These three books chronicle the adventures of the heroes of Pern. Pern was a human colony that faced extinction from the dreaded Thread - mychorrizoid spores that destroyed any living matter. Their salvation turned out to be fire lizards that they enlarged and called dragons, after the Earth legends long forgotten. These Dragons impressed telepathic people a their partners for life. Together, these heroes fought the deadly Thread, keeping the planet Pern safe for the people. This is a fast paced trilogy that has an excellent plot. Unfortunately, the story moved too quick for the characters to develop properly - even after over 750 pages. However, those who like Dragons and a fast-paced epic adventure will love this book. — Roshan

This last book in the Harry Potter series was well worth waiting for - and is worth its weight in galleons! I loved reading this book and coud not put it down! Through all the twists and turnsm J. K. Rowling managed to tie together all the lose ends from the previous book. Although there were many sad deaths, she managed to convey a necessity and a closure for every one. She came through, and the result was a wonderful, thrilling, and breathtaking book. —Roshan
