Dragontastic!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Love this series of audiobooks, David Tennant's delivery is spot on. We listen to them in the car and often end up sitting and listening even when we have reached our destination!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Toothless is a great character, and far more interesting in the books than he is in the films.

What about David Tennant’s performance did you like?

David Tennant's characterisations are brilliant, we love the dragon voices.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The Dragons fly again!

Any additional comments?

Great fun, my daughter (age 10) loves them.

So much fun :-)

David Tennant does a stellar job bringing the story to life. Even if you are not a kid anymore, Cressida Cowell's tales of Hiccup are so much fun to listen to that it is seriously addictive. Shame though that this is an abridged version.
