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.

Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter #1)

  By: Nalini Singh Release Date: March 3rd 2009 Publisher: Berkley Sensation Series: Guild Hunter #1 Rating:   1 out 5 Elena Deveraux doesn’t consider herself a vampire hunter. Hired by a dangerous Archangel Raphael, a being so lethal that she fears for her life. Only one thing is clear—failure is not an option… even if the task is impossible. Given the task of hunting, a rogue angel has gone bad. The job will put Elena in great danger. Even if the hunt doesn’t destroy her, succumbing to Raphael’s seductive touch just may. For when archangels play, mortals break… This is some of the worst writing I’ve read in a long time. There was no depth, no finesse, and it was completely lacking in subtlety. The plot revolves around a vampire hunter named Elena being hired by an angel because she is the very best there is, however she’s hired to hunt an angel who has lost it and not a vampire. The angel is on a violent spree that she, and somehow the archangel who hired her, has to ...

Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles #1)

  By:   Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl Release Date:   September 14th 2010 (first published December 1st 2009) Publisher:   VintageLittle, Brown Books for Young Readers Series:   Caster Chronicles Rating:   1 out 5   Ethan White is counting down the month until he can escape from Gatlin, South Caroline. During the count-down, he is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When new girl Lena Duchannes, niece of the town shut-in move into town. Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. Would their love story end in happier ever after or deadly ever after. This is a rewrite of the review that I wrote, many months ago. I was not very happy on what I have wrote. So I never post it until now. My thought on Beautiful creature is not very positive. The story follows some old dead beat formula: a paranormal/human pairing, uncovering of the ‘mysterious’ partner’s true nature, teens drawn to each other f...
