great book (series), entertaining presentation
1 juli 2021
This review concerns the entire series "Hicke Hiskelig Halvulk III" of which "Hur du tränar din drake" is the first part.
I am so glad I found this book series, especially that I downloaded the pieces as audio-books.
Both my 10 year old child and myself find these books extremely entertaining. The stories are not only adventurous and funny, but also sufficiently complex, with some interesting characters, that it sticks high out from your average children's books with dragons. In addition, the presentation is just amazing! The audio-books are read by Robert Gustaffson, who gives a vocal character to every single person and creature in the story (mostly very funny), making the audio-book a whole different level of experience than just reading the book. I would normally prefer reading the book myself, but not in this case!
As for an audience age group, I think the story can be followed in detail and appreciated from an age of 9 upward.
I should probably also note that it has very little in common with the "How you train your dragon" animated movie series; simply, these are completely different stories with very different characters.
