Dealing with Dragons: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Book One

Rating:
Summary: An Exciting Adventure
Review: Who is big, has green scales, and loves cherry jubilie? Why, Kuzal does. I just read and loved the book Dealing with Dragons. Patricia Wrede is one of my favorite authors and has written a number of books. In a world of magicians, dragons, and witches some of the funniest characters take place. In a small village next to the mountians of morning and the Enchanted Forest, a princess was born. Now, you might think that she was a regular princess, with curly golden hair and a clear complection, but princess Cimminerene had stright black hair and freckles! As she grew older she wanted desperately to leave her old boring life and become a dragon's princess. A rare honor to her, but a disgrace to any other princess (you see dragons got their princess by kidnapping them). So one day she gathered up her long dress skirts and hiked up the mountians of morning to where the dragons lived. There she met Kuzal, a polite and well - mannered female dragon talking with her friends. After the discussion of being her Princess Cimminerene finally pusraded Kuzal to agree to let her be Kuzal's Princess. From then on Kuzal and Cimminerene had many wonderful and daring adventures together. They melted dozens of wizards, cast spells, and even talked with a few cats. I hope that after you read my review you will want to read the book. I thought It was a great book and I hope you will like it. Happy - Reading

Summary: this book is an eye-catcher!
Review: This book was one of the best books I have ever read! Once I started, I could not put it down. The whole series is wonderful! If you like fantasy, (especially dragons) you will love this book. The charactors are so "alive", that it almost feels you are there. The charactors are also very funny and have obvious personalitys. None of the books in the whole series loose there superb quality and I would bet that if you read this one, you will have to read the rest.

Summary: Great Book To Read Aloud
Review: My wife and I both read the book twice! We just finished reading it to my 7 year old daughter and 3 year old son. They both loved it and were able to follow the plot. It was writen for children, but was also entertaining for adults. We recommend this as a good introduction to fantasy reading.

Summary: Funny and Creative, I've read this book 4 times!
Review: Like all of Patricia C. Wrede's books, it is complete and utter fun. It is hard not to love this book, bubbling over with humor and excitement. Dragon's are truly loveable creatures!

Summary: Excellent Literature Appeals to All Fantasy Fiction Fanatics
Review: As two friends who share the common bond of this and the other three novels in Patricia C. Wrede's series (for lack of a better term)... we are mutually astouded by the creativity and intrinsic depth of these novels, which present amazing storylines accompanied by extremely amicable characters and topped by wonderful humor. Cimorene being our favorite character, we have a likewise mutual admiration for the stone prince, Kazul, and Morwen. It's just a funny, funny book, and the other three are increasingly good.

Summary: One of my favorite books
Review: I read this when I was in 2nd grade, and I remember playing with one of my best friends in her back yard and pretending we were Alianora and Cimorene. The characters are irresistable and the novel very well written. Probably good for an average 4th or 5th grader.

Summary: Great book
Review: This book is incredibly astounding,all its magic combined with humour hypnotises you into reading for hours. From my personal experience(reading until 11:30).If you like it there are more books like: Searching for Dragons."In which Kazul is captured and Cimorene goes for a ride." But if you DIDN'T like it (heaven forbid) and still like reading about magic, check out J.R.R Tolkien, but for you bland magic readers who like icky, romancy, magic stories read some of Dian Curtis Regans books.YUK!

Summary: Dragons as good guys? A first!
Review: This is one of the most interesting and fun sci-fi/fantasy books I haver ever read. I enjoy the almost humanlike dragon characters, and I can really identify with nonconformist princess Cimorene. If you have the patience, try reading all four books in order, one after another!

Summary: Refreshing and hillarious...
Review: "Dealing With Dragons" is one of the best books I have read in the past year. I think it is hillarious; the author uses mixed up faiy tales as a source for laughter. The charectors are well-described, and this book sometimes has scary parts-but the parts that are scary are described in such a way that we like the action, and aren't scared as well. All in all, it's a great book-I'd give it 6 stars if I could!
