Yarbro, Chelsea Quinn [AL] [BL] [BR]

[Berkley; 1986; 0425090817; $3.50] [BB]

[Cause: MA Result: BX/AN.] An amusing fantasy featuring a dragon-slaying prince trying to kill a maiden who has been transformed into a pint-sized dragon. -42
Any book that comes with sheet music in the back can't be all bad. Also, Chuq von Rospach gave this book a ****+ out of 5 stars. -Ph

[Warner; 1989; 0446355917, $4.95] [BB]

[Result: LY.] Lycanthropy. -83
A werewolf story that never quite becomes a werewolf story. Crazed lunatic runs around a la Jekyll & Hyde. Disappointing. -87

[Warner; 1983; 0446301027, $3.95] [BB]

[ACE; 1978; 0441117392; $1.75] [BB]

SF; Rating: 2 Cause: AS Result: SC/GC Significance: + Description: 0 Saturation: +. Science has provided the ability to change shape; governments have limited its use to a planet of actors. Lots of transformations, descriptions are OK, the characters are frequently unsympathetic, and parts of the book are not for the faint of heart. -11

[?]

[Cause: MC? Result: BX/AN/IN.] The heroine can get Tam Lin as her husband (essential; she's pregnant by him) only by holding on to him while he's shapechanged into a snake, a redhot iron rod, etc. -82

[Cause: AS/GM Result: BM/AN/PE.] Change Consumer Genetic Enginering. Most changes in the book are cosmetic. Green skin look like Madonna or Elvis. Grow taller, grow hair etc. Main bad guys are genetically changed lunatics that look like hammerhead sharks with the sole perpose to kill all land based lifeforms. Not only are their looks changed; so are their minds. Johnny, one of the heroes of the book, is just as crazy as the hammerheads' leader. A must read when it comes out in paper back. -110
