Work detailsDragonsong by Anne McCaffrey
I really loved Menolly, so I loved this book too. I loved the little fire-lizards, too. (  ) shanaqui | Apr 9, 2013 |  Harper Hall trilogy #1 ( ) ogorobez | Apr 6, 2013 | I remember reading this when I was young, and really enjoying the book... For some reason, I never read the others in the series, so this may be something I should pick up in the future. ( ) TheBecks | Apr 1, 2013 | This review will have to do for all of McCaffrey's books, except Dragonsdawn, which gets its own review. These were my first Fantasy books, and I loved them to pieces. They don't hold up as favorites in my adult life, though, there isn't enough there to keep me reading. But I would recommend them without hesitation to a YA audience. ( ) amaraduende | Mar 30, 2013 | Dragonsong is the first Pern book I read, and it's among the better ones, for sure. It's a Young Adult book - the protagonist is fifteen, and her worries are that of a fifteen-year-old, not the earthshaking epic issues of the adult Pern books. That doesn't detract at all from the lovely world and the genuine horribleness of Menolly's family and situation. It does suffer a little from Cackling Bad Guy syndrome - it's not entirely clear why her family is so consistently horrible to her - but they fade from the story after the first third and it's no longer an issue. And the obvious and tedious sexism is a handy blanket excuse for all sorts of things. (  ) JeremyPreacher | Mar 30, 2013 | no reviews | add a review Is contained inHas as a reference guide/companion
