5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to believe this was written decades ago!, August 30, 2002
By Dawn M. Smoker (Mechanicsburg, PA USA) - See all my reviews
  
This is Anne McCaffrey's first published novel. Despite having been originally published decades ago, the story is only slightly dated. I think it shows how far ahead of her time she was when it came to depicting strong women in Science Fiction. The heroine and hero have attitudes that would not be out of place in a current SF book.

This book has a bit of everything in it, alien abduction, political intrigue, battles against horrific aliens, and a romance. The heroine is an earth woman who somehow finds herself on an alien planet. She slowly returns to a normal mental state to find herself in some sort of mental institution, not as a patient, but as a worker! She soon realizes that the man she is caring for is being drugged against his will and decides to save him. From that point on she becomes entangled in the political intrigues of the planet she is on and will come to play a pivotal role in the salvation of the planet, both from dangers within and from space!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sara gets it all, November 17, 2004
"Restoree" is no literary masterpiece, but it's still great fun to read. It's the kind of book to curl up with when you want something relatively mindless but comforting and not too trashy. It's not McCaffery's strongest, but it's my favorite. The SF elements are a bit dated in concept and the characters are not too deep, but it all work wells in combination with the romance. The ugly duckling-to-swan motif is one that rings a lot of bells. The thought of waking up as a better version of yourself, saving the day, and in the process snagging the hero always has appeal.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Science Fiction Romance genre did NOT begin in the 1990s, August 6, 2004
By Fruit Loop (Down South) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This is one of the first sci-fi romance/adventures, with Sara being kidnapped by evil, man-eating aliens and carried away to a distant world where she finds adventure, love, AND a fabulous new body! This heroine is anything but weak, and guys, don't pass it up as a "romance." There's plenty of action for you here too, with space battles and male characters who are definitely "real men." Read and enjoy!
