cjrayl 's review for:
The Masterharper of Pern
by Anne McCaffrey
I'm waffling a bit on whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. McCaffrey is an excellent author and her Pern series are well developed and enjoyed by legions of fantasy readers. Not being much of a fantasy reader, I thought I would give this audio book a try since it sounded interesting and would make for a good listen while working around the house.
Basically, if someone is looking for a book that is all about one character and his growth from childhood to older adult with light, frothy events, then they will like this book. There is a light touch of tension throughout with normal, personal type problems and situations but overall this is a long, drawn out story that brings a different look at the social makeup of Pern. I found myself waiting for some backbone, some intensity, some emotional growth/discovery with the main character but nope.
This was the audio book (bought on sale) and I must say the narrator was very good.
