DragonFlight -- First Impressions & Terms (Part 1)

Dande:

Welcome to the second formal meeting of the Morris YA Book Club!

Smiley:

How many people have actually finished reading the book?

[about half]

Dande:

It's a good thing Wvskier is here, since she's read the whole series. I've read a lot of the books, but not all of them. I never tried to systematically go through them or anything. I just read the ones that were at the library.

Wvskier:

I have the six directly related to the Weyrs.

Smiley:

Do you want to begin?

Dande:

First impressions?

Walle:

I think that the author's writing style was a bit different. Sometimes, I had to read the sentences over again, because when you read it the first time I thought it was a fragment or something, and then I had to go back, and search . . .

Dande:

Well I noticed a couple that were fragments—but I think it was definitely different. I think it was partly because it was written so long ago that they had a different writing style back then. 

Walle:

Sometimes they used very hard words.

[laughs]

Newhope:

The vocabulary I didn't very much like—how they kept introducing terms but didn't really explain them.
