I've realized that one of the things that annoys me a little about Laurall K. Hamilton's writing style is that she uses the exact same phrases to describe things every time. It gets a little dull, no matter how interesting the scene itself is.

*grin* yeah... My mother was reading Clan of the Cave Bear when I was 8 or 9. So I read it till I caught up, then took turns reading aloud, until she decided that it was a bad idea. (I was reading when they were talking about the severed head of the human sacrifice, and it was all a bit much for me at the time) The rest of the book, and the next 2 in the series became books she read to me.

I later went back and re-read Valley of the Horses and figured out why she'd stop reading for minutes on end...

I tried reading her once. I didn't get past the first few chapters. AWFUL!

Problem is, I have read all the books. In regards to the last book in the series - I can't believe I waited 10 years to find the sex of her second baby.
They have gotten progressivly worse and worse. And the same paragraphs repeated word for word chapter by chapter!!!
Oy, with the bad.
