Rendition During Books How to Be a Pirate (How to Train Your Dragon #2)
People said this book was funny...I didn't find myself laughing..Maybe it's due to my age but I got the idea that adults also found the humour in this novel amusing..Even if I didn't find LOL moments I still enjoyed the storyline though!My one complaint if you own the Kindle version...The text when Toothless speaks is kinda hard to read and you can't turn up the font size cause the pages are like in a PDF..And as you read you come to a letter from someone and it's basically unreadable on the Kindle. The font used is pretty terrible and I get they were going for a scrawly type writing which I'm sure is fine in print but for the Kindle it becomes a smudgy mess.
But besides this if you've any interest in dragons or the 'How to Train Your Dragon' world then this short but sweet novel is worth picking up. Again you're following the main character Hiccup and his hard to please dragon Toothless. But don't think the novel and the movie are really alike because they aren't.
Hiccup is starting to learn what it really means to be a pirate and how important his role is even if he doesn't completely agree with their ideals. He still struggles with many things and he's always getting an ear bashing from someone (or sometimes physical). This tale sends him deep into the ocean and just maybe he'll discover some treasure or not!

*listened to audio book*This book made me smile so much. I also had the thought again that Toothless is so annoying. And Hiccup has such a sad outlook on life ;p Hiccup knows he's destined to be good with the sword. So that's why he foolishly takes on an older boy. And nearly dies. But he's saved by a box - a coffin. Or is he? Because what's in the coffin is about put him on an ever crazier path toward death. And poor Hiccup knows he has no chance of living or of ever being the future chief.

This is the second book in the How to Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell. We've watched the movie and our girls were excited to learn that the movies were based on these books. When we were getting ready to watch the second movie, I borrowed the first two books in the series to serve as a bit of a refresher. But neither of our girls really got into them - they were disappointed that the books were so different from the movies. This is one reason I like to read the book before I watch
I had a lot of the same feelings after this one as the first. It was good! And the characters were amazing and hilarious! But I felt the plot was maybe a tiny bit lacking. Im not going to go on ranting about this one bc it would probably be a duplicate of my review for the first one lolOverall it was good. And yes, I will continue the series, and Im excited to start the next one!
Lots of humor, sarcasm, fun and surprises too! I don't like this toothless, at all!
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third is not so Heroic - at least not by Viking terms - despite the fact that hes the Hooligan chiefs only heir. What he is is very, very clever, an attribute overlooked in a society revering such skills as Shouting, Senseless Violence, Badd Sppeling, and Advanced Rudery. (Well, with a clan name of Hooligans, what did you expect?)Hiccup is Heroic by my standards though. He reads and observes and studies, and uses that brain of his to make decisions for the good of
Surprised to say I think I like this one better than the first.
