All the Weyrs of Pern

Rating:
Summary: Just great from start to finish
Review: I have loved all of Anne McCaffrey's books since I discovered Dragonsong in third grade. All the Weyrs of Pern is a triumph. It has action, adventure, and sadly, tragedy. When I bought the book I didn't put it down till I finished it in the wee hours of that night with tears streaming down my face. It's a book that you must read.

Summary: All the Weyrs of Pern
Review: The ending is somewhat predictable, but really sad (there have only been 4 books that have ever made me cry and this is one of them)! This book is really good, but Pern changes too much. I know that life would be beter for them, but this is just a story and I liked the rustic ways of the people on Pern.

Rating:
Summary: Past and Future
Review: An enjoyable book overall, the storyline finally brings the contemporary Pern we know and love in touch with it's past and how that discovery would change Pern forever. I found the pace a little too fast at times, and would have preferred a slower and more detailed focus on the disovery of Avias. And the big blooper in the story made me wince every time it came up. But as a whole the depth of issues and social analysis is comparable to the depth found in the Dragonquest. Some good action scenes for those who relish them.

Summary: So did I
Review: I'll have to admit, I cried at the end too. This is a really good book, and I've read it numerous times. It's really interesting at the beginning, but slacks off towards the middle, until the end where it gets better again.

Rating:
Summary: A Great Read
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read. Although second to McCaffrey's great work--Dragonflight--the characterization is amazing. The characters become unbelievably real to the reader as McCaffery draws him into her carefully crafted world. I must admit that I cried at the end, but I won't devulge the denoument. A must have for any McCaffrey fan. (I would suggest reading the four or so books in the series before reading this one.)

Summary: This book rocks!
Review: This book rocks! Anne McCaffrey is a graet author

Rating:
Summary: A fascinating culmination of a heroic tale.
Review: All of the Dragons of Pern books are excellent. McCaffrey knows how to create a whole fascinating complex culture, filled with heroism and honor and loyalty. "All the Weyrs of Pern" brings the long struggles of the people of the planet Pern against thread to a climax. Combining fantasy and sci-fi elements, Ruth the White Dragon plays a lead role in bringing the Dragonriders fight into space. All the unique skills and history of Pern come together in this final triumph against thread.

Rating:
Summary: One of the best Pern books ever!
Review: I read The White Dragon and wanted to know what happened when they dug up Landing and what they found there. Then I was looking around in the library and saw All the Weyrs of Pern on the shelf. I read it GREATLY enjoyed it, and I know you would too!

Summary: a pretty great book
Review: I've fallen in love with the Pern series ever since I read Dragonsinger. Since then I've read a lot of the other books in the series. I love them all. The characters are each very unique and different, with strong individual traits. I also enjoyed the complicated socio-political system they had on Pern, and the low tech atmosphere. This book proved to be very interesting, exciting, and well written. I was pleased to learn about AIVAS and a bit more about Pern's past history. While I'm very glad they erradicated thread, I'm also slightly disappointed that dragonriders will no longer have a major role. What will happen to the future of Pern now? And I was very sorry to read about Master Robinton's death. He was one of my favourite characters. I think I enjoyed these books better before. However, I still suggest that Pern lovers read this book, b/c maybe others will feel more thrilled in the triumph of a menace destroyed than I. All in all, it was still pretty great. I don't know...i just feel a little mixed-up about this book. It's good, but also kinda disappointing. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

Summary: great to the end
Review: I can't say enough about how I feel about the story\series i cried and laughed. I would encourage anyone to read each and every book in this series. I fell that it is the best series I've ever encountered
