Review

Wow. I can't believe it's taken me so long to embark upon this classic series, and it certainly doesn't disappoint. I was happy that I was able to guess how the book would end about two thirds of the way through, and immensely satisfied to see the end that McCaffrey promised eventually delivered. This is a study in great storytelling.
