How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I read this because my kids love the movie, and I thought it would be good for them to start comparing books to movies. The book wasn't all that great. Nothing objectionable, but relied heavily on the sensational - either the gross, or the dragon-cool, or the viking-tough.

Hiccup's smarts help fight the dragon as much as Viking brawn. This theme carries through to the movie, and some of the characters, but everything else changes.
