Dragonhaven

Have you ever read a book by the author Robin McKinley.Truthfully I have never read any of her books but since I'm a book critic(A bad one)now I decided  I should give one of her book a try.Dragonhaven is a book written by Robin McKinley and it was published in 2007,it receive a lot of positive reviews.

The High and Low
.The author clearly knows her dragon facts as she explains interestingly about the dragon world,sometimes even I wonder that if she actually lived in that world
.Jake's eagerness to protect the dragon is heartwarming and feels fresh.Of course there are lots of story that shows the bond between a boy and his pet\friend but I probably felt that this book had something fresh because the relationship between Jake and his dragon are more like a dad and son instead of brothers or friends.

.Some times the story took its time on details that it just go straight to the point of boring(Yes sometimes I do feel like being thought in Robin McKinley's Dragon class)
.When I bought this book I thought that this book would have more adventure but I was dissapointed that the book almost had none at all

Quick summary
Jake Mendoza is a boy about 14 years old that lives with is father one day Jake went hiking in the woods and found an injured dragon that was injured by a poacher and in turn the dragon killed him soon the dragon dies and left her baby dragon alone. Jake decided to care for the dragon but he must keep it a secret because saving a dragon is actuaaly illegal and when the news about the dead dragon spread some people decided maybe it's better if there were no dragons at all and the poacher's family wants all the dragon in the woods to be killed....................................................If you want to know what happens next just read the book

The Conclusion
I've got to say that sadly Dragonhaven is a not so enjoyable book and I had a high expectation since Diana Wynne Jones liked it(My favourite author).The author definitely knows her humour and she aslo told a good story about "animal's right",friendship and parenting but sadlyit is not much of an adventure book so by that it made the story a little bit duller.The story is told in great detail and full of explanation that sometimes you swear that you feel that you're like in a biology class.I mean reading 80 pages of dragon details can be a little boring.don't misunderstand me the details on dragon and the other animals is a good thing(I guess) but sometimes it's just too much. This book is definitely for dragons fans who craves for a dragon story that is full of detail and depth but for other readers I think you can find another book instead.
