I read How to Train Your Viking, by Toothless the Dragon immediately after reading How to Train Your Dragon in hopes to scratch the itch that the first book gave. Surprisingly, I was a bit disappointed by this installment in the series.
The story told is a bit boring, though with some favorites from the first book. The star feature for me was the descriptions of the new types of dragons introduced.
This was a very short read and is still worth your time if your a fan of the series.

This book, as all the others in this series, just makes me smile so damn much. It's very silly and reads as young as you'd expect, but it's lovely. This one is very short, you can finish it in half an hour or so, but it's worth it if just for the tests at the end - I can't stop laughing about it.

So cute! It was great to see things from Toothless's point of view and gain insight into an older Toothless. Significantly more mature but still arrogant and a little narcissistic. I love it!

If you have not yet been introduced to the book series that How to Train Your Dragon, stop what you are doing now and begin the series today. Amazon suggests the reading age is eight to eleven-years-old, but they are liars and fools. These imaginative and fantastic novels tell a story about becoming a hero despite being ordinary in every way. Don't we all want to be a little more heroic in our everyday lives?
This novella written from the point-of-view of Toothless is just as magical as the rest of the series. I urge every adult to read this series - if only to remember how to be swept away into a land of imagination for a little while. This short story is great to fill your lunch hour with a bit of magic so that you can return to work happy and smiling.
This series and this novella make for an enchanted time spent with your family or just with Cowell's words.

I found it funny but too childish. I also found that my son is soon old enough to read this book (he is 6yrs old and reads very well for his age) and I won't let him if he finds this - due to the amount of mild swearing in it.

3,5 estrelas!
Queria algum livro bem rapidinho de ler, por isso peguei Como Treinar o seu Viking, mas acho que eu não estava muito no clima para ler essa série. :/
Achei o livro bem fofo, e é legal ter um ponto de vista do Banguela, mas ao mesmo tempo o livro é super pequenininho, e não trás basicamente nada de novo pra série.
Enfim, gosto muito dessa série, então acho que dessa vez o problema foi mais comigo do que com o livro. Vale a pena ler ele, até por ser tão curtiho que a leitura é super rápida.
