I loved this book! I can't wait for my kids to read it. I was looking for a introduction into fantasy for my kids that was not too scary and would hold their attention. IT has a great story plot and just enough action. A must read!

Dragon Rider was a great book. Cornelia Funke is able to take any reader, child or adult, into her fantasy world.

I read this before giving it to my 10 year old grandson. I would say it is at just the right interest level for this age. I enjoyed it, too, but did not get as involved in the plot as with some others by this author. But, like I said, i think it is perfect fantasy for a 10 year old.

This was meant for younger readers, but I'm an adult and really enjoyed reading the book! Its filled with dragons, villains, allies, and other ancient figures of myth and legend. The beginning of the book was abit slow reading as it introduces the plot and characters. As you read further along, then the story starts to open up and leaves you wanting to know what happens next. A really good read if you like stories about dragons or if you generally enjoy sci-fi/fantasy books.
