The Masterharper of Pern Audiobook

" A whole book devoted to one of my favorite characters in the Pern series! Probably not a good entry into the series, as the focus is on the backstory of Robinton, his early life, and how he became Masterharper. "

" Slow start to this one but great character development and relationships. "

" Fills in the gaps in Pern's history. No nearly as well crafted as her others Pern books. "

" Of all the various Pern novels, the Harper Hall series are my favorites. "

" McCaffrey offers a prelude to her original Dragonrider novels by revisiting a main character of those stories, Masterharper Robinton. However this might be more interesting if he was more of a protagonist and less of an observer to events happening about Pern. This sort of treatment cumulates at the end of the book when Robinton finds himself present to one of the most important scenes of the entire series, a Forest Gump like insertion into the storyline. An ok story, but could have been so much more. "

" this is a book i always enjoy re-reading. now i have to figure out which books include F'lar and F'nor since i'm in the mood to re-read the stories that come after this one. "

" Great story, tells more about Robinton and his life,good reading for all! "

" This is my favorite of the Pern novels that I have read. "

" Good telling of the original Pern series from another point of view. Enjoyed it very much. "

" Had a fantasy binge for quite some time so I'll be handling these reviews with canned factory responses. Decent read. "

" Good, but predictable. I enjoy the world McCaffrery has created and all the points of she (and now her son) write from. Entertaining and worth the time to read. "

" slow. kludgy. needlessly, painfully detailed. "

" A nice Pern novel, gives you the overview life story of one of the more popular characters. Not the most exciting Pern book, but a nice leisurely read. "

" Definitely one of my favourite Pern books, it tells the story of the beloved Masterharper Robinton and ties into the beginning of the first novel in the series. "

" Robinton was a great love of my life. His life story was emotional and inspiring. I enjoyed this book so very much! "

" Sings History... "

" I still like this book just not as much as all the originals. I think my taste for Fantasy Fiction has waned in light of the number of non-fiction works I want to read. "

" The Masterharper of Pern was ever the fascinating man, and this book provides insight into who he is and was, clarifying facts and issues. I really enjoyed the insight into Pernese history and the great expanse of the world. "

" I was introduced to Pern by my husband. My favorite Pern books are this one and the Harper Hall Trilogy. Robinton is the kind of man that makes you feel as if anything could be possible and yet it is still alright to have flaws. I believe this is Anne McCaffrey at her best. "

" Probably the least favorite of the Pern books I have read, but still good. "

" I loved this whole book except for the ending. The ending felt like it was cobbled onto the end and read like a so-so piece of fan fiction. But the rest of the book was amazing. It chronicles Master Robinton's life from his birth to Dragonflight with all the joys and tradgeys in it. "

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

" My favorite of all the Pern novels, which says A LOT. Perfect. A cant miss! "

" Oh, Robinton. How I love you. I couldn't wait to get to this book because he's my favorite character on Pern. It's hard to believe he had such a difficult past, though. So much tragedy, but obviously, it helped him come into his own as one of the most loved figures in the series. "

" Of all the various Pern novels, the Harper Hall series are my favorites. "

" This is one of the best books in the series. We get to see the live of Robinet, Masterharper, and he is fascinating. I really enjoyed the fact that we see is entire life (up until where the next books take place). It is a great background story for one of the more interesting characters of Pern. "

" If you love dragon books and great characters McCaffrey is your author. These books in my opinion are for adults. The dragons and humans have unmoral habits. "

" One of the two best books in the series. Moving. "

" Robinton was always one of my favorite characters so I really enjoyed this one.... "

" AT LAST A WHOLE BOOK ABOUT MY FAVORITE PERNESE CITIZEN: MASTER ROBINTON....GOOD LEADUP TO THE MAIN EVENTS IN HIS LIFE: LISSA&FLAR, JAXOM&RUTH,THE DRAGON, MENNOLLY,PIEMORE, THE DISCOVERY OF THE FIRST LANDING SITE... "

" Oh, Robinton. How I love you. I couldn't wait to get to this book because he's my favorite character on Pern. It's hard to believe he had such a difficult past, though. So much tragedy, but obviously, it helped him come into his own as one of the most loved figures in the series. "

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

" Pern is one of my favorite fictional worlds. Anne McCaffrey truly makes it come to life. "
