It's okay,
This review is from: Supernatural: Heart of the Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
I would have to say that the book is well written but, unfortunately, ultimately lacking. Over half the book is devoted to flashbacks, so if you are interested in what Mary and her parents, or John did in the past, then this book is for you. It does flesh out more details on the possible family dynamic. But with that, and giving a fair amount of page space to background on the books nemesis, there appears to be precious little story devoted to Sam and Dean.So, if you're a die hard SPN fan, it's not bad, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

the first real family book,
By Phenix (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Supernatural: Heart of the Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
Keith DeCandido is my favourite Supernatural related books writer (his Evermore is truly a excellent novel) and, thanks to Heart of the Dragon, he still will be... The main idea to write a story divided between three different periods of time (the early 70's, the late 80's and the present-day 2010) using the whole Winchester family (from Sam & Dean, then their late father to their mother and her parents... and the indispensable Bobby) is clearly an awesome one.Slight and only drawback : the novel is quite too short ... such a story would have deserved a longer book if not a trilogy of books to really and totally explore the subject... I highly recommand that novel to all Supernatural fans.

Seriously!?,
By Natalia Pires - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Supernatural: Heart of the Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
No one buys these books thinking that they'll be reading a master piece. It might happen, but when it does, its a pleasant surprise. On the other end of the spectrum, however, I do not expect to buy a book and find myself skipping whole chapters out of pure boredom. I bought a tie-in novel on the Supernatural series-world. As a TV series where the main characters are Sam and Dean, I would've thought that they would be the center of the story. Instead, I find myself realizing that those characters are being used in this book as crutches, a useless partition curtain in between the real plot, happening in 1969 and 1989, a mere smoke screen as the author uses this fandom to pimp out his 'original' characters, who, honestly, come out as two dimensional and flat as a piece of paper. And yes, there is a whole chapter on the Campbells (Mary Winchester's parents) and a whole chapter on John hunting on his own (is Bobby really that loaded that he buys hunters he knows plane tickets to go on hunts? What is he? The head of some hunter mafia network?) but the two characters that were suppose to actually DO something and earn this book the right to be called a Supernatural tie-in novel, are almost absent from the 'plot'.So, seriously? Worst waste of money I ever spent on books. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Very Disappointed,
By Karora Turket ""Kat"" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Supernatural: Heart of the Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
When I ordered this book, I was really excited about it. However, I was very dissatisfied with the storyline. Too much time was spent talking about Sam and Dean's family than about the brothers themselves. Once the storyline did circle back around to the boys, the wrap-up felt too quick, like the author was in a rush to finish the story. What could have been a great storyline overall failed to live up to its potential.

Where Are Sam And Dean?,
By Daryl N. Bayer - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Supernatural: Heart of the Dragon (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was extremely disappointing after having read other Supernatural books. The story line was not very exciting and it contained rarely any humorous dialogue between the two brothers. Sam and Dean were only in a few of the chapters with the rest being historical references.
