They make an Impression--Dragonflight: Pern vol. 1

Date of Review:  Sep 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: fell from the sky like a wisp of thread and was scorched to ash by a passing Dragon.
Review: Over the summer, I decided to keep my reading material light, simple and entertaining. With that goal in mind, I decided to revisit Anne McCaffrey's Pern for the first time in over 15 years. While I found more flaws in the writing than I remembered...

"Dragonmen must fly/When threads are in the sky."

Date of Review:  May 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: A very worthwhile read, and the first in a worthwhile series?highly recommended.
Review: Take me away, Anne. Take me far away to a place where I can forget the mundanity of my everyday life. Take me to a place where dragons fly, and where the survival of an entire world depends on the heroism of a few brave souls. I want to forget the...

Here Be Dragons...

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: Wholeheartedly recommended for all fantasy and sci-fi fans who aren't afraid of a complex plot!
Review: Sometime in our future, the people of Earth go forth and colonize other planets. One of these is the planet which came to be called Pern.

Over the years the people of Pern created their own legends and mythologies, and the home planet of...

Dragons fly in Sci Fi

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2000
Review: Anne McCaffrey's dragons of Pern are no fairy tale creatures, but dinosaur-like beasts who play an integral role in their planet's ecology. The preface to Dragonflight (which science fiction fans who enjoy figuring out the background of a story for...

By the Egg!

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2000
Review: First let me begin by saying that this series of books is very complicated, and before I talk about the book I will explain exactly how this world works.

These people live on a world called Pern. The geographical structure of this planet...

Welcome to Pern!

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great science fiction for fantasy readers, or fantasy for science fiction readers.
Review: I have been a fan of the Dragonriders of Pern series most of my life, and Dragonflight is one of my favorites of the series.

What makes Anne's world of Pern so appealing is the loving attention to the many details of the planet and its...

Shards!

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 1999
Review: Telepathic Dragons, deadly silver rains, and brave and foreseeing dragonriders. Who could put them together better than the Dragonlady herself? First in Anne McCaffrey?s thrilling series, the "Dragonriders of Pern", Dragonflight begins the story of...

Shed a little light on the true majesty of dragons!

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2000
Review: Anne McCaffrey's 'DragonFlight' completely goes against anything you ever thought you knew about dragons.

If you're like me, you've grown up thinking of dragons as large, stupid, fire-breathing creatures, whom knights are to slay for pride...

A masterpiece

Date of Review:  Nov 19, 2000
Review: In this book, Written by Anne Mccaffrey, Dragons are protectors of a planet called Pern. No they are not creatures of myth they are animals that have been on the planet for who knows how long. Every 200 years deadly spores called threads rain down...

It's a great escape

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 1999
Review: Many years ago I became hooked on the whole Dragonriders of Pern series. Whenever I wish to escape from real life, Pern is where I go to hide. While the problems of Lessa are not normal for any person anywhere, the book is written so well that you...
