This is such a cute freaking book. 
Having it read to me by David Tennent is a plus plus

I’m obviously not the target audience for this book. Looking forward to reading to Lil Peanut

This book had lots of gross boy humor but the plot was fun and the audiobook narrator was excellent. 

Plot: Hiccup the Viking must catch and train a dragon as a coming of age right of passage. 

The characters were fun and quirky but I could have done without the animal death and cruelty to the dragons. 

Overall Rating: 4.25/5

TW: animal death, violence

Great book, but be warned of two things: The plot is pretty much entirely different from the movie, and in the Kindle edition, each page is one big graphic...not awesome to read. Get a hard copy.

“Books are like dragons... if we do not believe in them, and read them, they will cease to exit.” Don’t touch me! I’m emotional! One of my favorite books series <3
