Advantages: It's got Dragons and Napoleon all in the same book!!!!!
Disadvantages: I'm not sure it will not be for all tastes.

...I might seem a little effusive with the title of this review but it really does have two of my favourite subjects in it. I'm a massive history buff and I love stories with Dragons in. So when a novel comes long that's based on the Napoleonic Wars and has War Dragons as the 'twist' I'm in my own little world of happiness. The plot precis.. Captain of a ship of the line captures a French frigate in the middle of the Atlantic and finds a Dragons Egg carefully stored in the hold. The only problem is that it's going to hatch and they need to get a rider for the 'Dragonet' or lose the opportunity to add to Englands Dragon fleet. The Captain ends up with the dragon and has to leave the Navy to become an aviator. Causing him some awkwardness with family and friends. He eventually realises he doesn't want to be anywhere else apart from... Read review

Advantages: captures your heart
Disadvantages: gripping but not impossible to put down :-(

...Mountain, in the middle of the Han Empire. The Dragons was locked away in this cave there was tons there but only Danzi and the stone was left, therefore little Ping was determined to save this last dragon Danzi, so she did, herself and the dragon flew away with the stone. Then Danzi crashed and broke his wings, inevitably unable to fly. This is what mad the journey so long for the pair, and the stone was precious to Danzi, and when it is lost Danzi is in need of getting it back. We find out why at the end as it is left at a cliff hanger, I'm ready for the next book and I'm definitely going to finish it soon, look out for my next review. This book captured my heart, if you ever come across this book BUY IT... Read review

Advantages: unusual apperance, taste, texture
Disadvantages: expensive, may taste too bland for some

...and has a fairly delicate flavour. I think it that it will taste a lot nicer if served in a fruit salad with some stronger tasting fruits such as mangos, apples, strawberries and passion fruit. If it hadn't been for the unusual appearance and bright colour of the fruit I would have noticed it and never tried it. I'm glad I did try it because it is actually a really nice delicate tasting fruit. If you like the sound of this fruit then you can purchase it from Tesco's for the price of £1.99, I'm sure you can also purchase it from Asda, Marks and Spencers, Sainsbury's etc and also some fruit stores who sell exotic fruits. If you do decide to try the Dragon Fruit, then look out for ones which have a slightly shiny looking skin because they are fresher then the ones with dull skin. It is also best to store the fruit in the fridge and serve... Read review

Advantages: Some great inventions and funny
Disadvantages: Not a lot of investments

...Info and History As a typical human being i find myself enjoying people's misfortune equally as much as I enjoy people succeeding. Therefore Dragons Den was a gift from heaven. The show is now in its sixth series after having its first airing in January of 2005. These days I find myself longing for a TV show that I can get involved in, The Apprentice is one of my all time favourites and I suppose being along the same business type show line I'm not surprised I like this show too. The show has so far seen a variety of Dragons, although some have survived the test of time, the Dragons per season are listed below. Season 1 - Duncan Bannatyne, Rachel Elnaugh, Peter Jones, Doug Richard, Simon Woodroffe. Season 2 - Duncan Bannatyne, Rachel Elnaugh, Peter Jones, Theo Paphitis, Doug Richard. Season 3 - Duncan Bannatyne, Richard Farleigh... Read review

Advantages: A warm-hearted dream of a book
Disadvantages: can be boring at times

...Before I start my review, I would like to say that this book is inspirational, It shows what friends are for and why they are there, it show a great tale which belongs to this dragon called Firedrake!!! Seriously where do you see a dragon up in the sky on an adventure, but no this dragon is not alone, oh no he is with a courageous and very bossy also talk active cat called Sorrel who is a brownie? Not only is a cat flying on the back of a dragon, but there is 2 others on there, there is "the dragon rider" who is a human boy, called Ben, and there is also a bickering courageous Homunculi, who is called Twigleg (In my opinion I liked him and I thought he was CUTE!!!) Right onto my review, now before I begin I must tell you about all the characters, I have told you about Firedrake, Sorrel, Ben and Twigleg. But there are tons of friends... Read review

Advantages: Reality TV that encourages entrepreneurship and adds value to the world.
Disadvantages: The often scathing and barbaric remarks

....e. profits and estimated profits, long term goals etc. The entrepreneur has to hold their own throughout this scrutiny, and give the dragons a strong sense of security that if they invest, they will get a significant return on their investment. When they are ready to declare their thoughts, each dragon has to decide if they are out, or if they want to invest. If they are not interested or convinced, they will utter the famous words "I'm out". If they have been won over, they will normally start "I would like to make you an offer...". The entrepreneur has to make a pre-pitch declaration of how much investment they want, along with how much of a shareholding of their business they are willing to give the dragon, e.g. they would like £100,000 worth of investment, and, in return, give away 20% of their business. If an offer is given by a dragon... Read review

Advantages: Not too long
Disadvantages: Just not funny

...First things first . I like dragons , I like fantasy books and I like comedy. At first look Tom Holt's Paint Your Dragon seemed tailor made for me. Having read Terry Pratchett until I'm blue in the face I thought I'd try one of his competitors in the humorous fantasy genre. The basic premise is very good. St. George beat the dragon when they first met. However the dragon got a bum deal and the fight was rigged. Now it's payback time. Both combatants reappear on the mortal world by virtue of inhabiting a statue of themselves. Throw in a possessed computer , a company dedicated to catching and selling time and a handful of demons from Hell on a company outing and this should be really funny. Unfortunately it's trying far too hard. I read page after page thinking " This is supposed to be funny and I can see where the laughs should... Read review

Advantages: Has that 'one more time' factor.
Disadvantages: Too difficult to control on some levels.

...is to collect all this treasure. The main aim of the game of course, is to free all the dragons from the crystal. To advance from one world to the next, you must complete a challenge, such as freeing a certain number of dragons, or collecting so much treasure. This is explaied to you by The Balloonist, whose job it is to transport you. In each world, there are several levels, marked by arches that you can travel through. This helps to make each world seem larger, and expands on the length of the game. If you get to the end, then there is also the chance to complete a bonus level, if you collected all the treasure throughout the game. This is obviously very hard. However, the game is apparently suitable for anyone over three. I'm almost twenty, and I can't do some of the levels, so how a three year old is supposed to manage I don't know... Read review

Advantages: Animation | Characters | Action | Comedy | Story
Disadvantages: Dont Know

...there is no blood in the feature, and maybe cuts out some of the fighting, that's why I buy the uncut versions and get the whole things. My Opinion ************** In my opinion, this DragonBall Z feature was excellent, it was only £10, and I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. It has many characters, and they are all great, some annoying characters also, but that's what makes DragonBall Z, well DragonBall Z. I give this feature length film 5 star * * * * *, as it is one of the best DragonBall Z features I have ever seen, and I loved it, and all DragonBall Z fans should watch it, as I'm sure they would love it also. RATED: 13+ DUBBING: Funimation PRICE: £10 (tops) LENGTH: 50 Minutes THIS FILM IS Great Fun Fun For All Kids Action Packed THIS FILM IS NOT The Same As The Other DragonBall Z Features Boring Mindless Thanks For Reading DBZKing...
