How to Train Your Dragon

First things first, if you came to this book after the movies, you need to know these two are different stories, so don't expect a novelized version of the movie. Yes, they share some characters, such as Hiccup, Stoic The Vast, Fishlegs, and of course Thoothless. But that's where the similarities end. Think of this as Resident Evil the game, and Resident Evil the movies. They share part of the lore, but they are primarily different stories.

That being said, the story of How to Train Your Dragon is a great story about how to become a Hero the hard way. You need to remember this is a children's book, so yeah, many parts of the plot will be solved with the power of friendship. That doesn't make the story less relevant; in the end, everything Hiccup shows throughout the chapters is that sometimes you need to embrace all those quirks that make you different.

Whether you are reading it as an adult, or reading it for a child, this book has something to offer if your willing to play the game of imagination.
