Could have been better, Aug 31 2004
By Jay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Saint Of Dragons (Hardcover)
I liked the idea driving the plot - dragons exist in the modern world, and they live among us. However, the book failed to grab me, like I hoped it would. The dragons never really developed as a sufficiently scary threat, and the relationships between the main characters did not develop in a realistic way. I'll give it three stars, because it is by a first-time author.

dragon hunter, Dec 26 2004
By Melissa Sack - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Saint Of Dragons (Hardcover)
Simon St Saint George is alone in the world. He has never known his parents and has been left at boarding school for years. His life is uneventful until one day a man claiming to be his father shows up at the school and kidnaps him. His father tells him all about his past and his mother. It turns out that his father is the last remaining dragon hunter and he has come to show Simon the dragon hunter way of life. The rest of the book is all about the adventures that he and his father have while trying to kill all of the dragons in the world.The book moved at a fast pace. It was a real page turner. Hard to put down.
I would recommend this book to children ages 10-12 who enjoy fantasy type books.

Great book for kids, Dec 6 2005
By stefanie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Saint Of Dragons (Hardcover)
I thought this book was ok. I did enjoy it, but I felt that both the plot and the characters needed more depth. HOWEVER-my 9 year old son and my 11 year old daughter both LOVED it. In fact, I only read it because they both recommended it and because they had enjoyed it so much. The book seems to satisfy the age level for which it was written- and isn't that the point?
Listmania!
