This book is part of the Dragonlance universe and it is an adventure with some minor characters from a YA series. In this one, Mudd is forced to go on a quest to rescue an elder woman from his village. As per usual for a fantasy adventure, he is joined by a group of different characters.

The story was intriguing but the writing was not very high quality. It might be a good book for kids but I would not recommend it for anyone who has read a book as descriptive as The Hobbit since there is no going back to this.
This book is tremendous, there are many things that happened in this book. Its starts with a boy roughly age 16 who is sent on a quest after the attack of the legendary dragon redclaw. Shemnara was captured after the first raid, and now he is sent on a quest to seek the silver dragon sleekwing. Him and his sister went together and on this trip they picked up a couple of men. A elf with a pendant of wishes and a knight. They went together and soon came upon a village with a library with the clues..more
The book was fairly good but it honestly wasn't my type of book to read. One of the characters Mudd (he was probably my favorite) lived in a small peaceful town. Mudd's life will not be peaceful for much longer be the red dragon attacks the village he lived in. The red dragon burned the town homes and even kidnapped Shemnara. Shemnara was the ladie who was captured by the red dragon and also warned Mudd and his sister. I personally would not recommend this book to others because I just didn't li..more
This felt like reading a narrative RPG game. The attack moves and spells used were pretty much exactly like what I'd find used in one, the characters were stereotyped well enough to fit the usual roles, and the entire storyline was pretty simplistic.
I did have some difficulties following the story, though, as the characters weren't too memorable so when a character we were introduced to early on showed up later in secret I completely forgot about him. It also wasn't pleasant to deal with the us..more

Dragons, magic, dwarves, seers, and interesting draconian creatures. My 11 year old son started reading this and since I am awed by dragons I joined in. We agreed that the beginning was engaging and wished that energy had continued throughout the story. The enmity and the confrontation between the red and silver dragon was exciting. The story that followed slowed down, but it was still entertaining.

Red Dragon Codex is a tale about a quest for multiple items, all because of a nasty red dragon named Redclaw. You see, Redclaw enjoys causing pain and suffering wherever she goes. She practically destroyed Potter's Mill and Greenhollow so that it would cause a chain of events that will eventually lead her to the silver dragon, whom she intends to kill. What a nasty piece of work Redclaw is.

This book is one of the slowest, stupidest, most monotonous things I've ever read. Generally, I have good taste in books, and I don't generally find a need to bash them. This thing, though.. this is just ridiculous.
The characters are just straight-up copy-and-paste from every other fantasy adventure book ever. You've got the plucky hero kid, the girly princess, the seer, the dragon. And it is all horribly boring.

When a Red Dragon attacks Mudd’s village and kidnaps the village seer, Mudd goes on a quest to find a pendant that will summon a Silver Dragon to aid in a rescue mission. Mudd is joined by his sister Hiera, a dwarf named Drakecutter, Iroden, and the warrior Kirak.

I picked this book up on a whim when it came to the library. I'm so glad I did! The story reminds me of a junior version of 'The Hobbit'. Following a band of interesting characters who can carry the story all on their own, you get to travel to interesting places and creative creatures. Following the main character, Mudd, you join them on their quest to find the dragon pendant and defeat the evil red dragon. Meant for preteen/teen readers, this book will appeal to any fantasy style fans. A great..more
This book was written by my writer friend, Rebecca Shelley. I just picked this up at her book launch party the other day. Thus far, it's a fun little fantasy. This one was written for young readers, ages 8 to 10. From what I've read so far, they should enjoy the action. Plenty of dragony meanness, plenty of character drama, and, yes, a death toll. It's good to see that there are still moments of tough sledding, even in a story designed for the younger kids.

This book was incredibly bland. if I'd had the time, I could have read it in a single day.
one dimensional characters and gaping plot wholes with a point and fetch RRPG Quest feel, this book nearly had me asleep.
the world was completely undeveloped, and even the last page left me with no desire whatsoever to read whatever came after this.
I don't think I could read one more page of such a simple but terribly executed story.

