Fantasy lovers
Ok, so you want to read a book on adventure and discovery. This book has it all. It has love and romance...but not to much thank God, then it has the adventure of a life time. Out of all the Dragon Riders of Pern books this is the best in my opinion. The whole dragon singers trilogy biegining with Dragon Song and Dragon Singer were great, but this book takes the cake. I know if your looking for the main character to be one of the glorious people to ride around on a dragon for the whole story you...more

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first 2 in the Harper Hall Trilogy. It focuses more on Piemur and I enjoyed the Melody storyline more. This is another book in the Dragonriders of Pern books. Some of the later books get into some homosexual references, which I don't enjoy reading about. It is a side element and not a main plot line. But because of this I would caution the young reader from getting into this series, until they can clearly think through this issue.

The final book in the "Harper Hall" series, Piemer (sp?)was introduced in "Dragonsinger" as a young boy with an angelic voice. But now his voice is changing with his growing body. What will he do now that he is not at the top of the heap as a singer? He takes up drums! And, he's part of an exploration of the mysterious Southern Continent.
Another enjoyable read from Anne McCaffrey!

Why couldn't she have stopped at two? Why does every fantasy series have to be a trilogy or longer? This mediocre book drags the whole Harper Hall trilogy down with it.

I really enjoyed Dragondrums because I found a new character that I adored in the world of Pern, Piemur. Also, the book is in the same time frame as the White Dragon and moves into the Renegades of Pern.
Although I'll miss thinking about Piemur's glorious soprano voice, I loved the man he became.

Most of the book was very entertaining, but near the end I was suddenly and thoroughly disappointed at the choice of the author to add an entire, random, contrived scene of gratuitous sexual innuendo to an otherwise clean and well-written trilogy.

Again a great addition to this series. This one adds in a new character and focuses on a different kind of music (drums!) but it's great writing and a wonderful story.

This is the third book in the trilogy. This book follows one of Melony's close friends and the adventures he has in the fantastical land of Pern.

I like this story in that it is similar to the first in the trilogy, but Piemur just doesn't interest me as much as Menolly.

Part of the Harper Hall trilogy, and part of the Pern series, where we meet Piemur, aspiring harper and mischief maker.

Dragondrums was a bit of a disappointment compared to the first two books. However you do go to the southern contanant.

Third in the Harper Hall trilogy, this story focuses mostly on Piemur, a young apprentice Harper. Great for all ages.

When she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid. This one is ok.

Goes on a bit of a different tangent, but still a great piece of the world of Pern.

Very disappointing after the first two really imaginative books in the trio.
