Title: How to Be a Pirate
Series: How to Train Your Dragon - 2nd book
Author: Cressida Cowell
Read Before: no
My Comments: Is it enjoyable? It’s okay. Is it funny? Not really. So what has this book have that’s going for it? Not too much I would say. Hiccup isn’t really a likable character and neither is his dragon, Toothless. Toothless is selfish and like Hiccup, he’s not really that special. You keep waiting, waiting until that moment where they truly show their specialness, but they never do. Hiccup fails in everything until right near the end, but even that victory isn’t worthy of celebration. The humour can be childish and immature at times, and the plot feels bland and flat. Repetition occurs throughout the story.
