Review: Highly recommend - Great books that I highly recommend. I ended up getting the entire set of 10 rather than single books. My grandson loves these!
Review: Different from the Dreamworks film, but still good. - The book How to Train Your Dragon is different from the Dreamworks movie. The plot, characters, and everything of the book is different. Hiccup, a Viking in training, along with Fishlegs are trying to be accepted as members of the Hooligan tribe by passing the Dragon Initiation Test, however, compared to the rest of the Vikings in training, both Hiccup and Fishlegs are skinny. The first thing they had to do was catch their dragons, Fishlegs attempts to get a Deadly Nadder but ends up waking a bunch of young dragons. Hiccup gives him a Basic Brown that he caught and runs to get another one, which appears to be a Common or Garden Dragon. Snotlout teases Hiccup about his dragon, which has no teeth whatsoever, calls it Toothless. Hiccup attempts to train Toothless, which was hard since he wasn't any good at yelling or shouting like the other Vikings, which was usually the way to train a dragon. However, Hiccup was able to train Toothless after a while, since he was able to speak Dragonese, which is the language of dragons, and learned that Toothless likes jokes. It seemed to go well until Toothless picked a fight with Snotlout's dragon, Fireworm, which then escalates into a bigger fight with all the dragons during Thorsday Thursday. Stoick then exiled every boy who was trying to be in the Hooligan or Meathead tribe. A storm washed up two big dragons, the Green Death and Purple Death. Hiccup attemped to get both dragons to kill each other, however the Green Death killed the Purple Death then swallowed Hiccup. Hiccup killed the Green Death by blocking its fire holes from the inside while Toothless rescued him. All the boys were then accepted to join the two tribes thanks to Hiccup. A very interesting story and I will definitely read the rest of the books. Both the book and the Dreamworks movie are different yes, but they are both enjoyable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Different from the movie but a lot of fun in its own way
*by C***E on December 11, 2025*

Having read seen and enjoyed the recent "How to Train your Dragon" movie, I thought I'd read the book. The movie and book are actually very different, though both are a fairly lighthearted story about Vikings living on an island, where the young people have to undergo an initiation that involves dragons. The book is quite enjoyable, though a lot sillier than the movie (I'm pretty sure our movie hero was not named Hiccup). It's aimed I'd say at middle-school kids. The best characters are the dragons, self-centered, greedy, always ready to take offense, yet likable all the same.
