### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One of my favorite books of all time
  

*by �***� on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2018*

The premise of this book is so controversial in many ways, and yet this is my favorite book by Anne McCaffrey and has remained so for years. The idea that people who are so disabled that their body is basically a shell, but that they retain their intelligence and need to be useful… Well, look at Stephen Hawkings… What if he’d had no way to communicate. Here, disabled people are made the brains of wonderfully powerful ships, of cities, etc. They are given a life where they can communicate, but perhaps they aren’t given all the freedom that they deserve. Many awesome topics, many amazingly cool ideas, and the world-building and characterization is some of McCaffrey’s best. Frankly, I think some of McCaffrey’s books have not aged that well, but the Menolly/Piemur books and especially The Ship Who Sang will always remain among my favorites and returned to now and then for a satisfying re-read.Highly recommended for anyone who loves science fiction, fantasy, or Anne McCaffrey.

    My first sci-fi book back in the 1970s
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020*

This book was lent to me by a man I was dating at the time.  Had never read science-fiction or fantasy before.  After reading McCaffrey's The Ship Who Sang, I was hooked and I've been reading the genres periodically ever since.  Have lost count of the number of times I've read this book, just wish that McCaffrey had continued their story.  There is an "epilogue" to the book, called "The Honeymoon" in one of the short story collections of McCaffrey.  It is well worth looking for as it continues the story, but always left me with a wish to hear more about them.  A wonderfully creative book that has stood for decades as one of my favorite books.  I highly recommend it.

    Changeable
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2015*

One of my all-time favorite books! I bought this copy because my first copy needed to be retired before it fell apart completely. Editing errors and all, this is a wonderful wish fulfillment fantasy. Or is it? Is Anne McCaffrey actually in touch with the future, a parallel universe, or what?!  Buy this one for your teenager, boy or girl, they may make it one of their favorites. Kind of spooky, but as you age the important parts, interpretation, and meanings change. I'm 69, and get as much enjoyment and meaning as I did as a sophomore in High School when I first read the story. Just different!  I bought a copy of the book after I came back from Vietnam. It helped keep me (reasonably) sane. I still have that (worn out) book. If you've never read Anne McCaffery, this would be a great place to start.
