Good but not as good as Vol 1.

I have used the Vol 1 of Julia's book multiple times but don't find this second volume to be as useful.  Still, she does have some excellent tips and recipes that I've yet to use so maybe in time it will grow on me.  Volume 1 is still the best.

In this volume, we mainly see Naoto as she follows Heine and Badou in an attempt to gather information about the person that killed her family and almost killed her. With the three of them together, the story is more focused, but it's not exactly linear. I wouldn't say it was confusing, but there are some odd random jumps back in the story. It can be a little jarring at times.

While the story progresses well in this volume, I felt that the art and action weren't as impressive as the previous two. To me the action scenes in Volume 0 and 1 were nothing short of art, very clear and unique. They felt a little messy in this volume. Still beautifully done in comparison to most series, just not up to the level I'd gotten used to in the other volumes.

All in all, still a great read. I'm looking forward to the next release!

Overall I still like this series a lot.  But the translation does not seem fully suited to the lighthearted nature of the work, and the quality of the art seems to be slightly degraded compared to the past 5 volumes.  Too many frames look like they were rushed leading to a very inconsistent feel that seems to pop in and out of the straight style the artist normally uses.  These are just minor things, not enough to keep me from buying it, but worth pointing out in a review nonetheless.

I found this volume much better than volume 1. I think this part of RAH's life was much more interesting. Patterson also gives us a better insight into RAH's character in this volume. The first vol. seemed buried in minutiae. This one let's us see the man more clearly. This may be because this portion of the subject's life was more interesting because of the status in the literary world he had achieved.

This volume was pretty good. It was a slight let down after reading the first two, but still fun. It was captivating enough that I want to read the next volume when it comes out. The story could have moved a little quicker in spots than it did. Sections did feel like they were dragging a little bit. Overall a good read.

Didn't realize that this volume had episodes I already had in Vol. 1. But that was my error. Otherwise it was fine.

Much thinner card stock than Vol 1 and the tuck box is really kinda lame. I had gotten the hard case kit of vol 1, so I just house my vol 2 in the kit.

Nice album, but liked the first 2 better.  It's good, but just not as good as the first ones.  Will look forward to the next one.

This didn't go as in depth as I was would have liked. They fast forwarded their relationship too much. Volume 1 was much better.

I have greatly enjoyed the first two Volumes of Mark Waid's run on Daredevil. However, this volume seems to be more of a transition than a dynamic continuation. The intrigue and fun that existed at the start of Waid's series is derailed at times, and doesn't flow nearly as well as it did. While I expect more will happen in Volume 4, this is very much an "in-between" installment.

I'm a huge Michael Feinstein fan, with a sizeable collection of his albums, including The Sinatra Project Vol. I, which I thought was awesome.

As expected, I had high expectations for Vol. II, but sadly, it doesn't quite match, never mind outdo, its predecessor.

Might be a combination of factors, including song choices and vocal delivery. While this CD features many more pieces I'm familiar with compared to the Vol. I list, I just felt that something was lacking. And a few of the slower songs suffered from forced huskiness in Michael's tone. Could be the wrong register for him, or he may be developing a new performance habit. Either way, please stop!

That said, I give this 3.5 stars, and really enjoy the big band tracks which are beautifully arranged ( and on which Michael sings normally ). The ballads, however, don't appeal to me as much - definitely prefer his earlier work from Isn't It Romantic and The MGM Album.

I love Gentri but some of these songs were a bit louder than the first album. I didn't  care for it as much as the first.

I was not clubbing at the time these songs made their grade, so I do not have a context to put them against, but when I heard Back to Love Volume 1, it made my heart race, my face smile, and my feet move - over and over.  So it was with much anticipation that I went out and bought Vol II the day it was released.  Upon further listening, I have come to appreciate it, but it does not have the sparkle, charm, or magic of Vol I.  These songs just do not seem to be composed as well as the ones on the previous album.  BTW, I am a big fan of Hed Kandi and Mark Doyle (Deeper!, Serve Chilled!, Beach House!!), but am not a big fan of the other Disco Kandi series.  So if you like the Disco Kandi series, you may like this album (Back to Love II).

Ho-Hum, I enjoyed vol. 1 more. I just wanted this one for the 1st STREET FIGHTER. Even though it's fairly pathetic in terms of graphics & gameplay compared to any of the SF2 series. I just don't understand why capcom didn't just put SF1 in SF: Anniversary collection as an unlockable. But anyway all the other games were pretty good to see and play again, at least there's a lot of 'em and thats always a good thing.

Just does not compete with the previous vol. Lacked the hair raising suspense and action the author can produce. But without the comparisons,  still a great series and book.

I really love this series so far, and I liked this volume, but I don't think it's as good as the other four. The events that take place in this volume are generally even sillier than usual, although not necessarily as funny as some of the scenes in other volumes (for example, the haunted house and the drawing contest).

There is, however, a small development in Sato and Yoshida's relationship--it's hinted that they might take their physical relationship to the next level soon.

I was disappointed that we didn't see Torachin and Yamanaka in this volume, so I hope they'll be in the next one.

As far as other supporting characters, the Nozawa twins were in this one, and I like seeing them. (I like how they stand out from the other students.)

If you're really enjoying the series, you'll probably enjoy this one. I do enjoy every exchange between the main characters, so I was happy with it, but I hope the next one picks up a bit (and includes Torachin and Yamanaka).

Being the first volume, I thought it would have more songs in it.  The other volumes have more songs and are less pricey.  Granted, I got this after this volume was no longer printed, so I paid more to get it.  Good songs even if fewer than other volumes.
