Good book and fun. I've always been told to read this now that I have it was interesting. I didn't find the stories at all compelling and each book specifically led into the next one leaving opened plot holes to be filled in. I don't know if that was planned by the author or not.

A few people have stated that the sexism was a bit much to take but without giving away too much it was very tame compared to maybe the series of "A Song of Fire and Ice". There was a bit a slapping around of women and taking and holding women to you until they conceded they wanted the character. But it fit the period in Pern. So to be offended I couldn't be.

Again, it was good and went in directions that I didn't think made much sense but just told a story.
