Book Reviews of Dragonsdawn (Dragonriders of Pern Series)
Book Review: IT FILLED IN THE GAPS FOR ME
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives a detailed account of the very beginning of the people of Pern.It cleared up a lot of misconceptions I had about Pern.I always thought it was some kind of meidevil fantay land when really it was a bunch of colonists out looking for a new start in life and they abviously found it.I would have never thought that the pernese were descendants of a hightech/industrious anscestry.I think that is way cool.Well after you get through all the technological mumbo jumbo it/s actually really good.I'd tell you more but I won't spoil the surprises for you.Book Review: Solid Pern Storyline
Summary: 4 Stars
Dragonsdawn is one of a line of books centered around the original trilogy based on Pern. Anne McCaffrey does a good job explaining the origins of humans on Pern, and what many of the "missing" capabilities that their ancestors miss so much actually are. Although this is the most science-fictiony of her Pern books, it by no means gets mired in the details. The book is much more character and plot oriented than technology oriented. Although many things are explained in this book, there are still some mysteries to keep the readers guessing.Book Review: I loved this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought that this book was one of the best I have ever read. It is for mature readers but is a good book. I would highly recomnd it to young adult readers. About a sivilization on a different planet and how it grows. About how the humans got there and how some people shoulden't be there. A touching story about people trying to populate a new planet. How they have a problem and solve it. I won't get into how they solve it that would give part of the story away. I think that for fantasy readers this is a must read.Book Review: Entertaining. A great look at the start of the Pern colony.
Summary: 5 Stars
Annie McCaffrey takes you the reader back to the start of the Pern Colony. After the spaceships up above Pern have been left for the surface and the colony has started for eight years the deadly rain known as Thread starts to fall. Then people see Fire-lizards flaming thread and wish they could only be bigger. So they set Kitty Ping, one of the most talented genetist ever, to make the Fire-lizards larger. Great story, very entertaing reading about the heroics of the first Dragon riders and the people of PernBook Review: Dragonsdawn
Summary: 5 Stars
I had recently finished LOTR and was bored with Harry Potter, so I looked online and found Dragonsdawn and the Pern series.
If you like fantsay/scifi,you will love this book about a bunch of colonists that settle on a plantet called Pern. Little do they know that every 200 years, Thead(it eats anyting organic)spins down from the skies.
The book talks about how they survive and manage to develop fire breathing dragons to fight Thread. ( And if you like love stories, you will love it)
