Book Reviews of Discovery of Dragons
Book Review: Base's Masterpiece
Summary: 4 Stars
While Graeme Base has recieved much acclaim over other books like Animalia this is really the greatest thing he's written. The book is loaded with Australian humor that must be read several times for the jokes to be understood. The book is divided into 3 sections chronicling 3 famous serpentologists(someone who studies dragons). Each section has 4 letters written by that serpentologist with a massive picture of the dragon in question. There is two reasons why I haven't given this 5 stars. One because it should be formatted less as a story and more factual and two because the 18 dollar price tag is outrageous. Base should really write more about this subject because he's really in his element here.
NOTE: While this is considered a 'picture book' it is not for anyone under 10 years old(and not many 10 year olds will get it either).
