1: +2 Vorpal Bath
More jokes about eels for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, more clumsy spells of wizards, more greed from the Headmaster, and a smelly female dragon that is awfully mad at Wiglaf for killing her son. Probably a bit too predictably for nine to twelve year olds, this dragon's weakness is a bath. Basically a saturday morning cartoon episode set to prose, this might be good for reluctant readers just getting started on chapter books or six to nine year olds who devour up anything medieval, but the 9 to 12 tag is pushing it a bit.

2: It's OK
It's OK. Not as good as the first one. The pace was too slow.

3: Rollicking fun twist after book 1
My son and I discovered this whole series of books when he was a first grader...perfect for him to read as a second grader now. In the spirit of Harry Potter and the Hobbit but not so complex that kid's lose the story line. Full of jokes and adventure, I cannot recommend these any more strongly for the 7 to 10 age group (depending on reading ability). We've had two impressive endorsements: When we first began reading about Wiglaf, it was on a plane to Colorado. As I read to my son, I realized that other children were tuning in to the story. Several parents asked for the book titles and the author when we landed. Also, late last year I read books 1-3 for a first grade class and have since read to the second grade. The library has been unable to keep two full sets in stock and the teachers have purchased their own sets. It has taken reading by storm as boys and girls strive to finish the series. Oh yeah, and adults will get a private chuckle out of the humor and wordplay from time to time.

4: TOTALLY EXCELLENT
This book was great! I got it for my 9 year old son, because it was recommended by Amazon as similar to Harry Potter. It has many similarities, including humor, peril and awful relatives. The main difference is the length of the books. At under 100 pages, my son finds this book much less intimidating. I definately recommend this book for anyone who enjoys wordplay, adventure, and likes seeing the little guy win every once in a while.
