Chao Man a13453542123453 — A brief forward to the review: “Dragonsong” is the first book in Anne McCaffrey’s Harper Hall trilogy. The series is generally catalogued as children’s (at least in the nypl catalog) but is really for any readers. Like many of McCaffrey’s novels, it’s set in the world of Pern. I haven’t read anything but this trilogy yet, but am pretty sure these novels (from the 1970s) operate as prequels to the other more adult oriented novels. Oh, and I absolutely loved the entire trilogy. On to the review: Menolly was born in the small fishing village of Half Circle Sea Hold on Pern. Despite her father’s leadership position in the community, Menolly finds herself with very little freedom–especially freedom to make music, her one bliss. When Petiron, the village’s old Harper, passes away Menolly’s parents realize with some horror that their daughter is the only one who can take up the Harper’s duties until a replacement is sent from the Harper Hall. Once this replacement arrives, Menolly is ordered to abandon her music (even in her head) on threat of physical harm in order to save her family and the hold from the scandal of having produced a girl Harper. Her hopes shattered, Menolly runs away from the hold and takes refuge in a beach cave where Menolly discovers a nest of the much sought after (and semi-mythical) fire lizards. After finding her new friends, things begin to look up for Menolly who realizes that anything is possible if you aren’t afraid of going after what you want. There’s more to the plot, of course, but all of that is better learned by reading the book instead of this review. “Dragonsong” is written in what I would call an understated style. McCaffrey isn’t at pains to illustrate her talent as a writer–she knows she’s good and has a story worth telling. Having never read about Pern, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Despite a mildly confusing start, McCaffrey created a story here that functions as a standalone from the larger world of the Pern series. Furthermore, she also expertly builds up the landscapes and cities of Pern the better for readers to imagine them. The other thing that I really like about this story is that it has a fairly narrow focus. The novel centers on Menolly and her journey to the Harper Hall. There are a lot of stories out there about girls who are told they don’t deserve much from life, or girls who think they can’t do what they really want to do. In a way, Menolly has that problem–especially because of her parents. But she’s more than that too. As the novel progresses, Menolly begins to realize with the help of her friends (fire lizard and otherwise) that she deserves better and that there is more to life than pleasing others. So, on the one hand we have a wonderfully written fantasy novel that is arguably the first word on Dragon stories in the genre. On the other hand we have the story of a girl finding her own way in the world as she discovers that she’s a much stronger, smarter and more vibrant girl than her parents would have her believe.

Jake Smit _ake_mit — Yüzüklerin Efendisi üçlemesi her zaman tüm zamanların en sevdiğim kitaplarıydı ... Ben Doğu Of Eden'i okuyana kadar. Şimdi onlar benim tüm zamanların en sevdiğim fantezisi. Yine de bu pek adil görünmüyor, çünkü orada o kadar büyük bir fantezi yok. Neyse, NOBODY JRR Tolkien gibi yazıyor. Onunla tanışmak için sabırsızlanıyorum. Son çizgiyi bitirdiğimde beni bunaltan iki duygudan biri veya her ikisi tarafından büyük ve zamansız bir sanat eseri okuduğumu her zaman biliyorum. 1) Bittiği için hüzünlü bir pişmanlık, 2) Tekrar okumak için acil bir istek. LOTR'u bitirdiğimde bu duyguların ikisini de hissettim. Şimdiye kadar okuduğum en şaşırtıcı kitaplar - 1981 olmasına rağmen ve o zamandan beri yüzlerce kitap okudum, hala hiçbir şeyin LOTR ile karşılaştırılamayacağını biliyorum. Tolkien'in yarattığı dünyalar, ırklar ve diller - hem yazılı hem de sözlü! Her bir karaktere, her sohbete, her düşünceye, her ayrıntılı açıklamaya, her yolculuğa, ayrıntılı haritalara verilen derinlik! Tek kelimeyle şaşırtıcı, benzersiz. Birçok yazar derin bir duygu uyandırma yeteneğine sahiptir, ancak Tolkien sadece bir sınıftadır. Nasıl? Neden? O, okuyucunun hayal gücünü kontrol etmenin eşsiz ustasıdır. Bizi en karanlık, en korkutucu kötülük uçurumunun uçurumuna götürür, hikaye boyunca bizi tekrar tekrar orada tutabilir, ancak her zaman parıldayan, ancak zayıf olan bir umut vardır. İyinin çıkaracağı derin, sözsüz bilgi - Kötülükten daha güçlüdür. Nasıl kazanacağını bilmiyoruz, ama biliyoruz. Edebiyatın başka hiçbir yerinde zihnin gözü, kalbin telleri üzerinde bu inanılmaz gücü bulamıyoruz. Çünkü, gerçekten, başka hiçbir yerde akıl almaz cesaret, onur, görev, dürüstlük, alçakgönüllülük ve sevgi yüksekliklerini, ne de ahlaksızlık, korku, açgözlülük, gurur, bencillik ve nefretin derinliklerini bulamayız. Sonunda, bu hayattaki her şeyle aynı büyüklükte olduğu gibi, hepsi Sevgiye düşer. Gerçekten, "bunların en büyüğü aşktır", "aşk her şeyi fetheder", "aşk çok sayıda günahı kapsar". LOTR'da günü kazanan sevgidir. Kendinden daha yüksek bir şeye aşk. Özverili, nazik, nazik, güçlü ve bükülmez, acımasız, durmayan, kurban, parlayan ... aşk.

Jacques Alomo jacquesalomo — this is one of those books that will stay with me for a long long time... i loved it!!

Atakan şalcıoğlu atakansal — I LOVED this book. Seriously, I am "book drunk" after reading it. I keep thinking about it and re-reading my favorite portions. I borrowed it from the library, but obviously will have to buy my own copy! It was a pure delight to read! What "Jane(Austen)Junkie" doesn't long to step back into time and find herself in Regency England? The concept of Austenland is just that-for the character, Charlotte, and the reader! I really felt like I was living vicariously through Charlotte! The original novel (Austenland) was a fun read, but I felt like this was even better b/c of the mystery aspect. The whole premise of women going to Pembrook Park and playing make believe gets even more complex when there is a mystery...only is it a make believe mystery or a REAL one? Such fun! I loved the Inner Thoughts of Charlotte and how her real life (shown through flash backs) played out in her stay at Pembrook and how she grew as an individual through her experiences in "Austenland." I liked that she was described as "nice." Not flashy, not eccentric, just nice and how she could still be delightfully interesting to read about. The book was laugh out loud funny-soo many witty lines! It was also very suspenseful and so well done that I was actually jumpy while reading it! I love that a book can have that effect! And the romance was charming-so nicely done! I highly recommend this book and am crossing my fingers that they will make a movie of it too! In a word, it was DELIGHTFUL!

Taran Manes taran_manes — I really enjoyed the first part of the book and the last part of the book...in the middle Dawkins got a tad too technical for me. Mostly it was interesting to hear how he combats the typical arguments of religious people and just having a few counterpunches in my arsenal made it a worthwhile read.
