Ok so movie and book are really really different. It's hard to compare them but I love Hiccup and his sarcasm in this book (Toothless is way cuter in the movie though). And yes I'm going to read the whole series, obviously.
This is hard, I really want to write the review that this book deservers but I'm gonna try. Let's start like this: I could have read this book a lot faster but I guess I didn't want it to be over jet. And that says a lot about the series because the last time this happened to me was Harry Potter. Of course you can't compare these two series content-wise but my caring and love for the characters were on similar levels. But now for the book itself. First of all the hardcover looks amazing definitely worthy of a last part. And I have to say this right now: THANK THOR FOR THIS CLEVER ENDING!!! and THANK THOR FOR NOT MAKING UP A LOVE INTEREST FOR HICCUP!!! How to Fight a Dragon’s Fury was perfect as it is, an emotional roller-coaster, a struggle, a fight but in the end brilliantly solved for a not-so-happy-end. It was what the characters deserved, and still managed to end on a thoughtful note. Just this week I read about a third HTTYD movie covering the extinction of the dragons. Which proves that even the book-series has ended we will keep hearing from Hiccup, Toothless and all the others because HEROES ARE FOREVER
This book is nothing like the movie, which is what I was expecting going into this. Also I'm clearly not the target audience with all the gross jokes and descriptions. I only fairly enjoyed myself consuming this story because of the absolutely amazing audiobook, which is narrated by David Tennant!!
Ganz niedliches Kinderbuch - ich mochte es gern: 3 Sterne Aber was das Buch wirklich unterhaltsam und amüsant gemacht hat war die Lesung - David Tennant ist ohne Frage der schottische Rufus Beck, der jeder einzelnen Figur durch seine Stimme ein eigenes Leben verleit! Grandios zu hören! Dafür ein Extra Stern. Aber vorsicht - die englischen Akzente haben es in sich. Als Buch sicher gut auf englisch lesbar. Als Hörbuch eher Hörlesern zu empfehlen, die etwas geübter sind!
