The Valley of Horses

Summary: Good books are not for everyone
Review: Another good book comes out and some mental midgets can only look for the sex in it. Here is a well written, easy to read history of man in a capsule for us to consume with relish. I can't wait for the next in the series to come out. Thanks

Summary: Jean you sliped a little on this one
Review: I have read all 4 books and I would have to say that this one lost me a little. It didnt have enough of the story line to hold me. I have a tendency to drift when she explaines the land or goes into to much detaile about certian things . This whole book was about travling and not enough about the story. If you took out the travling and extesive deteals about "stuff" it probly woulnd take up more than 20 pages tops.

Summary: TOO FILLED WITH SEX FOR HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARIES
Review: I CAN'T SAY THAT I READ THE BOOK I ONLY SKIMMED IT SINCE MY DAUGHTER BROUGHT IT HOME FROM HER H.S. LIBRARY. I WAS SHOCKED AT THE EXPLICIT SEX. FOR ADULTS THE BOOK IS FINE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LIBRARIANS MORE AWARE OF ITS CONTENT AND NOT LET CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO IT.

Summary: Sex in the Stone Age
Review: I loved Clan of the Cave Bear, but the subsequent books gave me the impression the publisher said "Write more books like that one, but add a bunch of sex." Guess I'm not into prehistoric romance novels. I recommend stopping at Clan of the Cave Bear.

Summary: Better than ever
Review: You thought clan of the cave bears could not be topped? Guess again, and add some good crys for the romance and love/sex scenes. This was UNREAL. Don't worry about some bad reviews you see here. They are from men who know they could not possibly match up to Jondalar, so they have their ego speaking. I have yet to find someone, female OR male, who did not like it and learned a little something in the process. After all, this is how every woman would like to be loved....

Summary: Well...
Review: I did like this book, I thought that it was interesting and I needed to find out what had happened to Ayla. However, I think the the other books in the Earth's Children series were better. The Valley of Horses spent a little TOO much time on detail in some parts. Overall, though, a good read.

Summary: sucks you in...and spits you right out
Review: Well, Clan of the Cave bear was interesting enough...but then, once you get over the amazement of "wow! this seems just like New York!", you start to see flaws...still, I read Valley of the horses...same thing, except here, they're taller, and can't keep their hands off each other...come on! 4 times in one chapter....sheesh!
Also, doesn't this seem a bit too advanced for the Paleolithic period? or is that just me?? a spear thrower...why not! after all, we've already figured out how to strike fire, and set up a society where you screw over who ever you see...

Summary: a "you just can't stop reading" book
Review: After reading "Clan of the Cave Bear" , I needed to know what was going to happen to this brave, loving and powerful woman, and Valley of Horses took me along her side in discovering all the things she needed to survive alone, her revolving feelings, and hope that things always get better. Auel is a master in making you feel you're next to Ayla in her new world......

Summary: The best series in a long time
Review: I love the story line and the attention to detail that Jean has put into the story. I have read this series of books probably 5 times and will continue reading them periodically. I am impatiently awaiting the arrival of the next of this series and I am sure will devour this reading on the spot. Great series looking for the same quality in your next books, Thanks for writing them

Summary: Everyone has their own opinoins
Review: Out of the series of four books (Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, The Plains of Passage) this is one that I read over and over. The story that unfolds is wonderfully and strongly represted. The images Auel creates rival photographs. I highly recommend this book, but only after you have read Clan of the Cave Bear
