Criticize Appertaining To Books The Fire Within (The Last Dragon Chronicles #1)

I normally love books by British authors but I didn't finish this one.While it had some unusual characters and several funny lines, the plot was too ambiguous... and meandering.And there were far too many squirrels. Where did all the squirrels come from? It's supposed to be a book about dragons. All the dragons do is write in notepads, make strange noises, and cry, etc. And I'm supposed to care about some squirrel dying just because the annoying little girl is obsessed with them? I guess

I was pretty disappointed with this one. Quite a few of my kids at school really like this one and the series. It has a pretty cool core idea with some dragon lore and living dragon statues, but then like 80% of the book is about saving some squirrels! Who cares?! Seriously. The little girl and the main 20-yr-old freaking out so much about the squirrels isn't really believable and it definitely isn't interesting.The book suffers from a semi-common JF fiction problem of the characters acting

The Fire Within is about dragons so of course I picked it up... in 5th grade. Since I'm looking for new books and not having any success, I decided to re-read this book.I will say that the language is really low-grade level, but I really like Chris d'Lacey's style of writing. It's so engaging in an indefinable way. I really love books like that; books you put down but wish that you could read all the way through without being interrupted. One big problem I had with this book though is the

This book was BORING!!!!! It should have been called "Conker's Life" or something to that effect. I was looking for dragon fantasy and I got a crappy story about squirrels. The characters were completely undeveloped, and I hated Lucy. That may sound harsh, but she maybe the most annoying character ever created. I was looking forward to reading the whole series. That is never going to happen. I made myself finish the book because I paid nearly $10.00 ( e-book) for less than 200 pages. The series

When David moves into the Pennykettle's house as a tenant,he is unsuspecting. But event leads to event,and soon he is caught up in the strange mysteries of the house. A squirrel loving girl,a fantastic potter,and strange clay dragons. Soon he is caught up in it too.can he solve the mystery?

Sooooooo...how did we get here? My daughter likes dragons, as in How to Train Your Dragon, and I need something to send her to camp with that was on her reading level. I was at a bookstore staring at the eye-catching cover on this one, and a teen next to me exclaimed that she loved this series. Oh, excellent, so I get it, send it off to camp, and my daughter comes back having read one chapter, which is unusual, but I didn't really investigate it at the time. Months later having read many other

The fantasy parts of this book were believable but the reality parts were not. The characterization of the main character was completely ridiculous and unbelievable. The language was terrible (who says "Aren't you supposed to be at college" instead of "aren't you supposed to be in class?" The word college was seriously over-used, like the author had to keep pointing out that he was in college since his character wasn't nearly mature enough to be in college and any guy actually in college would
