Summary: The ninja adventures continue with Naruto’s son, Boruto!

Naruto was a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He achieved his dream to become the greatest ninja in his village, and now his face sits atop the Hokage monument. But this is not his story... A new generation of ninja is ready to take the stage, led by Naruto's own son, Boruto!

Boruto gets through round two of the Chunin Exam and receives praise from his father. But what Naruto doesn’t know is that his son is cheating by using prohibited ninja tools. What will happen to Boruto when the truth is revealed? Meanwhile, darker forces are advancing behind the scenes… 


Review: It’s a continuation of Boruto as he goes for the chunin exams. Boruto does rather well, only to be discovered for cheating. It’s quite poor character, and his reaction to being discovered only makes it worse. When Oototsuki attack, Naruto has to go to his tail beast form and for the first time Boruto sees how awesome his dad is.

Later Naruto kidnapped by the Oototsuki and it is one of the significant moment when Boruto self realizes and has to change himself. This development seems to make a step forward in his relationship with his father, and see how awesome his dad was and go to rescue his dad with the other kages.

Honestly, it happens rather quickly. There wasn’t really much improvement than the first volume, this was not a good sign. The pacing of events continues to be a problem.

From what I heard, this is a rehash from what happens in the anime. This discourages me from continuing the series.

Why I should continue to read if I was going to read a copy and paste story? Where is the original story?

At the end of the volume, we’re amidst another big fight scene, in the middle of yet another big reveal by the bad guys.

I guess I will have to read the next volume.

The Face of a Stranger (William Monk #1)

  By:  Anne Perry Release Date:   November 1st 2011 (first published 1990) Publisher:  Thorndike Press Series:  William Monk #1 Rating:  1 out 5 They said his name is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But an accident that happened upon him left him with no memories. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero. Can he solve this mystery when he forgot his professional skills along with everything else? The Face of a Stranger is a boring book. I struggled to finish the book, and  I was close to being defeated. The main character, Monk, has amnesia. I get it. But he sits around with all this introspection, wondering what kind of person he is, who he is, why he doesn’t seem to have any friends, etc. Why doesn’t he just ask someone? His sister, or maybe his boss. I get the impression that he’s going to sit around doing this through the entire book, and I don’t ca...
