Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

One of my favorite things to do is to tell my husband, "I know you'll miss me but I'm going to Pern." There I would stay until it was time to come home. I had this automatically down loaded. Curled up and then... I had to reread the first few pages several times to try to meet and remember the characters, strangers kept popping up. Even harder to follow when the names are contracted and similar. What happened that sexual orientation became an issue on Pern? Who cares? What did it lend to the plot? Less than 5 times have I closed a book and quit reading. I had to add this to the list. So disappointing to have waited and been let down.
