Summary: Bone:The Dragonslayer book review
Comment: The book, Bone:The Dragonslayer is the 4th book of the Bone series. It is a good adventure book and is written by Jeff Smith. Their are over 1 million Bone books sold all over the world. The plot of this book is about Phoney bone, the main character, and him spreading rumors that he is going to to slay a dragon just to win a bet on who will sell more drinks. Then after they captured a dragon, Phoney bone couldn't kill the dragon, which revealed his lie. The time period in this book is in the modern times because it had cigars and dollar bills in the book. With a good storyline and good characters, this is the best adventure book yet.

Summary: Bone Never Disappoints
Comment: With each new Bone book I get, I never get disappointed. Each book is more and more engrossing. While the black and white issues are the originals, the colors add more to the overall story than I would have guessed. The art is great, the epic story is amazing and the colors just help bring everything together even more.
Customer Rating:
Summary: more wonderful reading!
Comment: I gotta say that once you get into the Bone series, it's hard to stop reading it, and I really enjoyed this volume, which is mostly about the antics and schemes of Phoney Bone as he tries to swindle people out of their money, hurting others along the way as things backfire terribly. Definitely great stuff!

Summary: Bone Hits His Stride
Comment: The Bone series really hits its stride in this volume. Continuing the excellence from previous volumes, the story deepens and builds into a truly great fantasy tale, on par with classics of the prose fantasy world. I'd give this volume more than 5 stars if I could. Highly recommended.
Side note: - While I understand the all ages appeal of the Bone series; I find it odd that these books get shelved (and buried from a wider range of readers) in the young adult sections of the major chain stores. It would be better to shelve them with Graphic Novels or SciFi/Fantasy.

Summary: Newcomers will find it easy to jump in.
Comment: Jeff Smith's BONE: THE DRAGONSLAYER provides another fine graphic novel in Book 4 of the Bone series. Here the forces of evil are growing - and the roots may be within the Bone family itself. Full-color graphic novel pages entice kids to read the Bone adventures, and even newcomers will find it easy to jump in.

Fone Bone confronts a host of dangers in Book 4 of the BONE saga, The Dragonslayer. He and Gran'ma Ben and Thorn have a terrifying encounter with Kingdok, ruler of the rat creatures. The Hooded One is inciting his army to full-scale war. Someone is continuing to haunt Thorn in her dreams. And then wise Gran'ma Ben disappears. To make matters worse, Phoney Bone has hoodwinked the townspeople into believing that he is a mighty dragonslayer. When he actually does catch the Red Dragon -- much to his surprise -- he must face up to his promise: to slay the dragon at sunrise.
