Book Reviews of Dragon Rider
Book Review: 6th grader loved Dragon Rider!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dragon Rider is a fascinating, well-writen book. Friedrake a silver dragon and his other dragon friends are threatened by humans to leave their protective valley. Friedrake volunteers to go look for the "Rim of Heaven" a place said where Dragons can fly safely, in peace. Friedrake takes Sorrel a brownie and Ben an orpaned boy with him on this dangerous quest. Nettlebrand a Golden dragon was made to hunt silver dragons so he decides to send his "armor cleaner" to follow the dragon and is companions to the "Rim of Heaven" so he can go hunting once again. They come across many wonderful mythical creatures, some good and some bad.
This story had me hooked. I read 250 pages in 2 days! I usually don't like fantasy books but I loved Cornelia Funke's other books, The Thief Lord and Inkheart so i decided to try this one. This is my favorite book I have ever read and I have read hundreds of books. I could clearly see Cornelia Funke's voice through the book.
I loved this book!
Book Review: Review of Dragon Rider
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like action, adventure, endless fun and fantasy then Cornelia Funke's "Dragon Rider" is definitely for you. It's about a dragon named Firedrake who's dragon valley is going to be flooded by humans. So one of the the oldest dragons tells them of a place where dragons can live forever in peace called the Rim of Heaven. So Sorrel, a brownie (basically a big cat) says she'll agree to go on the mission with Firedrake. So off they go in search for the Rim of Heaven. But on the way they meet a human named Ben who has no parents and agrees that he will go on the mission. They also meet a man in Egypt named Professor Barnabas Greenbloom who knows all about mythical creatures. But they also meet a horrible villian named Nettlebrand, the Golden One, who wants to to go to the Rim of Heaven to kill the dragons that have been there for years hiding from him. I will not tell if they find the Rim of Heaven or not or if they defeat Nettlebrand. You'll just have to read and see!Book Review: Great book for kids... good book for adults
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a wonderful story about a colony of dragons that are about to be overrun by human construction. A dragon by the name of Firedrake and his brownie buddy Sorrel start out on a journey to find the Rim of Heaven, a place it is believed that the dragons escaped to 300 years earlier. On the way they met a homeless boy named Ben who is to become the Dragon Rider.
This book is very entertaining, has some very imaginative characters and situations and is a wonderful book for kids between the ages of 7-15 ish, which is the intended audience. If you're a little older than that the book will feel a little young but it is still very enjoyable.
The only negative I would say with this book is that some of the characters, Sorrell especially, are very onery and negative (which is their character) and kids who read this could possible pick up some mean langauge etc. from reading it but nothing real bad.
Overall a great book!
