Another good Falco book

Fans of Lindsey Davis' Falco series should be happy with this one. The usual set of family and friends are involved. I like this series because I like the descriptions of ancient Rome. I spent t3 days there a couple of years ago. The books increased my enjoyment and the trip enhanced the reading. In these books as in most of my favorite mysteries the mystery is secondary to the characters and setting.

I enjoyed the second book, Father and Son, in the John Ray series. It was good to once again catch up with John Ray, Denise, Lanny Bride and the other characters from the first book.

John Ray sets out to find the connection between the murder of a journalist, his dad Tony Ray's old criminal associates. Many twits and turns leads to the revelation of their connection and why they were murdered.

 I enjoyed reading his book and would recommend it, as well as the first book, Hope Road.

I enjoyed comparing the book with the anime series based on it. It gives a lot of background to the well-known characters. I really hope to be able to read the whole series in English!

Background studies of a few of the characters in the Paksworld universe - interesting past and future history. I especially enjoyed the stories of Falk and Torre. If you haven't read the series through "Crown of Renewal", you may want to avoid the stories "A Parrion for Cooking" and "The Last Lesson."

Better than Falco! I got tired of his having to prove himself a jerk before he settled down to be his affectionate respectful ingenious self. Flavia Albia is real from the start. Steady, smart, brave, whimsical, humorous - I just wrote Ms. Lindsey to cheer her on. If only she could write them faster!

The author's brand of Aikido is the Tomiki style so know this up front. This is one of those books that I refer back to again and again.  It is well written and concise and I particularly enjoy the authors take on life.

I own the other books in this series and I love them all. This one is a little different in that it includes a lot of Amano's pencil work, which was nice to study. I would recommend this to anyone interested in FF or in Art in general. There is some really good reference art in this book.

This is a formative episode for Poke Rafferty, and really does set the future characters for the series. As with other Rafferty novels, I enjoyed this.

Very good introduction to Gichin Funakoshi's Shotokan Karate.  It's an introduction worth reading before Karate Do Kyohan.  Great if you're interested in traditional karate from a true karate do master.

I liked this episodic volume, as the individual stories referenced all sorts on anime in-jokes. There's a lengthy cosplay adventure, as well as a few  digs at the cosplayers themselves.

As with the previous book, you'll probably like some stories more than others, and that's part of the charm with an anthology title like this.

The last of the original Falco books.  It is a well written work and a good ending to the series.  You can clearly see that time has taken its toll on Falco and that life is changing for him.  I enjoyed it and I recommend it to anyone interested in historical detective (informer) stories.

This is the fourth in Simon Scarrow's series that I have purchased.  I am almost through with it.  I enjoy the progression of Macro and Cato's exploits in this series.  I just received the next book in the series and will begin that this weekend.

Another fun read by a master of the form. Witty, entertaining, clever, sweet, and hard to put down. Falco and Flavia never disappoint.

I like the descriptions of the various characters and the use of pidgin English.  The glossary is great too.
The book has some funny moments too.

Another good book to read about aikido and its concepts. Helps one get a mindset of the principles of aikido.

Watsuki may not have written the material for this arc, but that doesn't stop it from being good.
In this arc, Kenshin confronts a new opponent who somehow knows the Hiten Mitsurugi style and is using it to kill. After a dangerous situtation involving Misao and later on Chou (no further spoilers given here) its back to Kyoto, only to risk a battle thats been hundreds of year in the making.
A new cast of characters are introduced, as well as a deeply interesting storyline. Personalities of the main cast are kept intact and in character.

I think this arc is very in line with Watsuki's style, both in character development and in plot quality found in the previous RK series.

There aren't that many decent fillers out there, so don't pass up this arc.

It's a cute addition to the series. If you liked the others, you'll like this one too.
