Title: I hate to be a killjoy, but...
Product review: I read the first two books of the series and I have no desire to read any further. The writing is good but that's about it. The stories are only okay, the characters are totally forgettable and the dragons are just cowardly little flying rodents. This is one of those instances where the movie is way better. In the movie the characters and dragons have a nobility that comes through in the end, but it's almost completely absent in the book. I also thought the meanness of some of the characters in the book might send the wrong message to its target audience. If you're a parent looking for a quality read for your kids, I'd look somewhere else.
