![The Valley of Horses [Earth's Children, Book 2] - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/WaIAAOSwRrhf~~w3/s-l500.jpg)
Amazing book with a great price. It arrived safe and fast. I read the first book “The Clan of the Cave Bear” and I got hooked. This book is very detailed and the author give us a magnificent introduction to the new characters.

I bought it because the first book in the series "Clan of the Cave Bear" was interesting and it ended with a cliffhanger. I just had to find out what happened to the heroine. However it soon morphed into a romance novel by treating the characters in predictible and often unbelieveable ways. The girl, Ayla was strong, beautiful, smart, yet naive and vulnerable. The hero, Jondalar, was big, strong, sometimes clueless, beyond handsome, and knew how to treat women. (note to author: These are Cavemen!) I could tell it was written by a woman by the way she described everything this man did, including his sexual prowess. It was too long and tended to ramble over descriptions of plants and geography. I recommend skipping this and subsequent titles in the series.
excellent read and very good deal

Many years ago I read the entire series however the books disappeared during a move. What motivated me to re-read them again? I think it was the fond memories of a great writer. Jean Auel is a very talented writer that combines history with fiction and weaves a fantastic story about a woman alone in the world, found as a child and raised by strange people not of her own. Her subject matter took a lot of research and the final result will be that you cannot put the book down once started. I don't believe I have read any other book that captivates the imagination as well as this one.
My wife loved it! Great book to read!
