3.0 out of 5 stars Worth Reading, Feb 24 2004

By	Ashley Lambert-Maberly (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dragon of the Lost Sea is, ultimately, nothing more than a quest adventure, but it is elevated by its surprisingly lovely, elegant writing, and distinguished by a Chinese flavour.

If you enjoyed this, but would like something more grownup/meatier/cleverer/funnier, definitely check out Barry Hughart's "Bridge of Birds" for a more rollicking adventure in a never-never China, an absolutely terrific book.

Note: 3 stars, for me, is a pretty good review, 4 is for extremely distinguished works, and 5 only for those I consider classics. Most of what is published is, unfortunately, a 2 or less.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book, Dec 30 2003

By	Becca (Elizabethtown, pa United States) - See all my reviews

Dragon of the Lost Sea is an excellent fantasy book. It's not too in-depth, but it's still very good. It's told from the dragon's point of view, which would seem odd, but somehow Yep has made it not childish at all. There are some dry parts, but most of this book is very interesting and I would recommend it to anyone 12 or older, because everyone will like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars a very good book, Jun 10 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragon of the Lost Sea (School & Library Binding)

I thought this book was exciting. My favorite part was when the characters were in the caves. I was disappointed in the ending because it left me "hanging".
