Talk:Dealing with Dragons

I've added a 'Reception' section, with info about reviews/awards won by the novel. It may not have reached Tolkien-level fame, but it was fairly well-received in the real world! :) Alanna the Brave (talk) 22:22, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I cleaned up the page, got rid of some spurious links, and fixed some spelling & punctuation. I am the creator of the nearby Enchanted Forest Chronicles page. By the way, thanks to the creator of this page for starting it. Alethiophile 23:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I changed a few descriptions that didn't seem to fit the character and removed some that were inaccurate. This is a great book and the article doesn't do it justice.--Brain 22:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Reviews
Cimorene is a spunky and smart princess who uses her head and doesn't let others do her thinking for her simply because “she's a princess”. She goes through all sorts of trials, but she gets through them. Sometimes on the (good) advice of others, sometimes by luck, but most often it is through either preparation or sound reasoning. Cimorene builds a good circle of friends around her and does her best to help out her friends and those she cares about, and even those who want to eat her. She isn't a patty-perfect shero who fears no monster, conquers everything at the first attempt, and saves the day without mussing a single perfect golden lock. Nor is she the patty-perfect princess, as the pattern is set by her country. That's what's so appealing about this book: the princess Cimorene. And the humour and adventure, of course. I would recommend it to just about anyone. It's an awesome book that I would recommend for anyone. It is focused more towards girls, but it's got a little of something for just about everyone. Humour, princesses and knights, witches, magic, adventure, and dragons! I mean, what more do you want? There's nothing offensive in this book, and it's a great book for a family, too. This book is also available on audiotape and would make be great for a long drive or family trip. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.201.20.185 (talk) 16:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
