Book Reviews of Ghost In The Shell - Stand Alone Complex Volume 1: The Lost Memory (Stand Alone Complex)
Book Review: What they used to call a juvenile
Summary: 3 Stars
This would be far more interesting as a manga, as a prose book it is a good illustration of how difficult it is to translate from Japanese to English. In order to do so the translator must be a good writer as the japanese version will only serve as an outline. The translater of this book is definitely not a good writer so this is not a very good book. If you are a real GITS fan, then go ahead and buy the book. If not I would advise you to skip it because it is writen with grade school level prose. I hope that for subsequent novels in this series the publisher finds a better translator or a better editor, beaause I really like Ghost in the Shell.
Recomended only if you are a real Ghost in the Shell fan.
Book Review: A novel set in SAC!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex - The Lost Memory by Junichi Fujisaku is a novel set in the SAC universe series. Good Morning Terrorists, young adults who keep committing crimes every few years, seem to be linked to the Red Sands. The Red Sands are drug traffickers who have been put out of business by the peace that broke out in the Middle East and their target is the man who brought it around - Osmal Najif. But why would Japanese teenagers, who don't remember anything afterwards, become terrorists and WHY are they linked to a drug ring from the Middle East?
The story expands on the SAC universe and, being written by one of the writers of the series, really has the feel of one of the episodes. Great cover and a smooth translation.
