    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoy 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 ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10838418">more...</a>]]></body>
