Ratings and reviews

This is the second book in the How to Train your dragon series and I just can not get over how completely different it is from the DreamWorks version. This is a funny story for Children, boys especially will love the fart jokes. But it lacks the epicness of the movies. A note on formatting. While I encourage you to read this book, I recommend getting it in paperback. The ebook formatting has small print and the two page picture spreads are ruined when broken up.

Nice story and i learned new vocab but the graphic is not well drawn.

Awesome because I loved the letter he got sent at the end of the story , and because it is awesome
