kocak! itulah yg membuat saya tak sabar membaca seri catatan hiccup selanjutnya. yang dibantu-terbitkan oleh cressida cowell ini. pada halaman pertamanya, hiccup memberi nasihat: kau (pembaca) tak perlu membaca semua seri catatan harianku secara berurutan. well, saya langsung menghapus rasa berdosa ketika terpaksa membaca seri ke-3 setelah baru saja selesai menutup halaman terakhir "how to train your dragon", buku pertamanya. buku keduanya, "how to be a pirate", tak berhasil

Being a Chief was a lonely business.

Pertengkaran antar suku Viking sepertinya lumrah terjadi, kebanyakan dengan alasan yang tidak masuk akal seperti Bog-Burglars yang bersengketa dengan Hysteric gara-gara Bertha tidak sengaja menduduki naga sang Kepala Suku Hysterics <hahaha ampun dah>.

Ingin bisa ngobrol dengan naga, gak? Kalau berminat coba deh baca How To Speak Dragonese. Si Hiccup bakalan ngajarin kalian bahasa naga yang eksotis *dueh!*
Kuttukka gagga dim pattpatt. Itulah salah satu kalimat bahasa naga yang bisa kau tahu artinya setelah membaca buku petualangan Hiccup bersama naga ompong nan sok yang bernama Toothless. Serial fantasi ini adalah buku ketiga setelah How To Train Dragon dan How To Be a Pirate.

The next book of Hiccup's adventures (a bday present from Jon). As always a really fun read! Poor old Hiccup. In this one he is kidnapped by the Romans and has to try and escape (along with Fishlegs and new character Camicaze, from a rival tribe). A bit of mild peril but again lots of laugh out loud bits, and I still love the drawings! Adorable <3 Can't wait to read the next one!

Meh, it was nice. I mean, it felt like a repeat of the first one, except in slightly different situations. And the first book seems have a certain special something more than the other books in the series, like it's the only one with a plot that matters. I could get into this book, but not with the same enthusiasm as the first one.
On the upside, the characters are rich; Fishlegs and Toothless are hilarious and Camicazi is admirable, and Hiccup more so. I just wish Cressida hadn't said, in More...

Hiccup bertualang lagi!
Ngg... kali ini lebih tepatnya diculik sih...
Bersama Toothless si naga, Fishlegs, dan Camicazi, mereka dibawa ke bentengnya pasukan Romawi akibat suatu rencana jahat dari musuh bebuyutan di masa lalu.
Yang spesial di buku ini adalah adanya kopi-an buku "Bagaimana Caranya Bicara Bahasa Naga" milik Hiccup.
Seperti biasa, isinya konyol dan jorok (tentang pup dan sebangsanya, kekeke...).

I read this with my 8-year-old son and right away ordered all the other Hiccup books from the library. The characters are likeable, the situations are funny, the stories are exciting, and the illustrations are fun. Maybe this one is my fave of the series because we read it first, or maybe it's genuinely the best. Either way, the Hiccup books are great fun for adventure-loving kids. They're geared to 8-10-year-olds, who can read them alone, but they're fun to read aloud, too. The language is very

The more that I read these books the more I like them. Other than the bumpy first book, the subsequent books afterward were really fun to read. It's a hugely charming series, and you can't help but laugh at how ridiculous everything is, and how Hiccup tries so hard to be the voice of reason, but fails for the most part. In this book Hiccup, Fishlegs, and a new character, Camicazi, have been kidnapped by the Romans. Camicazi is a great new character. She's hilarious and upbeat, and she's actually

Book 3 in the series. We read it out of order, which turned out to be ok. Again, read aloud to my 5 and 7 year old sons with my 12 year old who'd read it several years earlier listening in. Action, humor, and great descriptions that appeal to boys. However, while I can appreciate the humor of a female Viking Chief named Big Boobied Bertha, and while I can laugh at the fact that "her bosoms have killed before and will kill again," and while I agree that the simple sketch of Big Boob

These books are extremely entertaining. There’s appeal here for both kids and adults alike. Children will be fascinated by Hiccup’s exploits: his Viking training sessions, his interactions with dragons of all shapes and sizes, his marvelous ability to outsmart smarmy characters. Adults will enjoy these aspects, too, but may be even more impressed with the emphasis on brains vs. brawn, Hiccup’s determination to be his own person, and the main characters’ willingness to work as a team when it matt

This very short book was surprisingly a GREAT read! I finished it (as with books 1 and 2) in two short days. Great monsters, characters, giggle-worthy drawings and a nice plot make up book three, How to Speak Dragonese, of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third's memorable misadvenuters.

Kali ini tugas mereka adalah mendarat di perahu nelayan dari Negeri Damai. Sebuah sasaran yang mudah sebetulnya. Tapi, dasar nasib sial, mereka berdua malah nyasar ke perahu Romawi. Fishlegs dan Hiccup hampir saja jadi tawanan kalau saja Toothless yang sempat ngambek tidak menyelamatkan mereka.
Mereka berdua selamat, tapi Toothless terperangkap jarring Romawi, dan bukan itu saja, buku berharga Hiccup, yaitu buku catatan ‘Bagaimana Carnaya Bicara Bahasa Naga’ robek, dan terbelah dua. More...

No less bombastic, absurd, or off-puttingly funny as the previous installments, but these characters and their message are starting to grow on me. The elder Hiccup's epilogue in this one was especially well received. I like the message of mind over might and the iconoclast brainy/pacifist hero set against the parody of the violent barbaric saga. Excellent for boys and reluctant readers.

Third book in the series.
A fun book to read aloud, and it gives me power to skip over the really obnoxious "potty talk." Big Boobied Bertha, became just Big Bertha. And how she used her bosoms as weapons was just skipped.
I love how Hiccup breaks the mold and uses his brain instead of brawn. He educats himself, speaks a little Latin and excellent French, and is great at sword fighting.

This time Hiccup uses more of his brain rather than the second book. I really think this time that Hiccup is really my genius type. The character who capable to think great solution in minutes of danger situation. I love the story, and also the morale of story: Don't even think that you can't do anything just because you are small, weak, or minority. Try to see and emphasize your strength instead.

I just love this series of books. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it deals with Vikings! Young Hiccup is an unlikely hero, but a hero nonetheless. I can hardly wait to read the next one. Someone's been poisioned and it's up to Hiccup and Toothless to save the day.
