WAAH! what an epic book. I loved it till the last word of it, although I must admit that there were several unnecessary details. But the book was definitely worth my time. Miyuki Miyabe has the most amazing imagination. I really admire her. She did a great job in attaching Wataru and Mitsuru together. They had a very unique strange friendship that made me wish I had the same twisted relationship with someone. The book was filed with descriptions and some unwanted details but all to make theThis story (translated from the Japanese) is like two stories mashed together. It begins in the real world with a young boy (age 11) named Wataru. There's some strange goings-on in a half-built house in his neighborhood (and it's pretty interesting). But then that bit gets overshadowed by Wataru's disintegrating family. Wataru wants to fix things and thinks he'll get a chance by fulfilling a mission into another world called Vision. Brave Story is fat, heavy, 800-page book and Wataru's entrance
Brave Story Review Book Rating: 5 stars out of 5. Story Line: Wataru is a ten year old boy that has to struggle through something at a very early age. It was something that no ten year old should have to suffer with. I was able to connect with him because of how he was feeling. The book starts off pretty interesting. Wataru believes that one of the buildings is haunted, but that is not the case. He goes into the building with his friend. He ends up meeting the owner, the owner's son, and the
The overarching story is interesting, the emotional struggle of a young boy seeing his parents divorce and having to go through all the strain involved in that had me emotionally invested. The scenes where he goes back along the corridor to speak with his mother were particularly well-done and the ending was mostly good...yet despite those good things, it was far, far too long of a book.So the concept of "I'm in a video game" sounds cool at first, but there were multiple problems with it. For
I remember as a child watching cartoon movies on HBO and Showtime, movies like Nausicaa, which fascinated me, as they were nothing like any of the cartoons you saw on television at the time. Characters with emotional depth, with real feelings. And sometimes the characters died, which is something you don't see on American cartoons. Cobra Commander might have been an evil mastermind, but he couldn't shoot the broad side of a barn. And no Transformer ever got killed until the movie, which sent
Terrific. Good character development. More philosophical than I would have imagined, but in a thought-provoking, creative, emotional, and inspiring way. A long book, bit slow in the beginning, but well worth the read. I found it very entertaining. I'm sad to be leaving Wataru, Vision, and the adventure. Being that I am currently struggling with personal misfortune like Wataru and Mitsuru, I find that I am strengthened to go bravely forward and embrace my future, and find happiness in all the
If you enjoyed the Narnia books, the Wrinkle In Time books, or even Lloyd Alexander's Prydain books, you're going to love this one. At 816 pages, it's a little on the meandering side, but when you surrender yourself to its heft, you'll be rewarded with a very well thought-out imaginary world inhabited by tons of charming (and not so charming) creatures. If I had a kid just starting to sniff out more challenging literary adventures, I'd give her this book to tackle. The architecture of plot is
