Book Reviews of Dragonsdawn (Dragonriders of Pern Series)
Book Review: 420 Pages of Chatter
Summary: 1 Stars
This book was a terrible drag to me. Not only is the plot very slow, but it's also unbalanced in a sense that AMC procrastinates pages after pages on irrelevant points and quickly bundles up essential matters in a few sentences. For example, results of essential conversations are reported in three sentences instead of providing the conversation itself. The same occurs with the experiences with Dragons, or with the death of some characters.
Then it makes the book complicated to read because you can't predict what you can safely skip... After a while, you get frustrated and end up skipping paragraphs because you just don't care about anyone any more. Never mind who is who and who does what.
Eventually, less than 10 pages out of 420 remain in my mind. A pretty bad score, indeed.
