"so far"? You mean you didn't read all of them yet?
Hehe, well there's also quite a difference between Toothless' behaviour in the last books when the things get more serious.
Do you know audiobooks as well? They are brilliant! I actually had several first books only as an audiobooks, only recently I bought the whole series as the books and was finishing reading it in books, now I'm rereading the first books again because it was long ago when I first "read" (listened to) them and so I'm also now enjoying the great illustrations in them (ok, that probably doesn't interest you sorry ).
I don't know if I could say I had a favourite one, I love them all (plus as I said I read the first ones long ago so don't remember all of it now), but if I was forced to name one I think I could go with A hero's guide to deadly dragons (but I don't know maybe if I would reread all of the first ones I'd say otherwise )

Well yes, in fact I still have finished book 5: How to Twist a Dragon's Tail. In fact haven't finished it in years, I'm not big on reading but when I do read, I do get into it and I really do love the How to Train Your Dragon book series. They're fun to read, but lately I've been busy doing other things and haven't been keeping up with it.

Yes, but I haven't listened to the audio books, and I it would be pretty fun to read the book while listening to the audio books like a read along. But otherwise it's better to read it without the audio books and imagine how the characters would sound yourself. X3 (No no it is interesting, and the illustrations are cute ^^ plus it is a children's book. X3) I only have 6 books, but I did look up that there's a dozen books in total, since I haven't finished book 5 yet and I have 6 books for now, I only have two left to read. But that's up to me if I want to buy the last half dozen. X3

I see. Well you have lots of things to see ahead yet . 
And it just happens sometimes that one doesn't have time to read no matter how much they enjoy the books. After all I had a huge pause between reading (listening to) first few books and then the rest (that I went through during this august by the way )).

Hmm, I think I know what you mean with the audiobooks and imaging yourself how the characters would sound, but these audiobooks are really brilliant, much better than any other audiobook I ever heard but yeah, I'm not trying to persuade you of course lol. And reading a book yourself while holding it in your hand (and I mean a real paper one not an e-book) is ALWAYS better no matter how great audiobook could be plus. Plus the brilliant and amusing illustrations of Cressida in this one.

Yeah.

And yes, also I'm sure the audio books sound great. I might listen to them while reading from my book. I've heard some of the Harry Potter books that my dad has, and those are brilliant too! ^^ (And yes real paper, not those fake e-books where they try to be books.) Yep they are.
