Anne McCaffrey - Crystal Singer

Pros: Great read, will keep you interested until the end

Cons: None

Review: Having read anything by Anne McCaffrey that I could get my hands on, I was greatly surprised to see a new series by her.

The series starts with this book. Killashandra Ree is a native of Fuerte, or as she calls it, Fusty Fuerte. When she is...

Pros: GREAT story, GREAT characters

Cons: None in my epinion

Review: How does a prima donna deal with failure? How about run away and join the Heptite Guild? Killashandra Ree only thinks she's a failure. Little does she know that her new adventure will truly change her for life.

Perfect pitch qualifies her,...

Pros: Intriguing plot complications. Unusual worldview. Easy read, great for kids.

Cons: A little slack on character development on any other than the main character.

The Bottom Line: Great book for anyone who's looking for a good, easy read - or who's looking to branch out from Anne McCaffrey's other works. Excellent for younger audiences.

Pros: A well written tale

Cons: Main character can be annoying

Review: Anne McCaffrey delivers and well written sci-fi.
Killishandra Ree, is nothing if she's not and over dramatic actress with a love for making a good exit.
The book as a whole does an good job of pulling you into the main characters life and...

Pros: Wonderful first two books, interesting, fun character

Cons: Disappointing 3rd book...

Review: I highly recommend the whole series, though only with some reservations and a fair warning can I recommend the final book, Crystal Line. The first two books are alot of fun to read, just as the main character is fun, though she goes bed-hopping a tad too...

Pros: in-depth characters

Cons: can't put it down

Review: The first in a wonderful series ... Anne out does herself yet again ... Walk into a world of both science-fiction and fantasy combined. Rich full characters grab you from the very beginning. This wonderful page turner is one you just won't want to put...