I read most of this series when I was a preteen and obsessed with dragons (well, that part didn't go away :) ). Ran across it in the library today and just couldn't resist. So nostalgic. :) Fun characters, clean, easy read. One of my favorite parts is when Hiera is faced with two mirrors, showing the girl side and the tomboy side, and can't walk through either, and finally, to get past, she has to accept BOTH parts of her and walk through them both at once. And I love Kirak.

I read this book, & loved it. It really sunk a black hole into your heart, but it had a bit of romance, with many fight sense, & a bit of magic. The author did a great gob describing the dragon's. Every thing he put into the book was used. He also did a good gob defining the carters personalities, how they acted how they felt about the other carters, I say a 5 star book, but do not recommend to all.

A delightful book that I believe will be fun for the middle-school age child, but also a joy to parents who love to read to kids of all ages. With a style that 'tastes' of Judy Blume, which is unusual for the normal fantasy story, it's witty, cute, full of adventure and action without getting too 'gross' for younger children, and doesn't leave out anything that most readers expect of a sword-and-sorcery story. Beautiful cover, reads fast, and several unexpected surprises right to the end.
The Dragon Codex is quite a story. In the beginning things seem to go a bit fast but you catch on and the book isn't very long. I like how the author describes the nature of dragons and how their differet from one another by their color. I finished the book in a few days but I wish it was longer. I'm thinking it's one of my favorite books I've read and I'll be sure to read the other books of R.D. Henham (Henham funny name don't you think) a great writer.
All in all, this book was okay. The moment I saw the word ranger in it, I checked the back of the book and sure enough, it was owned by Dungeons and Dragons. It is kind of a standard adventure. One thing I did not like is that the main character is a rogue. Why a rogue?!? I bet it is the most used main character in all of fantasy. The adventure was pretty straightforward, but it was still good. Overall, good enough to read the next, but not to rave about this one.

I read this book when I was a pre-teen and liked it a lot. It revolves around a boy named Mudd and his sister who go off on a quest to rescue the village seer from the evil red dragon, Redclaw. Along the way, they meet a few other characters who decide to tag along on their quest for one reason or another (not giving any spoilers).
This story is great for 9-15 year-olds who want a well-paced adventure filled with magic, dragons, dwarves, elves, humor, and danger lurking right around the corner.

This book was an okay book. It started slow, so I didn't get to know the charactors before the important things happened. Most authors like to write action in books. The best books are when the author makes the book have important slwo parts that most people hate. This book failed to have that, but it was good enough that I want to read the next book R. D. Henham wrote.
A fun little book. The story is good, but pretty standard. My only problem with this book was the way it tried to jam D&D type lingo and concepts in constantly. For example RPG classes are essentially forced on every main character in the book, to the point where you feel like you are being hit over the head with it.

I got a signed copy of this book in an exchange with the author, Rebecca Shelley, at Mountain-Con '08. While it is part of a series written collectively under the pen name R.D. Henham, this is a stand alone book for 9 to 12 year old kids.
THIS BOOK IS REALLY GOOD I LOVED IT!!!!! ITS ABOUT A BOY NAMED MUDD WHO TRIES TO FIND A LOCAL 'SEER' OF THE VILLAGE. HE NEEDS TO FIND THE SILVER DRAGON'S PENDENT TO SUMMON HER SO SHE CAN KILL THE RED DRAGON WHO HAS CAPTURED THE LOCAL 'SEER'.............
I really like that this book had a lot of adventures in it. It also had a lot of creatures and other things like the dragon pendant in it that don't exist in the real world. There were also interesting places like a dwarf village. I can't wait to read the Silver Dragon Codex.
Sean wanted this book for Christmas so I thought I better read it. You just never know right? Well, it was an okay book. I wasn't completely thrilled with it but I think my ten year old will enjoy it. There is lots of action. So, that's a plus right? Hope he enjoys it.
This book wasn't so much about a dragon as I expected, but it was still alright. Red Dragon Codex was about a boy who wants revenge on the dragon that destroyed his home and killed many people, and sets out for help. If you are a fantasy fan, you would probably enjoy this book.
Fun little book. The Characters names were a little off. The storie progresses quickly, maybe even a little too quickly. That might be for the younger audience though. Fun to read and held my attention I would read more of the codexs.

