Summary: Still a great book 7 years later
Review: I've just finished reading this book for the 2nd time. The first time I read it was when it came out in paperback in '92. It stills hold up. It is one of the best blendings of fantasy (friendly dragons) and hard sci-fi (AIVAS, a 2,500 year old super computer) that I have ever read. I would recommend reading Dragonsdawn first, but this book stands alone just fine even if you haven't read the rest of the series.

Summary: It was a Pern book, but not that good
Review: I realy like Pern and all the books about it, but I feel that thred and the medeval atmosphere of the place realy defind the place and gave it the exitement and charm of the earler books. This book and the other later ones seem to be about solving all the problems Pern once had, making it a perfect world. This is unrealistic and ruens all the origanality the world once had. That is not to say I don't like the series, I love the first ones and the ones about Pern's past but this one is just not beliveble.

Summary: In intresting ending to the series
Review: I thought that it was kind of to bad that the sort of medievil tone was brought to an end. I always enjoyed the mystery that you always had- where did the the dragons come from? why did men come to pern? I think that it might have been an better idea for them to have never found avias, because it will ruin their culture, destroying the weyr, and sending the political system in to turmoil. I also thought that the carectors where sort of shallow, and not as well described as the other books, but I have to say, it was exciting, and the anhillation of thread sort of brought a relief to me (Okay, I'm obsesed.) It was over all an OK book. Not as good as the other ones.

Summary: Hated it! My LEAST favorite McCaffrey book ever.
Review: Over fifteen years ago I fell in love with "Dragonflight" for its the medieval-like, low technology setting and especially for its the headstrong characters. I still love that world and those characters to this day, but you won't find them in "All the Weyrs of Pern.""All the Weyrs of Pern" is the book in which McCaffrey put the last nails in the coffins of both the exciting world Pern once was, in the strong character of F'lar and the once indomitable character of Lessa. It's bad enough that the mystery and adversity that made Pern an enthralling world are eradicated along with the threads. Far worse is the destruction of what were once such bold, brave characters. I threw the book across the room when F'lar plotted with Jaxom to keep Lessa from being there for the final battle with the threads. Who more than Lessa deserved to be there? If it weren't for her F'lar and Jaxom would not have even had the chance to be there. Beginning with "Dragonquest" and "The White Dragon," McCaffrey has tried to turn Lessa into a shrill, bitchy character. Why? For no reason other than plot contrivance -- to allow F'nor and then Jaxom to take center stage, she trashes one of the most beloved characters in all of SF. But in "All the Weyrs of Pern" it was Jaxom and F'lar that looked bad to me, doing what R'gul tried to do in "Dragonflight" -- keep Lessa ignorant and disempowered. So much for a strong female character! So much for a hero that was strong enough to want an equal partner instead of a weak-willed woman. F'lar was once one of my favorite characters, and in "Dragonquest" I even liked Jaxom, whom I can't stand to read about now. This was the last Pern book I ever read. Frankly, I plan to try to forget I ever read it.

Summary: Very interesting and intriguing book!
Review: As the dragonriders try to find a way to rid Pern of Thread with the help of Aivas, some of the people try to destroy Aivas. This book is a very good book, and I recommend it to all fantasy book lovers. Dragons must fly/when Thread is in the sky.

Summary: As with all her books, I was unable to put it down
Review: If you read her dragons of pern series, the story is interwoven with characters that you have read about in other books, very captivating, and you can visualize yourself in the role of the main character. There is always a person in the book that the reader can identify with. One of those books that, when started, it is hard to put down

Summary: Danny liked this book
Review: I belive that this was a book that was always one of her best. I love how she gave such discriptions of the redstar and all but i think she should have had master norist killed.

Summary: AIVAS adds a new dimension to Pern....
Review: She never ceases to amaze me with her talents, and the eradication of Thread is something long awaited by Pernese (and me), so if you too would like to see relief for Pern, READ THIS NOVEL!!
