Summary: This is on of the BEST sci-fi books I have ever read!
Review: This is on of the BEST sci-fi books I have ever read! It is very easy to relate to the characters. You almost feel like you are the only one who beleives F'lar when he warns that the deadly Threads will once again rain upon the fertile lands of Pern. Come with the heroic Dragonriders as they try to save their home.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One terrific book!
Review: This is one of Anne McCaffrey's best, beyond a doubt! I love the plot and the characters! Tempestuous Lessa, Weyrleader F'lar ("O inscrutible one!") Wingsecond F'nor, dependable Brekke, her hot-tempered fosterling Mirrim-the list goes on and on! All who loved DRAGONFLIGHT should definitely read this book!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An OK McCaffrey book.
Review: This is one of McCaffrey's earlier books. She wrote this when she had not yet mastered the craft of writing. Although it is well written and interesting, it is not her best work, but it is essential for a McCaffrey fan.

Review: This like every other book by Anne Mccafery was magnecifent But I belived it was over looked and dawerfed by the more poular Dragonflight and The White Dragon also the other poular Dragon books by Mrs. Mccafery. i belive it is a wonderful book and recomend it to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another smash!!
Review: This second entry in the Pern series is yet another great attachment to my bookshelves. In this we are introduced to the fire lizards, flying lizards that can breathe fire/attach themselves to Pernesians just as the dragons do/annoyances in some cases, and we begin to see the downfall of the "united" feeling among Dragonriders. Greed and tradition take over for some of the oldtimers, and then things begin to heat up for a controling figure.

Only one complaint... the names. At some times (like at 3am) its somewhat hard to differentiate F'lar and F'nor and such... but that complaint isn't worth taking away anything from the well deserved rating!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good ride!
Review: This was the first Pern book and it definitely caught my attention when I first read it. In fact, it's what got me hooked on Pern and it's dragons. The only disappointment I had was the focus on humans instead of the human-dragon bond. Lessa is a powerful character and her influence continues through most of the series but you get to know her best here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT!!! I'LL READ IT AGIAN AND AGAIN!!!!!!
Review: VERY good book!! Wonderful story tieing Dragonflight and the White Dragon together. It has the best story line out of the whole seiries. Write more like it McCaffery!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A More Detailed and Focused View of Pern
Review: While most complain that Dragonquest is McCaffrey's attempt to diminish Lessa's role, they do not realize that the Dragonriders series does not focus on Lessa, but the world of Pern. It is simply bringing to light characters that were only minor in Dragonflight.

This book is more detailed than Dragonflight and has fewer inconsistencies as the model of Pern is finalized. Character development is advanced, also. Lessa and F'lar tended to be one-dimensional in Dragonflight but here they are not the focused characters and F'nor, Flar's half brother, and some others are brought forward. Particularly engaging is the focus on Kylara and Brekke and the expansion into the South. Although not recommended before Dragonflight, it is a much more concrete and interesting novel. The storyline is improved and continued with The White Dragon and onward.
