This book was great, lighthearted and funny. However, the movie and the book are quite different in the plot and other things , but they still managed the overall important thing that makes this story great: the feel/tone.
It was a quick refreshing read that is really hard to describe. The book and the movie both work well together and separately. In my opinion I like the movie better but only because it was more of a dramatic jump for hiccups and the tribes lifestyle.
Also toothless was completely different, movie toothless was more loveable (except the AWFUL habit moviemakers have of making ALL animals act like dogs!!). Book toothless was way more realistic and true to form. He/she? also was pretty funny and really helped make up the good stuff about the book. The book feels like stuff is missing, but I guess that because we have sequels 🤷🏻‍♀️.
