Different from the movie, but still good, January 8, 2004
Reviewer: Rachel (Bored in Bend)
I've LOVED the "Flight of Dragons" movie ever since I can remember. (I'm 22 now) I recently found that it was based off of "The Dragon and the George," so I rushed out and picked up a copy. It's an easy read, I finished it in about a day. It was a little hard to really get into... The "present" was a bit dull, but once it got going, it was very enjoyable. At first I was miffed at the inconsistencies with the movie, but I managed to get past that when the plot got going--it was kind of nice not knowing exactly what's going to happen.
Some of the differences between the movie are:
To name a few. All in all, I'd recommend it, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Some of the differences between the movie are:
- Where are the brothers? (I assume they're in latter books)
- This had Sir Bryon, rather than sir Orrin (although Orrin was mentioned)
- Where's Melisan, and what's with Angie?
To name a few. All in all, I'd recommend it, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
