Summary: The pinnacle of Anne's writing.
Review: I have read almost all of Anne's works, and I found this to be by far the best book she has ever written. The death of the Masterharper is one of the most emotional and heartbreaking moments I have ever experienced. It brought a tear to my eye, and I am not an emotional person whatsoever. Anne, if you read this, this is the best of what you have done, including your collaborations. My advice from a very devoted fan; write alone, your true style comes through and that's what all your fans, including me, love about you.

Summary: The final saga of the great adventure of Pern
Review: This is the final book in the "height" of Pern's history. In this they find their long lost ancestors and come in contact with their past and another culture. There are the main characters of Lessa, F'lar, F'nor, Jaxon, Sharra, Ramoth, Menolly, Ruth, Menmenth, Canth, the fire lizards and other characters you will come to love. This book has the most touching ending, you will cry, I did.

Summary: Very realistic.
Review: Whenever I feel that the world is too mundane, all I have to do is open one of Anne's books.
This book is best for those who have never really
read any of McCaffrey's books. It explains the importance of each character in depth. It also inspires me when I have sketcher's block.

Summary: A Great Book
Review: Without a doubt the best book of the Pern series. What a climax to this great line of books. Very exiting with a great story with a good focus on Jaxom and his white dragon, Ruth. This was the book I was waiting from Anne McCaffrey. Her latest book was a bit boring as it never commited to one story line, thoug

Summary: Past and present meet to decide the future of Pern
Review: This 1991 entry into the long running series begins with the rediscovery of the computer left by the first settlers to Pern. This computer, named AIVAS, complete with its vast store of knowledge, had managed to stay operational in the intervening 2,500 plus years since the settlers had been forced to flee the original settlement. In that time the settlers had developed a new society and found methods to deal with the menacing Thread that periodically attacked their world but had lost many of the technologies that their ancestors had brought with them from Earth. Now that AIVAS was available to them the people of Pern would have the opportunity to regain this knowledge, but at what cost to their society?Favorite characters from previous novels are here, Jaxom and his white dragon Ruth, Master Harper Robinthon, dragonriders Lessa, F'Lar and their son F'lessan and numerous others. We see how the people and dragons of Pern adapt to the changes in their world and rise to met the challenges these changes have brought about. For long time fans of the series there is a fear that this is the end of the saga but it appears that there are other entries writen more recently. In any case this is a must read for any fan of the series. It is not, however, a good place to start.

Summary: A wonderful ending to one most beloved series I've ever seen
Review: I recently started reading the Dragonriders of Pern series about two months ago. I picked up "DragonFlight" one day in the school's library and read the whole thing in three days and haven't stopped reading the Dragonrider books since. After reading the first three volumes and "The Renegades of Pern" (I suggest you read all of these first) I started reading "All the Weyrs of Pern." Being the Pern-addict I am now, I quickly became engrossed in the story line. With the promise of Thread to be forever gone for Pern's skies and many other rediscovered things that have been long been lost since the first people came to Pern. It makes for a solid story line and keeps the reader interested through out the book. All in all I think this is the prefect ending for McCaffrey's "Dragonriders of Pern". If you like being keep on the edge of your set wondering what's going to happen next, I think this book would be worth looking into. But do be warned, have a box of tissues for the ending. It's an unexpected tear jerker.
