Racing Dragons on Feb. 16, 2014

Exciting, Adventuresome; complete with nasty villains and a stout-hearted dragon! Racing Dragons is a thrill ride that reminds us that some things are not for the taking. Some things are better left alone. Racing Dragons is a story about a dragon who has been taken from his forest and is determined to return home, or die trying. It's about a dragon who can think, fly, and talk because he was genetically modified by humans. He is different, he is intelligent...and he knows it. In his eyes, humans have experimented with him for science, then kidnapped him for money, and finally, they have subjected him to Gladiatorial combat for the sake of entertainment. But, there is one human, Bax, who out of necessity, has promised to help this noble dragon return to his beloved forest. Together, they have a unique bond between them. One that will need to grow if they are to survive the nasty villains and the arena itself. With regard to character development, scene setting, and storytelling, Todd Burnett has achieved an exciting story which is well crafted and nicely written. Bax and his dragon along with their few friends are the kind of characters you want to know. What stands out for me is the simple moral of the story. Racing Dragons reminds us that some things are not for the taking. Some things are better left alone. I'd recommend Racing Dragons to anybody who likes a good thrill ride and very likeable characters. I recommend with 5 stars.
