Yikes! I was excited to finally read one of Anne McCaffrey's books, but boy was I disappointed! I only got 60 pages into this one before I had to quit. I skimmed some of the rest of the book to see if it got any better, but nothing happened! And Menolly (aside from the great name) was really a nothing character! She just lets everyone beat her up and didn't do anything. When she finally runs away, it is by accident! And she had no personality! Uggh! Don't read this book! I would not attempt to read any others in the Pern series, especially if they are at all like this book.
