Boring, generic characters, repetitive plot...not worth the read. I had no desire to read the next book or see the movie. I gave it two stars because I have to give the kid credit for starting and finishing a whole book before he turned 21.
This was a fantastic book. I love any book with dragons but this one was exceptional. I think that the movie was not a very good representation of the book. I would say that anyone who had the patience to read this book would love it.
