Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A delight!
Review: Dragon lovers: marvel at the some of the most enchanting dragon stories ever written! Could have used a few more serious tales, though with dragons as heroes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE WORLD'S GREATEST COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES EVER!!
Review: I LOVED this book! I've never in my life read stories of this calliber!I couldn't put this book down.It was delightful from cover to cover.I highly recommend this book to anyone who has fallen in love with the world of dragons.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book
Review: Some of the stories are boring in my opinion or should have been either longer or shorter. I would not recommend this unless you are a big fan of any of the authors.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but repetitve
Review: Some of the stories are quite similar to others. Of course, they all have to do with dragons, but several fall in the Hero goes to slay Dragon formula. The Orson Scott Card does not seem to fit in the traditional dragon formula and is the outstanding story. The Anne MaCaffrey is good but overwritten at points. I expected more from the Zelazny. It was very good, but Zelazny has done such mind-blowing work that this seems to be a bit trite. The Friesner is hillarious and the best of the funny stories in this book. The Martin and Tilton are quite good, but not estradordinary. The rest were merely okay, except for The Ever-After which had horrid prose.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book
Review: This was a fairly good book. It gave a lot of information that someone might use while reading any of Anne McCaffrey's books. I liked this book because of that. Anyone who likes dragons could use this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Light but entertaining
Review: Very enjoyable stories, but light weight reading.

The inclusion of the first few chapters of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern disguised as a short story was disappointing though.
