Description Conducive To Books Crystal Singer (Crystal Singer #1)

I read this book as a youth and loved it, but reading it now at age 45 it does not quite hold the same appeal. I see a woman that is hell-bent on remaining without attachments. She is very bright and talented, but remains aloof emotionally (the come-and-go sexual relationships), socially, psychologically (huge ego), physically (her choice of profession). Originally the high achievement in a difficult occupation was fascinating, a work that required all sacrifice--something I dreamed of myself. Now, however, I have found the importance of relationships and a social life unlike at any other time in my life, and know that the career and high achievement may need to be sacrificed for these things I deem more important. The story is well-written, Killa is an interesting well-drawn, but the story no longer speaks to me. I may not even finish it this time around.

Dis cover.Old-school sci-fi (1982). Only $2.99. I need to try it.... plus, I lurve the musics and singing.

This book sucks you in with a compelling protagonist, who is given an unfair hardship in life and strives to overcome it. It then introduces a new job for her that she is warned against, as it is incredibly dangerous and life -altering. She is told of the dangers again and again, and bravely accepts these challenges. And then she goes on to experience none of them. This is what's so bothersome about the book to me. To live in the new planet's biome she must first become acclimated to a symbiotic

An old favouriteI've lost count of the number of times I've read this book and it has been a few years since the last time. It holds my attention as much now as it did the first time, when I was a teenager. Into my 40's now, maturity has brought greater understanding of some of the themes but not lost any of the compelling story. The character of Killashandra delights me in many ways but also brings recognition of her flaws. McCaffrey was always a genius at creating human characters that you

The Good: The late great Anne McCaffrey had a wonderful way with words, as is evident here. Crisp writing and lots of details took me to another galaxy without leaving my chair. Killashandra was a likable heroine; despite dire circumstances, she refused to give up, and overcame her shattered longtime dream.The Bad: Unfortunately, Ms. McCaffrey also decided to include some bedroom scenes which include sexual details that smack of a trashy paperback romance at times. Those who are sensitive to

My wife is an avid fan of McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series, so wanted me to read this one to her because of the author (she enjoys being read to aloud, as well as reading by herself); but neither of us liked this particular book, nor wanted to pursue the rest of the series after finishing it. Killashandra is far too self-centered to be a very appealing or involving character. And while the use of a symbiotic relationship, with psi features, between a human and an alien life form is

Anne McCaffrey has creative ideas in forming new worlds. I also deeply enjoy reading her books even though they are not literature. Even so, it should be noted that McCaffrey has a general formula which simplified would be something like this:1 - Girl has exceptional ability2 - Girl is repressed unfairly by those close to her3 - Someone recognizes girl's unique abilities4 - Girl becomes successful5 - Along the way girl finds romance with man who appreciates her strength and he is primarily there
