Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not so great :(
Review: Things were really looking good until I reached the moment when The Rowan meets Jeff Raven. Everything seemed well put together and left me amazed at the psychic powers of such as T1s.

From then on, it became a 2 dimensional, simplistic love story I expect to see in books I don't usually go out to buy.

Read for the first part, then skip, as I did, the overbearing love statements and the continual bitching, and find out how easily and uninterestingly the heroes tackle a bug invasion.

4 stars for the first part, 2 for the last. But I haven't read the next in the series. I wonder if I should ?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i loved this book!!!!!!!
Review: when i was 11yrs my older sister went to the library and brought this back. I sneaked and read it before she could just so i could tell her the story and ruin it for her(it was kind of a game we played) I loved it so much that and when she got to read it so did she, that I got it for myself numerous times.then the sequels started to come out and that was wonderful!12 yrs and two children later I had forgotten about this book due to life...until i saw it at a resale shop for a dime.this is the first sci-fi book i have and it turned me onto sci-fi. it has romance and adventure and it gets better the more times i read it. it is a definate read and keeper so find the rest of the series and enjoy losing youself for awhile.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow! One of the best books I have ever read!
Review: When my grandmother gave "The Rowan" to me (I love books), I turned it over and read the back. I was skeptical and not sure about it. I am not in to sci-fi but more into fantasy. I took it with me to my highschool testing and when I was done with it I took it out and started reading. When it was time to go on testing I couldn't put it down. I found the inter-space world Anne McCaffrey created had intwined me and caught me in its wondrous atmosphere. The story of a young powerful teleknetic orphan held me on the edge of my seat. The emotions and experiences of the young girl soon known as the Rowan wow'd me and made me see sci-fi in a new light. I keep it among my other favorites such as: Dragonlance series, the Chronicles of Narnia, and the Myst series. Amazing like no other book I couldn't believe how it still held my attention months later as I wondered about some of the events. The advanced world of earth and outer colonies was the future and AM had brought it to life with the powerful teleknetic minds of the FT&T it made me wish for more. The colorful worlds and wonders of the Rowan and her story is a true work of art. If you want to start a great series start reading the "Rowan" series. Truly excellents books probably Anne's best works ever.
