Summary: My favorite McCaffrey book.
Review: I LOVED this book. I've read it at least a dozen times--once immediately after finishing it, I had to read it again. Along with "The Ship Who Sang," it is the best of the brainship series. I've read all of Anne McCaffrey's books to date (most of them two or three times), and this is my favorite. Even if you've never read any of her other books, you'll love this one.

Summary: If you liked 'ship who sang' you'll like this even more
Review: I think this is the best book in the Brainship series.It has adventure,mystery,and romance too(but not mushy).Reading about Tia's life,with all the details,makes one empathize with her very strongly.I've reread this book many times,and I still get emotional every time.It also reminds us,in a very non-preaching way,that handicapped people are regular people,with life and interests;but it is often harder for them,both physically and emotionally.I enjoyed this book a lot,and hope you will,too!

Summary: Moved Me To Tears
Review: In my entire life, I can count the number of books that have moved me to tears on the fingers of one hand. Those include luminaries such as Guy Gavriel Kay for his Lions of Al-Rassan and Fionavar Tapestry as well as Melanie Rawn for Skybowl. However, none of them had quite the impact of Hypatia's story. I am not ashamed to say that by the end of the first seventy three pages, I was in tears. The scenes, especially those in the hospital with her teddy bear were just so well written that I had to put down the book and wipe away the tears blurring my vision before I could continue. The sheer emotional impact of those scenes were so moving upon me. While I could have wished that the initial stages, especially those dealing with how Tia deals with the illness were a little more developed, this book is still certifiably Anne McCaffrey and Mercedes Lackey's best work to date.

Summary: If you liked 'ship who sang' you'll like this even more
Review: This book is incredible. My two favourite authors collaborating to write a book. Almost unbelievable. And of course the resultant work is a wonder. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when reading it, because this book really brings characters Tia and Alex to life and tugs at your emotions with its simple yet sensitive plot and writing. Perhaps the only thing I find a little lacking would be the ending. Somehow the ending seems too mundane, too expected to fit the rest of the plot. Also, perhaps a little 'forced' in a sense. Else, this book really is wonderful! I wish Ms Lackey and Ms McCaffrey would collaborate more in future.

Summary: Two Of My Favorite Authors
Review: This book was a book club choice. It is written by two of my favorite fantasy Authors. The thought of them doing science fiction together intrigued me. The book turned out really well. I enjoyed the story from cover to cover. I found that I could not put this one down. I have gone on to slowly read the rest of the Brainship series. Each one is a piece that can be read by itself as well as a series. This one if facinating because tia is not put into the brainship program at birth but at 7 years old.

Summary: Couldn't "Bear" to put it down.
Review: This book will have you from the first few chapters on. I simply loved it and couldn't find myself putting it down. How can one resist the will of a cute girl with a strong will and a teddy bear? This book is good for all ages. Anne McCaffrey will always be one of my favorite authors.
