Book Description:
Through no fault of his own, the once human Jim Eckert had become a dragon. Unfortunately, his beloved Angie had remained human. But in this magical land anything could happen. To make matter worse, Angie had been taken prisoner by an evil dragon and was held captive in the impenetrable Loathly Tower. So in this land where humans were edible and beasts were magical -- where spells worked and logic didn't -- Jim Eckert had a big, strange problem.

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:
  • 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.
