Customer Review for this product :
Almost but Not Quite -
This book has a lot of promise but essentially misses the boat from Japan. On the positive side there are several articles devoted to information about Inuyasha, Kagome, and Miroku, their possessions and abilities, and various Japanese words/meanings. The antagonists of the series are limited to Sesshomaru, Kikyo, and Naraku. On the negative side the book excludes at least half of the other characters prominent in the series. For instance, do not look for information on Sango, Shippo, Myoga or any number of other "good" or "bad" characters (several of which are mentioned in the featured chapters). Other minor problems the book includes is the lack of a consistent perspective and a casual/formal writing style. The perspective does not remain consistent between "I" and "we" (Who these pronouns refer to is never explained) and whether or not this is supposed to be a serious examination of the subject or a gossipy tabloid is also never decided. So one is left wondering many questions - how many are writing this? Is it referencing the manga or the anime or both? What's the differences? Is any of this based on actual fact (e.g. there are no books or episodes directly listed as source material)? Is this book simply to profess the writer's own emotions or thoughts about the series' characters, items, events, or progression? Too much excluded information, misinformation, and what could only be considered personal views made this a disappointing purchase.
