Which is better book or movie

Hi sis

Hi

Sis B-)

I'm new so plz don't put negative comments

Ooh, you just started the Civil War with dragon fans. XD
I have to say the book. I love the characters more, the darkness, the humor, the realistic part of it. No one is coming back to life, blah, blah, blah. Plus, I've grown to love Hiccup.

Personally I would not know what to choose

I chose "movie". For one thing, I saw the movie before I read the books (and even then I only read the first one). I probably would've loved the books if they had been out when I was in middle school/early high school, but it just felt too easy of a read for me and I hadn't read a picture book in years.

As for the movie, I connected with the characters (especially Hiccup). Plus his relationship with Toothless and how it progresses is like me and my cat. My cat was also a stray (though she was not "downed" in any way) and it took a long time to get her to trust me. Now, she literally follows me everywhere around the house.

Um...yeah, didn't mean to go all psycho-analysis mode on this topic. It kinda just happened...

This is clearly one of the few exceptions where the movie is far superior than the book.

Both are good in their own ways. Thats all I'm gonna say.

Yeah, the first one is not all that great. The newest ones, 9, 10, 11, are great though. The pictures are a bit young, but I like them. I would have said the movies as well if I read the first only. You should try the later books!
