Rating:  Summary: Wonderful! When is the sequel due? Review: Wonderful, wonderful book. Very exciting. Told from multiple first persons to keep up the interest. Dramatic and exhilirating. Main character has SPUNK! I loved it.
Rating:  Summary: i too loved this book so when we find out what happens next? Review: i read this book in one sitting i loved the story and the characters.i cant wait to find out if ms. kerner will write a sequel. i want to find out what happens to the lost dragons.i have been looking for alternative authors since my favorite ones take too long to write their sequels(i read too fast). laenan and the dragons deserve a second book! we need to find her mother and save the rest of the dragons.
Rating:  Summary: OK for a beginner Review: An interesting book. True, it does provide a fresh perspective on the human-dragon story; and Lanen is an intriguing character. But I found this book a bit too quixotic and flat for my taste. It succumbs too often to the ever-present temptation of any author, a desire for things to be ideal. It needs a few more flaws. The multiple-first-person narrators are very confusing, particularly in high-action sequences when the switches between them come every few paragraphs. And I found the ending of this book fairly disappointing and a bit contrived._Song in the Silence_ is a good book for killing time, but don't expect too much.
Rating:  Summary: Pretty good! So when's the sequel?! Review: I read it all through the same day, which I don't usually do for books that long. Good book, especially for a first novel. I thought the multiple first-person viewpoints were interesting...certainly not "vexing"...Like everyone else, I like the dragons. I was disappointed at the fact that it didn't get up to saving the Lost, but I suppose there really wasn't enough room. Well worth reading.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Novel - I'll be waiting for a sequel or two? Review: The only problem with this book is I had trouble putting it down. I normally have trouble keeping up with books that are done so completely in first person. Song in the Silence is a fantastic exception! Elizabeth Kerner writes this tale beautifully and captures my interest totally. The characters are identifiable and individual. A touching and moving tale that is made believable in style. The best (and worst) of thinking being characteristics are portrayed well in both the human (Gedri) and dragon (Kantri) personalities. I'll be impatiently awaiting the sequel and pray that there will be one.
Rating:  Summary: A must read Review: I went through the book in a few days. I was intriged with the mind of Lanen. It left me in a haze I couldn't put it down. I even laughed out loud once.
Rating:  Summary: Dull, dull, dull Review: This book was SO boring I could not even finish it, and I am the mother of a young child who is starved for input. Lanen Kaelar is a virtuous lump and her dragon friend is too, although his coloring seems more interesting. And who cares if they defeat evil or not? Derivative, dull, not worth your time.
Rating:  Summary: Truely Captivating Review: Although the ending seemed a little too convenient it was overall a wonderful book. I have to agree that it seemed very similar to Lackey's works, but since I am a huge fan of hers, thats no bad thing.... I look forward to reading about the future of these two heros with great anticipation. Keep up the great work Ms. Kerner!!
Rating:  Summary: Great book!!!! Review: I loved Akhor and Lanen, they were so beautiful together! It was a great book! I read it almost every day. I love reading about dragons, but this is indefinitely the ultimate best! I can't wait for sequels!
Rating:  Summary: Imaginative, innovative and entertaining Review: Elizabeth Kerner has created a masterpiece of originality filled with wit, humor, love and a dash of philosophy we can all use. She concentrates on resolving differences, celebrating life and the power of love even between a Kantri and a Gedri, a dragon and a human. "A Song in the Silence" is a wonderful book that is garanteed to be revisited and re-read over and over. I'm looking forward to Elizabeth's next books with great anticipation!
