Freedom's Landing

I've read many Pern novels as well as The Crystal Singer (all before I started writing reviews, so no links). I really like McCaffrey, even though some of those early Pern novels didn't have the best writing. So when this came up as a possible selection for my book club, I was gung ho about reading it and voted for it. Well, this was one of the most boring books I've read this year. It's one of her later novels (1995) and the prose and dialogue is very good. The story just wasn't all that interesting. It took me about half the book to be interested in the main character and more than that to be interested in plot. It took me a full week to get through this novel of a little over three hundred pages, which is slow for me. This book is the first of a four-part series, and I have no desire to read the rest.
