David Tennant's reading was spectacular, but the book itself was just alright.

"I have never cared for castles or a crown that grips too tight,
Let the night sky be my starry roof and the moon my only light,
My heart was born a Hero,
My storm-bound sword won't rest,
I left this harbour long ago on a never-ending quest.
I am off to the horizon,
Where the wild wind blows the foam,
Come get lost with me, love,
And the sea shall be our home.”

How to Break a Dragon's Heart is the eighth and my new favourite of the How to Train Your Dragon Series.

This one was so much fun reading!

In this adventure the Hairy-Hooligan tribe is out looking for Camicazi who got lost in the big storm and as they are about to go to sleep on the Uglithug island, they are surrounded by the Uglithug tribe, and Hiccup finds himself trapped into a dangerous bargain...

This bargain turns out pretty nasty indeed! But you have to read to find out what will happen :)

To me this story is way more interesting and some questions will be answered, and the truth revealed.

The film and book version are both very different BUT they are both equally fun to read and to watch..

But for my liking the book How to Train Your Dragon is better. In here at least there was no 'romance' and the Dragons were more fun.

I just wonder why the movie writers wrote it so different from the books? I mean yeah it was good but why not stay true to the original story? We don't need romance in every story or book ever written!!

At least for my favourite part, there are DRAGONS in it, and they are 'careless', playful and mischievous beings!
