    <body><![CDATA[I read this years ago, when I was 13. And I only thought it was an okay book at the time. Very typical &quot;hatching and raising a dragon&quot; story, of which there seemed to be a lot back when I was 13 (at least, I know I read several others that same year). I was also disappointed with how neatl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75021417">more...</a>]]></body>
