Review:
Marked it down one star due it being so different from the movie .... I know shocker .... but I watched the movie first and love it so much, it's one of my faverite movies so I hated that this book was so different. That aside however it made for a good read, it was witty and funny and Hiccup was similar to his film alter-ego however Toothless was so different and unlikable until the end when he managed to save hiccup's life. I liked the whole viking test story to the book and it was more believable of a brutal viking tribe than the movie with Hiccup's dad being a lot more harsh. I liked the way it was written like a diary but once again it was Toothless who dissapointed me as he was small, moody, wimpy and common not like the cool, funny, rare and lovable nightfury version of him.
