My Review: I love love LOVE How to Train Your Dragon... The movie. I picked up this book expecting an even BETTER story, because that is usually the case. HOWEVER. I was extremely disappointed. This book was cute. It has SOME merit. The story is creative, it is a novel idea, and I appreciate the authors ability to create a story like this. However, everyone trains dragons, they don't fight them like the movie. The dragons talk, in dragonese of course, and Hiccup speaks dragonese... So he is obviously still kind of a loser in the book. Anyway. The book was only okay for me, whereas I could watch the movie again and again. So I think I will stick with the movie. :)
