Book Review: How to Train Your Dragon


Review:  #313
Title:  How to Train Your Dragon
Series:  How to Train Your Dragon - 1st book
Author:  Cressida Cowell
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  Not quite the story I was looking for.  This had a very basic plot, with little to not complexity, but considering the target audience, I guess that was to be expected.  The illustrations were a tad bit too rough, so it didn't add to the text, and wasn't great to look at.  This had seemed to be a short picture story book stretched out to a full blown novel.  You could guess what was going to happen and how to defeat the two gigantic dragons that had turned up.  Hiccup wasn't really a likeable character, nothing spectacular happened such that you could feel proud of Hiccup and his dragon Toothless.  I was disappointed.
