The funniest book I’ve ever read. I actually laughed out loud like twenty times. Just as good as I remembered :)

FUNNY AS:) especially at the end:

DRAGON: what do you want?
HUMAN: we come in peace.
DRAGON: NO you dont.
HUMAN: Yes we do, honest.
DRAGON: Go away
HUMAN: But we'd really like to come and live in this beautiful place.
DRAGON: Of course you would who wouldn't.
HUMAN: So can we?
DRAGON: No snod off.
HUMAN: You'll be hearing from our solicitors.
DRAGON: You'll be hearing from my nose.
and of course the dragon had a really really bad cold at the time so yeah it think its self explanitory...
The end result was usally a few toasted messangers followed by a another population of dragons wiped out by angry humans.
HEHE!!!

I didn't finish this because I was getting a bit bored. The Floods books are great but this one wasn't one of his best books.
