One Big Flashback

+ Aren't flashbacks great?
+ FLASHBACK CONTINUED

But isn't it a nice flashback? This volume gives a lot of clarification on some plot points, you get to see Little!Ed and Little!Al, and you even get into some philosophy. Definitely worth reading, I ate right through it.

A great continuation to a great series

+ good book
+ The best one yet

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 ...

More characters and mystery.

+ Flawed Release of a Good Story
+ VISITORS FROM XING

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" ...

Perfect Ending

+ Interesting conclusion to a fascinating trilogy.
+ A Great and Sad Beauty

I love this series and the last book is no exception. It is quite long but I was glad for the extra pages as I wanted to spend as much time as possible in this fictitious world. I am a sucker for happy endings so I was upset to hear that perhaps this wasn't going to be a fairy tale ending. I ...

Great Manga, acceptable translation

+ Favorite Volume Thus Far
+ Big ugly battle time!

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 ...

Can it get any better?

+ Ah, Hohenheim, we knew you'd be back.
+ WELCOME HOME DAD

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 ...

More Plath/Hughes exploitation

+ A testimony to the ongoing power of the poem.
+ Our own Sylvia.

"Your Own, Sylvia: A Verse Portrait of Sylvia Plath", is a book that should not have been written or published. The poetry itself is lame and lackluster, and doesn't do the subject any credit at all. Also, as a fan of Plath myself, I feel Plath, as well as her late husband, have been exploited in ...

+ Go Ask Alice

There seem to be a lot of reviews written for this book bashing it. We get it...you're angry that this is a work of fiction and isn't, in all actuality, a true, bona fide account. Unfortunately for you, you will find that most books contain fiction. Yes the book says that teenagers shouldn't do ...
