As Barry Hughart said, sometimes we all need to go back and relive our childhoods. That's the main reason I read this book.

Let's see: Sean is a jerk. I never really noticed this when I was a kid. Very much a Babies Make Everything Better book. Hard not to think the the Renewable Air Force document and cringe. (If you never participated in Pern fandom this won't make any sense. Just ignore it, you'll be happier not knowing.)

It was interesting to get this look at very early Pern. And to think that that the worldbuilding was actually planned.

The dates here are for a re-read, and are approximate.
