 pages less would have made a big difference! All in all, I found it a nice, easy read for a lazy Saturday. The story is mostly predictable. No challenge whatsoever, except (sometimes) of my patience.
