I really enjoyed reading this. It is short, funny and fast paced. I love the fact that Hiccup isn't the usual protagonist type is. He doesn't really fit into the viking type as well, but that makes him more enjoyable to read from and more relatable.

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 ...
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 didn't start reaily liking it untill chapter 14.
I think I liked this one more than the first, actually. I have three boys, so I giggle at farts and burps - there were plenty of both in this book. While it was definitely predictable, I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Book Toothless is infinitely better than movie Toothless. Fishlegs cracks me up....
I read these after watching the feature film from Dreamworks, which I greatly enjoyed. However, they are two very different things, no more so apparent than in the vastly different portrayals of Toothless. So, be aware of that. The books are amusing and easy reads for kids 7 and up.
