Product Description

Kati nicholl, DAILY EXPRESS
'Dan Stevens's excellent rendition of the adventures of Beatrice and Daniel Cook as they attempt to prevent the evil Ignatius Crook stealing the dragon's eye and becoming Dragon Master is hopefully the first of many audiobook narrations by him. Dragons galore, interesting adults and feisty children are beautifully combined, so great listening.'

Review
'Dan Stevens's excellent rendition of the adventures of Beatrice and Daniel Cook as they attempt to prevent the evil Ignatius Crook stealing the dragon's eye and becoming Dragon Master is hopefully the first of many audiobook narrations by him. Dragons galore, interesting adults and feisty children are beautifully combined, so great listening.' (Kati Nicholl DAILY EXPRESS )

'The wonderful thing about Audiobooks is that they enable the listener's imagination to be used to full effect, even more so than in paper as the voices of the narrator and accompanying sounds add to the atmosphere. This book is full of vivid description and takes you deep into the world of Daniel and Beatrice Cook, apprentice Dragonologists. Mystery, tension and lashings of fantasy make this an unmissable adventure.' (www.FromBumptoGrump.co.uk )

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and fun, 5 Dec 2006
I am a bit biased I suppose... I have been a big fan of Dragonology and everything that has to do with dragons for years and years, so when the first story of Dr. Drake came out I was ready to gobble it up. It is written for the younger audience, and the story could have more depth and a bit more of an exciting storyline. But all in all it is fun to read and has loads of cool dragonology facts. Not tomention the absolutely stunning illustrations and look of the book in general.
Not the best story I ever read, but never the less worth a look. Young boys will love it for sure!

4.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 6 Feb 2007
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
As I read THE DRAGON'S EYE, I kept getting a feeling of deja vu. It took a while to figure out why, but then it came to me. THE DRAGON'S EYE reminded me a little of the SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS books. There was that familiar emphasis on conducting research, and recording findings in little notebooks, and solving problems. Only instead of three orphans dodging Count Olaf, THE DRAGON'S EYE focuses on a brother and sister trying to escape the evil designs of the inferior dragonologist, Ignatius Crook. Unfortunately, this one didn't have the same humor in it that I enjoyed so much in the SOUE books.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about THE DRAGON'S EYE. In the plus column, the novel was heavy on dragons of various types. They all have names and unique personalities. Also, it had an element of boy versus girl competition that seemed to resolve itself reasonably well.

On the other hand, the frequent references to dragon diaries and research methods disrupted the action. Doubtless that was the point -- to identify the importance of learning about a subject before jumping into it and conducting a poor study. But still, the execution was a little heavy-handed for my taste.

For young dragon lovers, this would probably be a popular title. I emphasize the word "young." THE DRAGON'S EYE seems geared to a younger audience than many of the books reviewed here at TeensReadToo. My 14-year-old son read it, too, and he was disappointed because it definitely felt "too young" for him. But for budding fantasy lovers who can't get enough dragons, this one has the potential to be a winner.
