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...