Red Dragon is a novel by American author Thomas Harris, first published in 1981. The plot follows former FBI profiler Will Graham, who comes out of retirement to find and apprehend an enigmatic serial-killer nicknamed 'The Tooth Fairy', who is committing familicidal murders. The novel introduced the character Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalisticserial-killer, to whom Graham reluctantly turns for advice and has a dark past with. The title refers to the figure from William Blake's painting The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun.[1]
The novel was adapted as a film, Manhunter, in 1986, which featured Brian Cox as Lecter (spelled 'Lecktor' within the film). Directed by Michael Mann, the film received mixed reviews and fared poorly at the box office. It has since developed a cult following.[2]
After Harris wrote a sequel to the novel, The Silence of the Lambs (1988), itself turned into a highly successful film in 1991, Red Dragon found a new readership. A second sequel, Hannibal, was published in 1999 and adapted into a film in 2001. Both film sequels featured Anthony Hopkins in the role of Hannibal Lecter, for which he won an Oscar for Best Actor in 1991. Due to the success of the second and third films, Red Dragon was remade as a film directed by Brett Ratner in 2002, this time bearing the title of the original novel and with Hopkins playing Lecter. This adaptation was more successful financially and critically. Elements of the novel also influenced the NBC television series Hannibal, while the plot was adapted as the second half of the series' third season.
Plot[edit]
In 1975, Will Graham, a brilliant profiler of the FBI, captured the serial killerHannibal Lecter. However, Graham suffered serious injuries from the encounter and retired afterwards. Three years later in 1979, a serial killer nicknamed 'The Tooth Fairy' stalks and murders seemingly random families during sequential full moons. He first kills the Jacobi family in Birmingham, Alabama, then the Leeds family in Atlanta, Georgia. Two days after the Leeds murders, agent Jack Crawford, Graham's mentor, goes to Graham's Marathon, Florida residence and pleads for his assistance; Graham reluctantly agrees. After looking over the crime scenes with only minimal insight, Graham realizes he must visit Lecter and seek his help to capture 'The Tooth Fairy.'
'The Tooth Fairy' is revealed (to the readers) to be the production chief of a St. Louisfilm processing firm named Francis Dolarhyde. He is a disturbed individual who is obsessed with the William Blake painting The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun (which the book misidentifies as The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun). Dolarhyde is unable to control his violent, sexual urges, and believes that murdering people—or 'changing' them, as he calls it—allows him to more fully 'become' an alternate personality he calls the 'Great Red Dragon', after the dominant character in Blake's painting. Flashbacks reveal that his sociopathy is born from the systematic abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of both his sadistic grandmother and his stepfamily.
As Graham investigates the case, he is hounded by Freddy Lounds, a sleazy tabloid reporter. Meanwhile, Lecter's de facto jailer, Frederick Chilton, discovers Lecter's secret correspondence, with which Lecter gives Graham's address to Dolarhyde. Graham's wife, Molly, and his stepson are evacuated. Graham tries to intercept the secret communication without Lecter's knowledge, but instead attracts the attention of Lounds.
Lounds becomes aware of the correspondence and tries to trick Graham into revealing details of the investigation by posing as the Red Dragon, but is found out. Hoping to lure the Red Dragon into a trap, Graham gives Lounds an interview in which he deliberately mischaracterizes the killer as an impotenthomosexual. This infuriates Dolarhyde, who kidnaps Lounds, forces him to recant the allegations, bites off his lips and sets him on fire, leaving his maimed body outside his newspaper's offices. Lounds is taken to the hospital, but dies from his injuries soon afterward.
At about the same time, Dolarhyde falls in love with a blind co-worker named Reba McClane, which conflicts with his homicidal urges. In beginning a relationship with Reba, Dolarhyde resists the Dragon's 'possession' of him; he goes to the Brooklyn Museum, beats a museum secretary unconscious, and eats the original Blake watercolor of The Red Dragon.
Graham eventually realizes that the killer knew the layout of his victims' houses from their home movies, which were developed at the same film processing lab. Dolarhyde's job gives him access to all home movies that pass through the company. When he sees Graham interviewing his boss, Dolarhyde realizes that they are on to him and goes to see Reba one last time. He finds her breaking up with her previous boyfriend, Ralph Mandy, to be with Dolarhyde; McClane grants Mandy's request for a final kiss goodbye. Enraged with jealousy, Dolarhyde kills Mandy. He kidnaps Reba and, having taken her to his house, sets the place on fire. He says he intends to kill her and then himself, but finds himself unable to shoot her. The shotgun fires, and a body hits the floor. Picture arrangements ideas on walls. Reba escapes just before the house explodes. Graham later comforts her, telling her that there is nothing wrong with her, and that the kindness and affection she showed Dolarhyde probably saved lives.
Believing Dolarhyde is dead, Graham's family moves back to the Florida home. However, Dolarhyde shows up at the house and after a violent struggle, stabs Graham in the face, leaving him with permanent facial scars, before being fatally shot by Molly. As Graham recovers, Crawford explains what happened. The dead man in Dolarhyde's house was a gas station attendant he'd had an altercation with; Dolarhyde had brought the man's body to his house to stage his own death, using Reba as a witness. Crawford intercepts a letter to Graham from Lecter, which bids him well and hopes that he isn't too disfigured, and destroys it in an incinerator.
During his recovery, Graham has a flashback to a visit he made to Shiloh, the site of a major battle in the American Civil War, shortly after apprehending (and in the process, killing) Garrett Hobbs, a serial killer he investigated before Hannibal Lecter. Graham has an epiphany about the indifference of nature and decides that it is not nature that is haunted by events, as he had thought when visiting Shiloh before, but men who are haunted.

