Summary: Acorna is fabulous
Review: Anne McCaffrey has always written books that read quickly, these books are, as usual, page turners. Her characters are always believable, and if you like fantasy, with a touch of science fiction, this is the author for you. I have been reading her books for twenty five years, and have never read one I didn't like, including her older, less mature efforts. If you haven't read her dragon books, you've missed the best dragon books there are!!

Summary: Acorna's World
Review: I have been a fan of Anne McCaffrey for years, but this book seemed far below her usual standards. Aside from being rather boring and plotless, it also seemed rather childish. The plot just seemed to stumble along with no sense of direction. Throwing in silly inconsistencies, like hair changing color because you hopped a space craft did not help.

Summary: enjoyable read
Review: I have enjoyed McCaffrey's Acorna series but was alittle disapointed with the third book of the series. Acorna's World drew me back into the story with lively, lovable charaters and a exciting plot full of dangers. New characters such as Maati become much more then the two-diminsional characters they started out to be. A good relaxing read.

Summary: !!
Review: I truly enjoyed this story of a silver haired girl,with a tiny horn and funny looking feet. she was found and befriended by three prospectors, who would appear to never be the type to care so deeply about this child.. it was wonderful to watch these three gruff men become tender care givers for this special child.
great reading

Summary: A great entry in this terrific series
Review: On board the space traveling Condor, Acorna The Unicorn Girl feels safe from the insect race the Khleevi who dine on their own geriatrics and delight in eating other races. The Khleevi remain a major threat to Acorna's people, the Linyaari because the insect race has no qualms about genocide, as other species are fodder to them. Accompanying Acorna on the salvage ship is Captain Becker, first mate Road Kill, and Khleevi escapee Aari. When they receive an SOS from a nearby planet, the foursome feel impelled to help. There they discover the Khleevi has caused another massacre that leaves Acorna and her companions fighting to save two races before further slaughter leaves them extinct. The fourth Acorna tale is an entertaining young adult science fiction tale. The story line is filled with action and a growing attraction between Acorna and Aari. Late into the tale, Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough provide an entertaining, cleverly designed critique on how the young devour the elderly in free market society. Erudite fans will dine on Margaret Ball's linguistic interpretation that intelligently spoofs the plot's action-packed space opera with a small but serious thesis. Though lacking depth to any of the key players except in an overall generalization of the traits of the various races, ACORNA'S WORLD is a fun to read work of science fiction. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Anne's fans will not be disappointed
Review: We finally get to see Acorna grown up and dealing with her own people, in a culture that she has little understanding of. As often happens, others try to govern her life and actions based upon what they are used to. She manages to retain some control of herself and her own choices. I'll read anything Anne McCaffrey writes, and this book was certainly up to her usual excellent standards.

Summary: Let it die already
Review: While I loved the first Acorna books, and fell in love with the sweet little unicorn girl, I quickly changed my mind after this book. The plot was alright, but it seemed to me that McCaffery was rushing through this. She didn't take the time to develop the setting, plot of chars as she should have. She left the ending ambiguous, and tortured a poor creature who had already been tortured enough. Either she needs to spend a lot more time on her writing, or she needs to leave this series alone.
