Horror for Newbies
Alexia S asked this question about The Valley of Horses (Earth's Children, #2):
Ok so I've been reading this book but I've found it incredibly slow and the plot not very interesting, should I even continue reading it?

I personally was very interested in the technology and techniques of survival, especially as I'm interested in herbs (learned a few new uses for some). It really picked up when the guys' chapters started, though I preferred reading about Ayla much more. Midway through I picked up the pace and raced through the last quarter of the book to the (ahem) climax. May go and re-read for specific techniques, taking notes, as I don't own this book.

I read Clan o CaveBear long ago. I enjoyed this one more, much more, partly because the sex, while graphic, was all about pleasure. I liked A&J's relationship, while I really liked how strong Ayla was, and the acceptance, eventually of J re: the Clan/Neanderthals/Flatheads.(less)
