The Girl Who Heard Dragons (Abridged) Audiobook

" Only 1 Pern story. :( "

" When I grabbed this book in a hurry just before the library was about to close, I assumed it would be all Pern stories. I was a little disappointed, since what I was after was more Pern, but most of the stories were good. I'm not as much of a fan of "pure sci-fi" so those stories were a little harder for me to like. "

" Only made it through the first four stories. I kind of liked the first one and will definitely be trying McCaffrey's novel Dragonflight, as the universe of Pern seems to have a lot of potential. Otherwise, the stories weren't terrible, I just couldn't get into them and decided to move on with my life. "

" Loved the first story--not the rest. A book of short stories usually ebbs and flows. In this case, the title story makes it worth checking out of the library, but I'm glad I don't own it. "

" Am going to re-read this one as it is so long ago since I first read it. I do love well written short stories and I do remember this as falling into that category. "

" I went through an Anne McCaffery phase... "

" Intriguing collection of short stories by Anne McCaffrey. Something there for nearly everyone who enjoys a bit of sci-fi. "

" Some of the stories in this collection are quite disturbing ("Velvet Fields," for example), but Aramina's story is another piece of Pern that eventually became an entire novel. "

" i like this all through the first part, then suddenly it changes and my leading girl is lost and so am i.m "

" Fun, easy-going fantasy. Some of the back-stories in McCaffrey's dragon series. "

" This was just weird. I liked about two stories in this collection of 15. I don't think I finished reading all of them before. "

" Collection of short stories by McCaffrey, some in her established universes and some which stand alone. Well written and easy to read, as always with her books. "

" I have read almost all of the Pern books and they are all very good. "

" I've only read the title story in this series of short stories. It was a good background story of Aramina. "

" I had forgotten that I had already read this collection of short stories. Liked some and did not like others... "

" Anne McCaffrey has written an absolutely wonderful fantasy series. Her Pern novels are beautifully written and very enjoyable individually or as a whole. "

" 14th Pern story in publication order. "

" Elizabeth Kerner can write dragon better "

" Love this series. Glad her son continued it! ^-^ "

" Anna uses descriptive words so a picture is painted in your mind. A beautiful beautiful fantasy story. "

" I didn't like this one as much because I honestly couldn't understand why a girl who heard dragons wanted to avoid them. This book is trying to explain it. I just didn't feel it. It was just okay for me. "

" This collection of short stories only contained one relating to the Dragonriders of Pern for which the author is famous, but the rest of the stories have made me want to read her work outside that series. "

" Enjoyable collection of stories covering several of McCaffrey's various series - a good sampling. "

" A nice collection of short stories, some fantasy, some science fiction, some general fiction. An enjoyable read. "

" Excellent book, very well written. I thought the story line flowed very well. "

" This book has 15 short stories from Sci-Fi to mainstream. One story is about Pern. All are excellent. "

" An uninspired collection further weakened by Ms. McCaffrey's inexplicable need to begin her book with an oddly long essay about every single time a stranger or acquaintance recognized her name. Frankly, Anne McCaffrey, I don't much care. "

" I've only read the title story in this series of short stories. It was a good background story of Aramina. "

" Have read about 50 of Anne McCaffrey's books, and with each passing story I like the mind of this amazing author. I was sort of disappointed that there was only one Pern story, but the rest of the book brought out some nice stories anyway. "

" Excellent book, very well written. I thought the story line flowed very well. "

" This collection of short stories only contained one relating to the Dragonriders of Pern for which the author is famous, but the rest of the stories have made me want to read her work outside that series. "

" This is a book of fantastic shorts including a Pern story from the Renegades era. This is a must read for any McCaffrey fan! "

" Some of the stories in this collection are quite disturbing ("Velvet Fields," for example), but Aramina's story is another piece of Pern that eventually became an entire novel. "

" Love this series. Glad her son continued it! ^-^ "

" Another of the reviewers mentioned that she bought this for the Pern story - Me Too! I did like most of the other stories, but I am not a big fan of short stories, in general. "

" I liked the story on the girl who hear dragons but I didn't like the other stories that went with it. "