Origin[edit]
Red Dragon is Thomas Harris's second novel, after Black Sunday. As part of his research for the book he attended classes and talked to agents at the FBI Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico, Virginia, during the late 1970s. He learned about serial killers, offender profiling and the role of the FBI in serial killer investigations.[3] After his father became terminally ill, Harris stayed for eighteen months at an isolated shotgun-style house where he worked on the book. The rural setting helped him visualize both the character of Hannibal Lecter and the Leeds murder house depicted in the story. The book is dedicated to his father.[3]:12
Reception[edit]
Red Dragon Full Book Pdf
Thomas Fleming in The New York Times gave the book a generally favorable review. He compared the development of the story to the gradual acceleration of a powerful car, but complained that the explanation for Dolarhyde's behavior, trauma in his youth, was too mechanistic.[4]James Ellroy has described Red Dragon as 'the best pure thriller I've ever read' and cited it as an influence on his own novel Killer on the Road.[5]
Adaptations[edit]
Red Dragon Book Sparknotes
- The first film, released in 1986 under the title Manhunter, was written and directed by Michael Mann and focused on FBI Special Agent Will Graham, played by William Petersen. Lecter (renamed Lecktor) was played by Brian Cox.
- In 1996, Chicago's Defiant Theatre produced a full stage version of the novel at the Firehouse theatre, adapted and directed by the company's artistic director, Christopher Johnson. The production included projected home movies as were described in the novel, including reenacting the violent murders. Dolarhyde's inner dragon was personified by an actor in an elaborate, grotesque costume and seduces the killer to continue on his violent path.
- The second film, which used the title Red Dragon, appeared in 2002. Directed by Brett Ratner and written by Ted Tally (who also wrote the screenplay for The Silence of the Lambs), it starred Edward Norton as Graham and Anthony Hopkins as Lecter.
- Elements from the novel influenced the NBC TV adaptation Hannibal, which first aired in 2013. Graham is played by Hugh Dancy and Lecter is played by Mads Mikkelsen. Though set in the 2010s, the series begins prior to the events of Red Dragon, re-imagining Graham's and Lecter's early encounters during the former's tenure with the FBI, and the events following his fatal shooting of Garret Jacob Hobbs. The plot of the novel itself was adapted for the second half of the series' third season, with Richard Armitage cast as Francis Dolarhyde[6] and Rutina Wesley as Reba McClane.
