Another Rip-Roaring Dragon Story

Author Cressida Cowell and narrator David Tennant are a brilliant combination. In this slightly shorter story (two and a quarter hours) he does his usual terrific job of bringing each distinct character to life while delivering the laughs, suspense and action that are the hallmarks of these books.

Fixed! The end of the book is now included

Have you listened to any of David Tennant’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Everything David Tennant does is marvelous (I've listened to everything available on Audible). This recording is no exception. I have a hard time waiting for hm to record each book in the Cowell series as it gets published.

Any additional comments?

This audiobook has been missing the last 20 minutes for a long time. It is now complete, so any reviews that state it is incomplete are outdated. I love this series by Cressida Cowell. The books are hilarious, exciting and touching. It is also worth noting that the music in the entire series is really good, which is not something I expect from audiobooks. I recommend buying all of them! They just get better and better. Cowell's website gives the order of the books, starting with "How to Train Your Dragon."

This is an outstanding kids series

My 9 year old daughter will not stop listening to these audiobooks. This one has been listened to four times and she STILL wants to hear it. David Tennant does a remarkable job narrating a superb fantasy story of Cowells. I would recommend this audiobook and in fact any of the How to Train your Dragon Books to everyone.

Where is the ending?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend the book, but not the audible version. The book is missing the ending.

Delighfully dragony!

Would you listen to A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons again? Why?

I love the sound of David Tennant's voice. He brings everything to life with humour and respect.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Toothless has a lot of personality, but I'd have to go with Kamikaze.

Which scene was your favorite?

The fight with the Hairy Scary Librarian was well-written and nicely executed.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I'd love to have read it all in one sitting, but we use these as entertainment on longer drives, and this took two longer drives to get it done.

Any additional comments?

More Tennant. All fantastic.

engaging story

Any additional comments?

David Tennant does an excellent job of reading this story. I like that he uses different voices for the different characters. the pacing is excellent.

Silly, good time!

I cannot say enough good things about this series! I envy Cressida Cowell because she is having a great time doing what she loves. These books are over the top silly and highly entertaining. David Tennant is the perfect narrator for these books.

Not Unabridged

What made the experience of listening to A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons the most enjoyable?

Although David Tennant was marvelous once again, and Cressida Cowell's story was as engaging as ever, it was dissappointing that this was *not* an unabridged version. The end seemed very sudden, which was explained when we discovered that the book goes on further. I don't know what else might have been missed.

Fun to listen to

Any additional comments?

This book is equal to the other books in the Dragon series. They are all awesome and really fun to listen to, The narration is wonderful with great voices so you really can believe the whole cast is there. This was the 4th book in the series I listened to and have the other 4 on my ipod now waiting for the chance to escape into my head.

I Highly recommend this series to anyone young at heart.
