Crystal Line

Rating:
Summary: A bit self-indulgent
Review: Muhlah! This wasn't a horrible book, but it reads too much like an inside joke. Muhlah! Not one of her best, not as good as the other two.

Summary: good book, but boring ending
Review: the crystal series were very nice, not anne mccaffrey's best work, but quite nice. the plotlines were unpredictable, especially in the last book of the series, crystal line. i enjoyed the characters in the book very much, especially the breif meeting with killashandras relative. brendan and boira, the courier ships, were very confusing, but the so called jewel junk was very interesting. it was nice when killashandra was returned her memory, but the ending , with its loves and adorations, was almost too sweet, and gave me a bad case of romantic sugar tooth!

Summary: Outstanding Trilogy
Review: The Crystal Singer trilogy is wonderfully written. All Anne McCaffery's books are good but this series is a must to read, over and above my favourite.

Summary: An almost perfect finale to the crystal series!
Review: The first time I laid my hands on Crystal Line, I just couldn't stop reading. I just read, sat and cried for three to four hours, forgetting to eat at all that evening. I found the aspect of loss of memory caused by crystal singing heart-striking, especially combined with the centuries-lasting love story of Lars and Killashandra. Even the terrible amnesia or a long separation cannot erase their love. The reason why I didn't give the book five stars is that even though the novel by itself is top class, I miss some of the 'youth' and excitement I associate to the earlier novels in the Crystal series. Definetely worth reading, even if you get your eyes all puffed!

Summary: This is a must read!
Review: This book is probably the best of the Crystal Singer Trilogy. It is a really good book and a must read (although if you haven't read the previous books, it might be a little confusing).

Summary: Loved it!
Review: This is one of the most beautiful sci-fi trilogy, I've ever had the pleasure to read (and boy was it a pleasure!). As an avid reader of both sci-fi and fantasy books, it is always wonderful to come across a book which is both imagintive and thought provoking. It took me two days to finish all three, I just could not put them down. Yes, may- be the story has an all to perfect ending, but I'm finding more and more these days that a good perfect ending gives you the reprieve you need from modern day stresses, and this book differently gives you that.

Anne McCaffrey, has created a world of excitment, intrigue and love; a world that has the reader feeling and experiencing everything the characters go through and feel. I very much recommend this book to any one who is a fan of the genre and a good ending.

Summary: Romance, not SF.
Review: Were they always like this? I loved the first two Crystal Singer books, but I read them many years ago, when I was much younger. CRYSTAL LINE, short as it is, was very difficult to get through. The prose is pandering, and the dialogue is downright nauseating. Make no bones about it, this is a romance novel with token trappings of science fiction. I almost expected to see Fabio posing as Lars for the cover. SF for lonely housewives! Add to that a barely-there plot and a tacked-on-for-a-bit-of-excitement finale, and this book ends up being a huge disappointment.
