Product Description
They say your life begins on your wedding day. Here's what happened on mine: I lost the person that I love most. I learned that everything I knew about my family was a lie. Now I'm being hunted. I must fight back, or die. My life ended that day. The old Heaven is gone. I AM SAMURAI GIRL. By Stacey Frost "hitomi_womi" (Brum) - This book has all the things you'd want to read about: Fear, revenge, samurai (let's face it; they rock!), honour, loyalty, dishonour, and a healthy sprinkling of romance, humour and excitement. The characters are a well-developed group, who you find yourself desperate to know more about. Take Hiro, for example. He took on Heaven Kogo after her disastrous wedding day and trained her to become samurai, even though he barely knows the girl. A loveable yet slightly mysterious character. And Heaven herself is easy to identify with (aside from the attempt on her life and the samurai thing, of course). She's just an ordinary Japanese girl on her first trip to America, wanting to live her life like a movie. And who doesn't dream like that at some point when you're our age? Overall, this was a really enjoyable book, and the suspense left at the end ensures that you want to read on. Which I certainly do. A brilliant book.
