Book Reviews of Naruto, Vol. 1: The Tests of the Ninja
Book Review: A Great Series!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen a lot of the anime, and have seen a lot of the manga. While the two do differ, I don't know what fool said they were identical :(, but it's nothing that hurts the story. For example, Kakashi's test is different in the manga than in the anime. I will be honest with you, this is one of my favorite series. It may never come to the USA, but despite that it's still very popular here. It's an intelligent, funny, action filled series! In Japan it has a huge fan base- clothing lines, and a lot of video games. The story... a long time ago a fox demon was ravaging the town. A hero comes and seals the soul in infants body. Well, that boy grows up, and he is ninja trainee Naruto. I won't spoil anything else, except expect bad ass ninja killing scenes and the like. :) Buy it! If it gets popular enough maybe someone will liscence it!
Book Review: A great book love it
Summary: 5 Stars
Naruto how to begin.... I know! Well I saw it in store one day. I didn't think much about it but later that day I called my friend in KS. She started taking about Naruto. She said that she watched it on TV and that she wished that it was a manga book. I then told her that I saw the book at the book store that day and then the next time I went to the store I thought that I should buy it. I did and it was great. And now, the story of Naruto. In the world of Naruto is a wrold were ninjas are the ultimate power. A boy, Naruto wants to be the best ninja in the villige. To prove himself to the people of the villiage. Now here is were it gets a little sad Naruto is an orphan his parents were killed by a evil nine tailed demon fox and not just his parents were killed by the fox but thousands of people as well. To make matters worse the demon fox's spirit is locked inside of Naruto. Poor Naruto lives all alone as a orphan and all the villiagers hate him. The only way for him to get attention is for him is to play pranks and he will never have a parents love. Moving on, he Sasuke and the strogist kid in the akadme Sasuke narutos rival but sasuke dosent even pay atenchen to naruto and there sensa Kakashi. Ending is to good to miss it is a huge cliff hanger. If you do not like cliff hangers ties is not a series for you. All of the Naruto Books end with a cliff hanger. One more thing I have to add is the #1 manga person in the USA is Kakashi Narutos sensa . I highly recamend Naruto. It is one of my favorites I have read all eight books and most of book nine in sneak peaks so I highly recamend it for kids from ten to fiften years old. Enjoy Shonen Jump Graphic Novel Naruto I highly rekamend it!!!!!!!! It is a very good book. If you like Naruto you may like Rave Master,Tokyo Mew Mew if you are a girl, and you like Cardcaptor Sakura and if you are a girl, and you can't go wrong with Fruit Basket. Naruto is also on cartoon Netwerk on Friday at 7:30 to 8:00 and at 8:00 to 8:30. I love Naruto, I hope you do to.

Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a girl,but I'm a big fan of shonen manga and this is one of my favorite mangas.I'd have to seriously think about if I like Rave Master or Naruto better.Anyway,I'm a big Naruto fan,and I think that most people would love this manga.For those of us who are squemish,like I am a bit,you may end up having the same first impression that I did: 'It's too bloody'.Some of the scenes are bloody,but this is still an excellent manga title.I read the entire title at the store before buying it because I was so absorbed in it.After I finished,I just couldn't wait to get volumes two and three.I believe that this series has realistic characters,given the situation,a feat a lot of manga-ka cannot acommplish.Naruto, for starters,is a young prankster who is detirmined to try his hardest at his set task.Naruto has a rivalry with SasukeHis dream is to surpass all who come before him and to become the leader of his village.Sasuke is smart and strong.He is detirmined to kill a 'mystery' ninja and avenge himself. Normally calm and collected,he appears stronger than Naruto at times.Sakura has a large crush on Sasuke,who,in return,ignores her.Naruto has a crush on her.She is extremely smart,although she doesn't really fight.Even though she is the weakest of the three,she is a likeable character.
All in all,this is a great manga,with great action.My friend says that he has trouble understanding the fight scenes,so I guess that should be a warning to most.For those of you who purchase and end up liking this manga,the anime is coming to Cartoon Network in September.
Book Review: A real page turner
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm actually in my mid-twenties and I can't put this book down. At first when I saw it on Cartoon Network I thought "this is stupid, a mischevous Bart Simpson clone who stars in his own anime." But seeing how popular it had become I decided to buy the first DVD boxed set with money that was burning a hole in my pocket. After that I was hooked! I had to start buying all of the manga because I can't stand waiting to find out what happens next. Even though I'm definently not an Otaku, and reading right-to-left gives me a headache; it never slowed me down even a little bit. I read all 11 books in less than a week and I even bought the Shonen Jump magazine to see one of the conclusions.
The character development is great, there isn't a single one that I think they should do without. Naruto has a lot of heart and it is a pretty inspirational story. I'd be lying if I said I didn't even get choked up at some parts. It's also very unpredicable, the protagonists don't always win, the antagonists aren't always as tough as they seem. One thing is for sure, it's full of suprises. It is almost like it's own little world that forms itself in real-time. I think many non-anime fans may even like it too.
