3.0 out of 5 stars Good, fun reading, 26 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I have read every Anne McCaffrey book on the Dragonriders of Pern series.The premise is simple, clean fun that anyone from 12 to 102 can wile away a few hours. The stories are written that one can follow and are not caught up in the hard-core science fiction genre of technological gadgets, gore and mind-bending horror.The series can be rather repitious(sorry if I misspelled that) at times but Anne keeps the reader interested.Also, I liked her "Killashandra" series. Whatever you think of this review believe me, I have read the Pern books several times over and haven't tired of them.I also hope Anne McCaffrey goes beyond the end of Avias to another level.

1.0 out of 5 stars Uninteristing Series, 28 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I hope not to offend those who wrote rave reviews, but I have a theory on this. The only people who submit their reviews are those who are going to give the book a high score, because they are interested in the book. I, personally, found the books I read in this series (and that was around five)to be boring and tedious, harping on the same theme over and over again. I was prepetually waiting for the action (constantly referred to) to begin. Sure, there was "implied" action, but nothing that gave me a sense of actually living in the book. Thank you for reading this review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT, GREAT WORK, 27 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This series MADE my high school experience so many years ago. Do yourself a favor and read this trilogy. Many other books in the series are good, but tread with caution when reading her latter-day Pern books -- some are pure dreck. But these three are great, as is All the Weyrs of Pern and the Harperhall series.
