Review: The Unfriendly Dragon

The Unfriendly Dragon by Brae Wyckoff
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Well, I actually bought into the colorful descriptions and positive reviews on GR. To think that I asked our library to buy a copy! But they did buy it :(
The book opens with a presentation of the hero, who is an "Ordakian" and "is very similar to a small human, but with really hairy feet". Does it sound familiar? So he with another "ordakian" and a dwarf goes on an adventure, without any mention of the original author or books anywhere (but there are several pages of "reviews", quite fantastic, and an "all rights reserved" statement).
Unfortunately, the heroes are the only thing that Mr. Wyckoff plagiarised. The content is very primitive in all respects: words, syntax, and ideas. I wouldn't recommend even for very young readers, after four it's simply out of the question.
