This is a great series for those interested in Meiji Japan or swordsmen with extreme codes of ethics. Kenshin is a great cross between the comic and the emotionally intense.

Some of the artwork makes the fast pace of this narrative difficult to follow, but if you like action and a plot that never stops, you'll enjoy Naruto.

Well, it was better than I thought it would be at first. However, the entire thing felt rushed. Plot points all too conveniently and suddenly fell into place. Important phone calls ended in two seconds. The main character remained rather static and flat throughout the book. Still, if you're looking for a quick read that doesn't require too much inferring or deep thought, this one is nice. The ending is cute, especially the bit with the clock (not really spoiling, but it's cute). Hopefully the author will have an editor for his next book and won't have to self-publish.

Although this book had a few issues for me (animal cruelty, if that triggers you) and a bit of a rushed ending, it was still fantastic. I couldn't put this one down. I loved the impostor Rebecca and the real Bec Winter equally. I didn't think there could be a satisfying ending with this one, but there was.

The major plot points of this book were predictable, but the nuances were not. I'm an only child, so I cannot begin to fathom the loss of a sister, let alone a twin. But I do understand what it means to lose yourself, and the author captures that emotion perfectly. It was wonderful to watch Kelsey find herself in this narrative.

This book was a quick read, and perfect if you don't want to dig too much into literary technique or focus too much on what works and what doesn't. It was cute and it hit emotionally in all the right places. I can see myself loving this book to pieces if I had read it in high school, so for that reason, it gets five stars from me!
