Horeee done this!
saat pulang kuliah, ketika hujan menerjang, badai menghantam, badan kuyup sampai ketulang, buku ini satu2nya yang aku pikirkan dan aku lindungi agar tidak basah (selain hape nomor dua).
Banyak, banyak banget pesan yang ada di buku ini. Gimana engga, tokoh utama yang super humble ini, emang udah seharusnya menang disetiap buku (ya, karena dia HEROnya), dan menang dengan kesederhanaanya. Hiccup bukan Snotlout, bukan juga dogsbreath, tapi dia bisa mengatasi quest More...

Petualangan Hiccup kali ini dijalaninya bersama (tentunya) Toothless, Camicazi teman perempuannya dari suku Viking cewek Bog-Burglar (mungkin semacam suku cewek Amazon), Si Mata Satu sang Pemimpin Naga Pengemudi Bertaring Pedang.
Tujuan: mencari obat untuk penyakit sahabatnya Fishlegs, yaitu Kobraitis akibat sengatan Naga Kobra Berbisa. Menurut kakek Hiccup yang peramal, obatnya adalah sebuah sayuran khayalan dengan nama: Sayuran-yang-tak-seorang-pun-berani-menyebutkan-namanya a.k.a kentang More...

How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse by Cressida Cowell is the fourth hilarious installment in Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third's funny, adventurous life.
He and Camicazi of the Bog-Burglar Tribe set off on a quest to find THE POTATO (a magical, unheard of vegetable) to save the life of Fishlegs.
This one was just as great as the rest, and I'm SO glad the author brought back Camicazi, she's really funny. I loved the drawings, my favorite one being Gobber the Belch sneezing VERY HAR More...

Okay, I'm not actually pleased with author's decision to use girly and sissy as pejoratives throughout and depict the matriarchal tribe as masculine enough to be worthy (even Big-Boobied Bertha - now there's a name for a chief - has stubble). This is what comes of reading children's books as an adult, perhaps. Though she may have tried to show the Viking culture as BACKWARDLY barbaric, negatively valuing "male" talents over "female" ones in order to highlight the ludicrousnes

I'll make this review very short. Again, a wonderful book. I won't be posting any more reviews of this series by Cressida Cowell, but I will continue to read and likely rate the books as 5-star. Hiccup shows his loyalty and love for his best friend by going on a quest to get an antidote for a dragon's poison. There is a scene where he falls into the great hall of the tribe he is hoping to avoid and it is hilarious. Although the ending is a bit tied-up-with-a-bow, I loved it. For adults who r

What I like from ‘How to Train Your Dragon Series’ is that it’s not only story about dragon, action, war, fighting like the impression we might get from the title. But it's also the story about adventure, friendship, wisdom, and morale life.
If I may bring past memory, I remember story in second book about Hiccup can't use sword and then he realize that he is left handed and he does great sword fight with it. This part teaches us to find out our potential which we surely have it.

These books are quite delightful. Terribly loud, rude vikings storm around, yelling and fighting and insulting everyone, whilst poor Hiccup proves himself by embodying the exact opposite of everything he's been taught. He's an admirable character, and all the others seem ludicrous by comparison.
Our loyal and determined Hero sets out on an improbable quest to find an antidote, dealing with ridiculously large dragons, particularly nutty barbarians, and potentially fictional vegetables More...

What I like best about these books are the myriad dragon species that the author details. It's always fun to read about a new dragon species, and especially their little bios which was amusing in their own way. This one was a great read too--Hiccup goes off haring on an adventure with Camicazi in an attempt to steal the-vegetable-that-cannot-be-named (AKA, potato) from a fearsome viking tribe, all in an attempt to cure his friend Fishlegs. It was as funny as always and the end had a nice twist t

By far the weakest of the series. Still a good read, but just doesn't hit the bar the other books have so far. The plot holes are so huge you could sail a viking ship through them.
I did find it amusing that it plays on the whole "Vikings discovered America" concept. (I'm not counting that as a plot hole.)
Hopefully it picks back up again with the next book.

This time, Hiccup must find the imaginary vegetable that shall not be named to save Fishleg’s life, as it is the only antidote to the dreaded Vorpentitis. He has until 10:00 the next morning to find this cure – can he make it back in time?! I love the inclusion of Camicazi on his adventure – I hope we get to see more & more of her! :D

As with the other books in the series, I read this aloud and have skipped lots of potty talk.
On the whole, this series is a bit shallow, but there is at least one great message in each book to discuss. The epilogues are always great.
Hiccup illustrates public virtue: courage and sacrife. In a great analogy with an ax, we are taught that we are the masters of our own fate. Jump in and grab the bull by the horns and make your life happen.

Oh how I loved this chapter in the life the Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III!
In this adventure Hiccup and Camicazi go to Hysteria in search of the 'vegetable that must be named' (a potato) to cure his best friend Fishlegs from the fatal sting of the Vorpent. We are introduced to Norbert the Nutjob, the Doomfang and One-eye the Sabre-toothed Driver dragon. It was exciting, touching, funny and moral all rolled into one seriously enjoyable read. I absolutely, thoroughly recommend it.

LOVE this series. We went to see the movie and learned it was based on the books, so we had to get them. Fun for all ages. This is the first chapter book the six year old really ran off with and got into; I thought she wasn't going to stop reading long enough to eat. Highly recommend!

It is obviously a book for kids, but sometimes I wonder if I would have enjoyed it as a kid. There are certain nuances in the humor that I feel I wouldn't have particularly understood. Either way, I really like reading these books. Stoick the Vast has got to be one of my favorite characters. I love how he panics whenever Hiccup is in danger. <3 I also love Camicazee, she is one cool girl. Unfortunately, Hiccup is usually such a pushover that I don't really think much of him.
