The Skies of Pern Audiobook

" All of Anne's books, even if they form a trilogy, can be read alone and not much gets lost. Each of her books are their own story. Sadly, that is not the case with this one. I felt like I picked up a book that the first few chapters ripped out which left me lost and always a little behind. There were a lot of different people that popped in and out with very little warning and despite there being a ton of dialogue, they really didn't talk about what was going on very much. It was hard to get involved with them because it really felt like they were in their own little world and I was sitting at a distance eavesdropping and trying to figure out what is going on based on what I could hear. I'm just glad that I borrowed this book from the library and didn't waste my money on it. "

" I don't usually cry over books, but there were some spots that i teared up over. I'm glad that Anne Mccaffrey got to finish it before she died. :) "

" A great tribute to the First Lady of Dragons. The survival of Pern rests on the shoulders of the first female Blue dragon rider. Xhinna is both dragon rider, weyrwoman, and flight leader. It is her strength and courage that brings the dragons of Pern back to full strength in time to fight Thread once again. "

" fantasy/sci=fi...dragons galore! still loving this series. suitable for young readers as well. "

" Parts of this were very enjoyable, but parts got rather confusing with the jumping forward and backward in time. I have found that to be more and more the case in the last few books. I still love the characters, but I have a hard time following where the story is ultimately going which I think is too bad. This, of course, was Anne's last book. The end of an era. "

" Definitely nice to be back on Pern but I found there were just too many characters to keep straight. Good story and a addition to the genre, but not the most riveting that I've read. "

" Enjoyed this book. Though the interaction between characters seem too involved and too many names were alike. "

" That's my Pern fix over & done with for awhile "

" liked the early books in the series best "

" this is Anne's last book. It is as good as the first. Here Dragon Riders of Pern series is a must read to all who love Dragons, Sci-fi, fantasy and well written books. Anne McCaffrey is one of the BEST "

" As always, awesome. But if you haven't read the previous books it's a bit confusing in the beginning. "

" I'm giving it one star because I can't give it less. This book is a serious disappointment, and quite honestly not worth the time spent reading it. I think it's time to say good-bye to Pern, not keep churning out more extruded book product set in a universe that used to be really cool to read. "

" Even though I have read other books in this series and enjoyed them I found this one hard to follow. I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped I would. "

" Good story. Kept me interested all the way to the end. Did seem to get a little - tangled. "

" Another great installment for fans of the series, but if you haven't already read the previous volumes, I don't think it will mean much to you. Well worth going back and reading the others first though. "

" I really wanted to love this, but it was overpopulated, confusing and just not as good as the earlier Pern books. "

" I was worried throughout the book, but it seemed the resolution took an awfully long time to reach. "

" Frankly, this bored me. I skimmed at the end, and I do not skim! Todd McCaffrey added so many new factors in his books, and some of them were good, but many others have gotten tiresome. This entire book is a non-event. "

" This definitely is a book that wouldn't be able to stand alone - it's very obviously a series book. XD But I love F'lessan and his relationship with Tai, so overall it was a great read. The Abominators were dealt with too easily, though. "

" Definitely my favourite book in the Pern series so far! You've got to read this one. "

" I love F'lessan and Tai but this one was a little too long. It could have definitely used some editing. I know this is the last book of this Pass that McCaffrey wrote, but it seems to have left a lot of loose ends like she meant to write more. "

" 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. "

" The Dragonriders of Pern are as resilient as usual. When faced with the demise of their responsibilities as the Red Star's final Pass is almost over, they find a way to remain useful and relevant to their home planet and peoples. "

" My favorite of the original series. Excellently ties everything together by using the past & future of the Pern at the same time. Anne McCaffrey out-does herself with this book. "

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

" Good if you like a good fantasy... "

" Doesn't really add anything to the series. "

" I will always love her classic characters best, but this story is a laudable continuation of the Pern saga. I was hoping we'd get more stories about dragons intercepting meteors, but she chose to focus on a different time period once her son started pitching in. "
