As is a common theme in my reviews, I love dragons and this: is basically my dream. I loved this movie (both of them) and would do just about anything to have my own toothless. I had heard that the book series was very different, but I also saw it was read by: and most of the series w...

I came into this book knowing it wasn't quite like the movie, but that a great many people found it to be cute in its own right. And having read it, I think I agree. :) Hiccup is the son of the chief of his viking tribe, which means a lot is expected of him. Unfortunately, despite him being a fair...

I do believe that there's more plot progression in this single book than in all of the previous books combined. Wow. Just...wow.This book tells the story of Hiccup's ancestor, Grimbeard the Ghastly (the one whose treasure was the main plot point of the second book in the series), uncovers Grimbeard'...

Ah, Snotlout. Here I thought the days of amnesia about Hiccup's accomplishments were behind us. You continue to prove me wrong.How to Ride a Dragon's Storm goes back to the "adventure recap" feeling of the first few books, and sets aside the overarching plot progression of the series. Don't get me w...

I was starting to wonder if the first two Hiccups would ever be mentioned. This Hiccup is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, but absolutely no mention had been made of where his name came from before this book. History repeats itself, it seems.We finally get to meet Camicazi's dragon, Stormfly, wh...

This is basically the first book, except with boats, treasure, and cannibals. Hiccup is terrible at being a Viking, a problem comes up, nobody listens to Hiccup, things go wrong, Hiccup uses his smarts to save the day. Oh, we find out that Hiccup's left-handed, though. So there's that, I suppose.Oth...

I watched the movie based on this book with my daughter the other day, and she absolutely adored the dragons. She kept growling at them. For some reason, she growls at things as a game. My daughter is weird.Anyway, point is, I figured I'd check out the series since I hadn't read it before, so that I...

I liked this book - it was witty and fun. Obviously, this book series is not aimed at my age group, but I still found it to be an enjoyable read, and I know that if I had read it at the age this book is targeted at I would have loved it. Now, what is 'How To Train Your Dragon' about? Well, the title...

I...was not expecting this book to make me cry, but I got choked up a few times, and the last page made me more than a little weepy.I know I said I wanted to know more about Fishlegs, but learning what had happened kind of broke my heart.Also, learning about how Hiccup got his name...holy crap, I'm ...
