Definitely not my favorite Haddix books. It felt like I was reading an early draft of the book. The concept was decent enough, and there seemed to be potential in there at times, but it was just corny and cliche. The characters were poorly defined and the dialogue was just bad.

Loved it. I've been a fan of Haddix for a while and this has been my favorite of her books since her Shadow Children series. It had excellent concepts and read easily. The kind of book that makes you think.

Good overview of security issues but somewhat outdated. Some information is highly technical but not too much. The average person that understands computer lingo would find it readable.

I found the book Dragon Rider to be mediocre, but sort of a let down after having read Funke's Inkheart series. However, the accents and voices that Brendan Fraser threw in seemed to bring the characters new life. All in all I would much recommend listening to the audio book than read it in book format.

This is one of my favorite books ever. It's the book that got be going on reading, and I've read it at least 3 times.

I would recommend it to children around 10 that are into Dragons-Adventure.

Amazing and original.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone (Though it does have some swearing throughout.)
