Rating: Summary: Dealing with Dragons Review Review: I think this is a great book, because it is filled with fantasy that captures the reader's attention. Wrede is a fantastic author who makes the fantasy and dreamlike thought of dragons seem real and very possible in our world. It is a wonderful book for another reason as well. It deals with how teens feel when their parents won't let them do something that they want to do and make them do something they want to do. I hope this review helps you all and I hope you love the book as much as i do, along with the other Enchanted Forest Chronicles!!ENJOY!!
Rating: Summary: Lighthearted Reading Review: I'd heard quite a lot about this book before I actually read it. Everyone told me that this book was funny and great fantasy. For once, "everyone" was right. This book is about Cimorene, a girl who isn't your typical damsel in distress princess. She runs away to live with a dragon named Kazul. She's having a great time at Kazul's until the wizards start to stir up trouble. Cimorene must try to stop the dragons. Throughout this book, Cimorene meets many magical people and creatures such as the witch, Morwen, and another princess, Alianora. What makes this book so funny is that it alludes to many fairy tales in a way that makes fun of them. Almost a the fantasy equivalent "Hitchhiker's Guide".
Rating: Summary: A book that everyone has to read! Review: "Dealing with Dragons" by Patricia C. Wrede is just a book that is unforgettable. All the characters are have very strong character traits. Such as: Ciromene, the princess of the dragon Kazul: She is very influential in her beleifs. Ciromene is a character longing to do something unbeleivable, not equitette or ballroom dancing. Kazul: the organized and wise character in the story. Prince Therendil: Basically, he is just a nuisance. He-like Ciromene-wants to do something memorable, like saving a princess from a fire-breathing dragon. Which is traditional to princes. All wizards: Very sly and revengful. They'll do anything just so that they'll become the most powerful creatures. This is a great book. And like I said up there, you must read it!
Rating: Summary: Excellent~ Review: This book was really incredible. If you like fantasy books about magic and dragons then you will like this book.
Rating: Summary: Breaking the cliches Review: Cimorene is a princess that goes against the grain. But what do you do when your parents wish you to be a pampered lady that prefers etiquette lessons over more interesting endevors like sorcery? You run away to volunteer to be a dragon's princess of course! Young adults will be most pleased with the book, it's fairly simplistic in writing style and it probably could not get much more straightforward. There are a few twists to the tale, and it's definitely the best of the four books. I have fond memories of reading it when I was much younger and recently went back through it and enjoyed it as being very light reading fare as a break from some of the heavier stuff. Good for a gloomy afternoon but not something you will want to reach for too often.
Rating: Summary: Dealing with Dragons Review: In the noel Dealing with Dragons, by Patricia C. Wrede. There were 211 pages but it went by fast. This book takes place during the mid-evil times, when dragons and wizards were around.Cimorence is the main character in this book , she is around 18 years of age andshe is a pricess ,the princes of Linderwall to be exact. She normally dresses like a normal everyday teenageer.She has long black hair and wears them in braids all the time.Cimorenceis a dragons princess,the dragons name is Kzuel.Cimorence wastired of having to be proper. So she ran away to be a dragons princessshe keeps the cave neat and tidy for Kazuel.Cimorence is the main character in this book. She has everyday vocabullary ,but she really speaks mind when she wants to, even if she shouldn't at the time . An example of that would be when she got mad at the young prince Therandil. Quate'' You are being selfish, improper, annoying, and acting like a 2 yr old toddler and if you don't leave me alone you will be SORRY.'' Cimorances normal personality and physical traits are she ishonest, she is brave , she is exciting, intelligant, strong, tall, pretty, humble, hardworking,able and even witty. She has a long strain of traits.Cimornce attitudeand personality trates move the story along by quit a bit.She is always either get to ciurious and getting into trouble or her wittyness getting out of troubleand meeting new people. I think this book is an exelent book ,and would recamend it to anyone who likesdragons wizards and mid-evil times.
Rating: Summary: A fab book! Review: I thought this book was FABULOUS! I really liked the way the author reverses the roles so that dragons are no longer the bad guys but the good guys and the wizards are the bad guys insteead and the knights are...well the knights are more of a nuisance then anything else.Cimorene,the main character has a mind of her own unlike her sisters who are all blond,have blue eyes and are exidingly silly(or as Cimorene says "they just act silly,they aren't really").She hates court life an her lessons where she has to learn how loud it is permitted to scream when being carried off by a giant and how to agree with ambassadors with out actually promising them anything so she takes fencing,cooking,latin and magic classes until her father finds out and stops them.When her parents decide to marry her to a tremendously stupid prince Cimorene decides that this is the last straw and runs away to be a dragons princess but I won't tell you any more you have to read the book. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: A Princess Who's Bored With the Royal Life She Has! Review: Princess Cimorene is a tomboy who doesn't want to do all the regular princess things. Like sewing, embroidery, dancing and a whole heap of etiquette. Instead she took secret fencing lessons from the guards until her father found out when she was 12. Then at the age of 14 her father discovered she was taking magic lessons. By the time she was 16, Cimorene ran away, ending up to be Kazul's princess [Kazul is the dragon who Cimorene is her princess]. There she has the freedom to do anything she wants. From cooking to magic! While Cimorene has an enjoyable lifestyle with Kazul, she has to deal with the trouble of knights that keep trying to rescue her, convincing them she was happy with Kazul and did NOT want to be rescued. As ther story goes on, the plan of wizards trying to overtake the kingdom of the Mountains of Morning unravels and builds up. There are also other characters such as Morwen the witch who doesn't take any nonsense from anyone, Princess Alianora who helps Cimorene with the wizards, a stone prince and other dragons you will meet and get to know. This book is the kind for anyone. It includes humor, adventure, plot, excitement and a hint of romance, thinly lined around the borders of the story. Cimorene is an irresistible main character that you will find hard NOT to like. I recommend this book to practically EVERYONE. It will be a great beginning for those who are starting to get into fantasy. Read it, even for those are non-fantasy lovers! Let this book take you a place of fantsy and imaginary you would not want to leave and enjoy it!
