Rating: Summary: Best Book Ever! Review: I have to say, this is my favorite book out of the hundreds (thousands?) I have read. Believable characters, with flaws just like everyone else, and an incredible background, rich and lovable. Just an example of McCaffrey's talent and the beauty of Pern.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic!!!! Review: This was a great book and a wonderful start to the series. It was facinating how Lessa went from a kitchen drudge in disguise to one of the most important people on Pern. I give it a standing ovation.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books I've ever read! Review: I began reading Dragonflight reluctatly but as I read it through I became hooked. Anyone who has read any of her novels will understand my feelings. I have almost every book shes written. All of the Pern,Crystal Singer,Dinosaur Planet,The Death of Sleep, and The Partnership series but my love remains with Pern and the wonderful dragons. I am truly glad that she continues to write about life on Pern. I am truly a loyal fan and I hope she does not end the Pern series. A loyal fan always.
Rating: Summary: I just LOVED the book Review: I have read almost all of Anne McCaffrey's pern stories. I have always loved dragons and those are stories that just drew me into the book. I recomend them to all Dragon readers.
Rating: Summary: In how many other languages can I say, "Good?" Review: Never have I been so enthralled by a book! McCaffrey creates believable, FALLIBLE characters who have emotions which hit close to home. Yet another exemplary, wonderful, spectacular (you get the idea) work by the Dragonlady, Anne McCaffrey.
Rating: Summary: THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!! Review: I have read and re-read this book so many times that I nearly have it memorized. I just started to read it again, in fact. The characters are superb and written with so much feeling that you want to stay on Pern forever! Lessa and F'lar have become part of my life and I will never let them go. I still dream about the time Lessa Impressed Ramoth and the mating flight that made F'lar Weyrleader. If only such a world existed. I would move there and live out my days as a dragonrider, even if it meant having only a green! This is McCaffrey's greatest work. never has a writer done so much in a single novel. Never will another be able to. No one is as good as Anne McCaffrey! She is the WORLD'S BEST WRITER, and this book is the WORLD'S BEST BOOK!
Rating: Summary: A 'MUST READ'! Review: This book starts it all! Twenty years of Pern and this is the beginning! Come soar the skies with Lessa and her golden dragon Ramoth. Follow her story and the story of others in the best sci/fi series ever written!
Rating: Summary: Yippy Skippy, it's a great book! Review: This great book told of a land called Pern, filled with telepathic dragons, deadly, falling Threads, lovers, killers, and heros. It talks of the indescribable link between the dragons and their riders. It speaks of Lessa of Ruatha, a girl whose family had been murdured, while Lessa, only 10, escaped and planned revenge to one day take over the land that was her family's. She becomes Weyrwoman, in other words, she is the dragon Queen's rider and friend. All the while, the land of Pern is oblivious to the deadly threat of the Threads, and only the dragonriders can save it.
Rating: Summary: Thanks, Anne! Review: I think back on how I checked this book out from the library and thought it was going to be soooo boring! As soon as I had read the first page, I was completely entraced. I sat in my bedroom all weekend to finish it. As soon as I had picked it up, I was instantly transformed into a wonderuois, captivating world where dragons fly free in the air, their riders inexplainably attached to them. I get so wrapped up in Anne McCaffrey's writing I forget about everything else. I am now in the process of reading everything she has written. Definatley a must-have!
Rating: Summary: Without a doubt one of the best books I've ever read Review: Anne McCaffrey creates a world we'd all like to live in; expansive, detailed, full of tales of deeds of courage, enterprise, and danger. The Pern series in general, and this book in particular, carve out a vivid universe, in which we can almost see ourselves riding on the back of a dragon through time, or locked in mortal combat with the fearsome lord Fax. I defy anyone to read this book and, afterwards, not long to Impress their very own dragon, to battle the omnipotent threads, or just to be there witnessing the events that make up this stunning work of art. Anne McCaffrey has definately secured her place in the literary hall of fame with this future classic.
