To everyone who's only familiar with the movie/series adaptation of How to Train your Dragon, I can't emphasize enough on how the books are SO much better. I mean, the animated version isn't bad or anything, it's certainly enjoyable, but the books...the BOOKS!Yes, one of the biggest differences invo...

Young Hiccup is to be initiated into his tribe but first he must capture, tame and train a dragon. Unfortunately he manages to capture the smallest most disobedient dragon out of the dragon caves, Toothless.

How to Twist a Dragon's Tale is the fifth "How to Train Your Dragon" book, and the first I did not listen to as an audiobook. As in there was a distinct lack of David Tennant. I accidently added the audiobook version of the book when I first put it on my shelves because I was so used to them. For wh...

I have to admit I enjoyed the second book much more than the first one - even though I did have much fun reading the first installment too. But here's what made How to Be a Pirate just that little bit better:- Hiccup, the hero of the story, discovers a few hidden talents of his, and the reader gets ...
