A Good Book for Young People

This is a good book for young people that would like to understand more about Buddhism. This is in a comic book format, so kids will really like it. The drawing style is animee. It reads like a comic book. If you are a parent, you should know that there are a few curse words that some parents may find innappropriate and that there is blood in some of the pictures. But it is no different than any other comic book that way. This is a very good book and I recomend it! In this particular book, Buddha gets older and starts to be in the part of his life when he dictates his teachings to deer. This is important because he considers all being deserve compassion, not just humans. If this is your first time with this series, definitely start w/ book #1 first. The series starts when he is a baby and continues throug his enlightenment. So you should read them in order. It is very good for kids to know different religions just so they know about them.
Some adults I know really like this book too. I loaned it to one of my teachers.

I wanted to give this book 4 and 1/2 stars, but I liked it a little more so I chose 5. The reason I chose 5 is because it has lots of action and it is very exciting.

I thought this volume starts to bring focus to the characters more. I'm starting to see how things are working out, as opposed to just being introduced to characters and situations.
To be honest though, I have found myself a little hesitent over the potrayal of The Buddha. I know that it is my own idea of what he must have been like. Once I open to it, the idea of a more human Buddha than I imagine, is refreshing.
This series continues to hold my interest over the past few years as it has been released and I'm a little sad that there will have to be an end to it someday. Oh well, that's impermanence for ya.
