Review: This story starts with Hiccup catching his own dragon. I enjoyed the book, Hiccup was my favorite character, the rest weren't really in it long or detailed enough for me to connect with/enjoy them. I had seen the movie before reading the book and I have to say that the movie was actually better then the book, there were not only more characters, as well as character development, the way that Hiccup caught his dragon was better in my opinion, as well as the relationship between not only Hiccup and Toothless but Hiccup and a few other characters, including his father, were much better/more developed than in the book. Although the I enjoyed the movie more, and was slightly disappointed upon finishing the book I do want to read the other books in the series.
After reading the book I decided to read the rest of the series before watching both the movies as well as the TV show, and after doing that I will write my thoughts on the Book to movie/TV show comparisons. Also while I did get a book with two extra stories in it:
I want to read the series in order so since the two stories in it are the newest in the series I will be reading those ones last after reading the 11 other book/short stories.
Hope everybody had/has a great day : )
