Wow ... that's awesome. Thanks! :mrgreen:

I remember the Asian kind now that I've seen them and I definitely think I prefer those ones over the western. Pretty cool! :)

I like them both.
But I really like when western dragons are depicted as good :)

I must admit that I don't know much about dragons. But I think I prefer the western kind.

Yeah, the eastern dragon is usually seen as being more related to a snake, with an elongated body, and it's often seen a water animal. (Remember the crappy fish pokemon that evolved into the awesome dragon? Totally based on old legends!)

The snakey dragons should sue the pants off of pokemon for that. Besides, I hate that crappy fish pokemon.

I have no idea what I'm talking about. :?

The personalities are multiplying as we speak. I've just developed another. Her name is Carol. She likes to knit and watch Law & Order reruns. She has a major crush on Benjamin Bratt. Her favorite candy is Smarties, and her bunion "predicts rain better than the :orcs-censored: weatherman."

My four:

:banana-blonde: :banana-guitar: :banana-rock: :banana-tux:

Carol is the one in the tux.

Guys, I think we're upsetting people. We should be focusing on the review and not on increasing the number of posts in this thread. It's not fair for other reviewers.

These comments should be about the book/review and not about being a popularity contest.
