Improving some characters, continuing the saga
At this point the manga has separated itself completely from the storyline of the anime, but it's all for the better. The manga has more story to tell, and the author and illustrators are giving all kinds of mysteries and excitement for the readers. I'm not going to give away the mysteries to anyone who hasn't read the manga, or seen the anime (although, as I said, they have gone in completely ...

SCAR IS COMING TO TOWN
Ed and Al return to the Eastern Front HQ to report to their superior, Colonel Mustang, who hooks them up with Shou Tucker, the "Sewing-Life" Alchemist who is researching bio-alchemy and who has the ability to create "chimeras", life-forms that are a blend of two genetically different organisms. Hopefully, he will give Ed a clue as to how to restore his and Al's bodies. Ed is going to be a little ...

I forgot I was driving a 5-hour trip!
This purchase was an impulse buy from a bookstore before I drove 5-1/2 hours to Houston. The CD came highly recommended by the clerk selling me some books. I thought, why not, I love Jeremy Irons' voice. This CD was indeed the best audio book I've ever heard and I've listened to almost 30. I had just recently finished "His Excellency" about George Washington, which is very long (13 cd's) and ...

the best yet
I feel that vol 15 is really the best that has come out of Arakawa yet. We know everybody so well by now that the story really packs a major punch. And I'm excited for the next one (hurry up with it!).

Can it get any better?
After action-packed volume 10, can Fullmetal Alchemist get any better? The answer is yes. Volume 11, while not as edge-of-your-seat exciting as volume 10, is still gripping and delivers a lot of punch. Ed goes to visit his mom's grave, only to find his dad there. Hohenheim left the family many years ago, and Ed hates his guts. When Hohenheim finds out that Ed and Al tried to resurrect ...

An Excellent Continuation
The 10th installment in the Fullmetal Alchemist series certainly does not disappoint. It starts off with an intense battle that picks up where the last installment left off. It was quite a shock to see a novel start off with this much action, and it was indeed refreshing, when compared to the sometimes, slower-paced segments of the series. The fire that this novel starts with doesn't dwindle down ...

Great Manga, acceptable translation
This volume is enjoyable for any fan of FMA, since it contains scenes with practically all of the characters sans Major Armstrong. The five stars is for Arakawa's writings and drawings, which are superb in this consistently excellent series. The translation, however, is not perfect. From time to time it seems a little rough, perhaps going for a literal translation when an intent-based translation ...

The book left me in aww
This book has had an amazing impact on my life. I'm at a place where I'm searching for my purpose in life (Personal Legend if you will :)) and I have been reading self-help book after self-help book. I love The Secret, was even on Oprah for the follow up show. What makes this book so refreshing is the story. It takes you away from the typical self-help-how-to book and speaks in this beautiful ...

Beyond the Dream
After all the action and drama of volume 15, 16 feels like a calm in between storms. For the most part the first half concerns the main characters (of which there are quite a few by now) re-evaluating their goals and deciding where to go next. The second half has more action, including a standoff between Scar and Kimblee on a moving train. We are also introduced Major General Oliver Mira ...

another great volume
Here's another great volume in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series. We meet the father of the homonculi (who looks just like the Elrics father), we see the rebirth of Greed through Lin. The conspiracy thickens and the alchemists are trapped into serving Bradley. I can't wait for the next one.

Fullmetal 9-Another Great Addition
This latest installment in the Fullmetal Alchemist series is no different from its formers. Ed and Al face the death of their friend Maes Hughes hanging over their heads, and now the death of Maria Ross as well. Winry stands with them through it, but she is suffering as well. While Barry the Chopper gets loose trying to kill his human body, Riza and the others close to Roy are facing the ...

Action heats up as both sides begin to consolidate their assets
Book 2A or 3 (depending on how you want to count the books) begins on the pastoral planet of Norfolk and ends on an asteroid in the Dorados called Ayacucho. I felt this extreme contrast shows how the people of the Confederation's innocence has been stripped away by the discovery of the possessed, life after death in a seemingly endless purgatory - so many ideals stripped down to the bare bones, ...

More characters and mystery.
This is probably the best installment to date. It adds more characters but tells us little about them, only adding to the evergrowing shroud of mystery that surrounds the Elric brothers. King Bradley, leader of the military, has revealed himself as a homunclus working for a mysterious "father" whose true identity is yet to be unveiled. A small girl named Mei, and a prince named Lin, both hail ...

DO YOU HAVE THE TIME?...UH, WHERE'S MY WATCH!!??
Volume 5 of Fullmetal Alchemist takes a rest from the Philospher's Stone battles with Homunculi and serious angst of previous volumes to lighten up a little. Ed and Al travel with Winry to Rush City, a boomtown of the boondocks of the country, which despite its isolation has become a mecca for auto-mail engineers. Of course, you know Winry is slavering from the mouth when she enters its ...

FLASHBACK CONTINUED
Ed and Al's flashback to how they were trained in alchemy by Izumi Curtis continues as they try to survive for a month on a deserted island with no conveniences and no food except what they can hunt for themselves. They also have an unwanted companion, a masked strongman with a wooden club who beats the snot out of them and steals their food whenever he gets the chance! And don't forget that this ...

When he goes to South HQ he is really surprised to find the supreme commander, the Fuhrer himself, who rubber stamps his test. When Ed gets back, he's not going to be happy, because in his absence, Al has ...

A great continuation to a great series
Volume 3 of Fullmetal Alchemist is absolutely wonderful. This addition finally brings in some characters from the Elric brothers' past, as well as enlightens the reader as to some of the horrors of their past. The state alchemist serial killer from volume 2 is still on the loose, so the brothers are accompanied at all times by body guards. Those of you who have read 1 and 2, or are at all ...
