I have to say that even when Ayla is on her own I still enjoy reading about what is happening to her though :o)<br /><br />@ Stephanie - I hope you enjoy this one as much as you liked Clan of the Cave bear!<br /><br />@ buddyt - I loved the part where Ayla first finds Whinney, it's still one of my favorite sections of the series :o) I enjoy reading about all of her animal friends though lol<br /><br />@ Lisa R/alterlisa - I felt so sad for Ayla when she was on her own so it was great to see her when she finally met people of her own kind :o)<br /><br />@ Jaidis - I couldn't agree more, I think I loved Clan of the Cave Bear for the descriptions of the Neanderthals & their way of life but Valle of Horses is probably when I really grew to love Ayla :o)<br /><br />@ Clover - I can forgive Ayla & Jondalar discovering every invention because I find it so interesting to see how they could have been discovered thousands of years ago. I have to admit that my favorite parts of the book are with Whinney & Baby though :o)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491718306784046961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816222359708972661.post-15858650196829146452011-04-06T11:46:11.901+01:002011-04-06T11:46:11.901+01:00You're right it is slightly unbelievable how m...You're right it is slightly unbelievable how much Ayla (and Jondalar) invent and discover certain things in this series but I still really, really love this book. I loved the first half of the book the most with Ayla living alone and learning about her valley.
