Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for How to Train Your Dragon:
"Short chapters, clever slapstick, kid-pleasing character names and goofy, childlike drawings will keep even reluctant readers turning these pages--and chuckling as they go."—Publishers Weekly

"A narrative rich in dragon muck... genuinely fierce [and] intelligent."—Kirkus

"...This is a goofy and exciting tale of an underdog who proves that brains can be just as important as brawn. Kids will hoot at the ridiculous names and sympathize with Hiccup's exasperation with his truly obstinate but strangely lovable dragon. A delightful read."—School Library Journal

"This hilarious farce will appeal to heroic fiction fans."—Booklist

Loved the movie, had to listen to the book.

Where does How to Train Your Dragon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It was well read by David Tennant and a funny Viking adventure story. But, after all it is a children's book and I am an adult so it would not rank in my top 50 books.

What other book might you compare How to Train Your Dragon to and why?

Cannot really compare as I do not read many books like this.

Which character – as performed by David Tennant – was your favorite?

The main character, Hiccup the Useful was cute and had a good heart.

Any additional comments?

A great book for children that like adventure stories featuring dragons. Has a bit of humour and action with a good ending. The book is not like the movie.

Wonderful performance by David Tennant!

Although it was very different from the movie that the book inspired, this was a really good story. The performance was excellent, and I look forward to listening to it again with my daughter.

Fantastic book

My 5 year old and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I do agree with other reviewers that the audio goes up and down often, which is slightly annoying but the book is definitely worth getting through it!

The real How to Train your dragon

HOW DID WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS?! Look if you’ve come here from the movie you’re going to start being disappointed and then get very excited. It’s NOT the movie but that’s not a bad thing. Just as exciting and thrilling as I remember it from my childhood. Honestly why we didn’t get THIS as the movie is beyond me. Amazing read and great for a hungry imagination.

A fantasy told in witty prose read with linguistic genious

Author Cowel’s raucous humor and reader Tennant’s brilliant linguistic ability bring us this imaginative story of an unlikely heroic boy and his toothless dragon whose devious resourcefulness save the village from certain arma-dragon-gedon. Don’t miss this deeply entertaining and fantastical tale for all ages.
