Summary: Fantasy Lovers:this is so for you
Review: Out of all the fantasy books i ever read,(and i have read lots, trust me), i still think this book is one of the absolute bests. Dragons, wizards, enchanted forest, lots of magic, and a princess that doesn't want to be a princess- what could be a better setting for this humorous page turner? READ THIS!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I have read tons of fantasy and this is an amazing book:)
Review: Princess Cimorene is bored of her life. Her parents deprive her of all the things she wants to do and forces her to do all the things a "proper" princess should. So, from the advice of a frog, sheruns away to be the princess of a clever dragon, Kazul. This book is so funny I laughed out loud. I have read it over and over. I would recomend it to anyone. It is a great book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It took me 9 years to find, but a lifetime to enjoy
Review: This is a book about a princess that is anything but average. She sets out against her family, and finds adventure and suspense in a kingdom of fairy tales. She meets a dragon, a witch, and even tangles with some wizards. There is no telling where the book is going, and I am still loving it after 5 long years of pouring over it, and the entire series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: for anyone who dispares of the usual
Review: Cimorene is a very improper princess surrounded by a very proper family, and a very proper court. It seems everyone wants to conform her to the proper way of doing things. When an arranged marriage rears it ugly head, Cimorene will do any thing to avoid it, including offering to be a dragon's princess. An improper princess is the perfect herione for a fairy tale that definetly doesn't follow the guidelines!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A magical adventure that anybody can enjoy.
Review: Dealing with Dragons is an exciting, adventure filled tale about an unhappy princess and a dragon in need of someone that can conjugate latin verbs. Cimorene, not your normal, everyday princess, is a character that almost anybody can relate to, and the fact that she uses her brains instead of her beauty is another plus. It is a wonderful story that teaches the value of believing in yourself, even when others don't think you can do it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best of all fantasies!!!
Review: When I first started reading this book, it grabbed me. I couldn't put it down. Something is always happening and Cimerone's unusual attitude and choices make it a very unusual plot. I liked the rest of the series too, but Dealing With Dragons is the best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book still has me after 9 years!
Review: I first discovered 'Dealing with Dragons' in fifth grade. Wrede created a world for me that sucked me in with the first page. I spent most of my time wishing to be the strong-minded Cimorene with a dragon like Kazul. Now, as a senior in high school, I still read my tattered up copy as a reminder of my childhood journey through Wrede's imaginary kingdom. I not only recommend this novel for the young-adults out there, but also for the adults too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A hilarious book!!
Review: I thought Wrede did an excellant job on this book, it was never boring, and is was SSOOOO funny! This is the funniest book I ever read, not much fantasy books are funny, but Wrede pulls it off well. This is an excellant book, and I recemend it to all fantasy readers with a sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved this book. I was in it, i could see evrything around
Review: This book sucked me in like a vaccum. It stuck out in the library and i am glad i read it. i have read it twice. It is challenging for some people but now, this time, fantasy is one of my most favorite kinds of books. I wish the whole world could read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is fantastic!
Review: This is a well-written, fantastic book. I am not a stranger to this series; I have read every book. It was only after completing the series that I looked back and realized that this one is the best. This book, and this series for that matter, is good for someone who likes fantasy, as well as a kind of wry humor about old fairy tales and the way things always used to work in them. Meet Cimorene, a princess from a "proper" kingdom who just isn't proper. She isn't interested in learning dancing or embroidery, or the proper moments to scream when being carried off by giants. She prefers learning about magic, taking fencing lessons, and many other un-princess-like activities that her fairy godmother and parents agree just "isn't done." When her parents, behind her back, arrange for he to marry a perfectly proper, and very dumb, prince, Cimorene is furious. Taking the advice of the enchanted toad she encountered, she runs off to VOLUNTARILY become the princess of a dragon, something that certainly is never done. Read about Cimorene's adventures with the dragons, encounters with annoying wizards, and desperate efforts to discourage the manly knights and princes to just LEAVE HER ALONE. Plenty of excellent reading. Great book!
