I bought this book for my wife as a Christmas gift and she loves it. The book is in great shape and we received it in a timely manner. Thank you.
White Dragon on Kindle September 18, 2009

The White Dragon is one of my favorites of the Pern series. I'm very glad to see them all available on Kindle.
However there is a drawback with the Kindle versions. The maps of Pern at the front of the book seem to be printed very fuzzily. I enlarged the maps on my DX and the images were still too fuzzy to read the map text clearly.
This is not a major problem at all, in fact I just printed out the maps available on the net for reference while I read.
Still, I think publishers should look carefully at any illustrations in Kindle editions to make sure they are clearly readable. I've seen the problem in other books as well.
 A Ground Breaking Achievement for McCaffrey! September 13, 2009
Read Rover (FL)
This, the final installment of the Dragonriders of Pern trilogy, made literary history as it catapulted into the New York Times best seller list for Science Fiction & Fantasy with its release and made Anne McCaffrey the first female fantasy writer to do so. It's my personal favorite in the trilogy and proves a useful gateway to the rest of the Pern stories as the central characters in this volume are carried throughout the rest.
Young Jaxom, the Lord of Ruatha, finds himself in a precarious situation concerning a small white dragon called Ruth. This story relates their adventures in getting to know each other as well as their struggle to define themselves and their place in the world of Pern. Some mild sensuality is expressed in some passages, though McCaffrey always treats these with class and dignity so that nothing graphic spoils the experience for young readers.
McCaffrey expanded the trilogy to more fully develop secondary characters as well as establish a history for the people of Pern. Once this trilogy has been consumed, readers will want to dive in to the stories of Menolly, Master Robinton, Piemur and others in The Master Harper, Dragondrums, Dragonsinger, and Dragonsong.
This series is appropriate for young readers as well as those of us who still enjoy the tales spun by a master story teller. I have read the entire series on many occasions. The paperbacks make fabulous beach and vacation reading.
LOVE the Dragons! March 4, 2009

This was the first novel I read as a young person and I was insantly hooked on the love of Anne McCaffery's Dragons! I've read all of them...and looked forward to each new book in the series. Having started in the 3rd book...I had to go 'back' and read the other two.
I'm so glad that my mother had these on her shelf when I was young; as well as so many other authors. Anne's detail and characters are so 'life-like' and real that it was easy to imagine 'being there' (or wishing you were!).
I am handing down my collection to my daughters so that they can enjoy the Dragons also!

This is an audiobook which is third in the Dragonriders series by Anne McCaffrey. I am a Anne McCaffrey fan and am delighted with the new Audio CD's being produced - especially with this reader!
