A Wind Named Amnesia / Invader Summer Paperback – June 17, 2009

i personally love this book i usually dont like apocalyptic stories but this was great lots of intresting things in this book.

Edit: This is ONLY for A Wind Named AmnesiaI REALLY wanted to like this book. I read the first chapter while I stood in a store, and waited a few months until I could purchase it.The premise was really fascinating, and most of the storyline was great. However, a lot of the dialogue was pretty terrible, and I assume that mostly had to do with translation (I could mostly forgive it). It was also very sexist and that was super annoying. There were obviously weaker characters (just like in real life) but I hate when an author can't see men & women as both having the capacity to be strong.I almost gave it one star, but the premise hooked me and the storyline carried on just enough that I wanted to know what happened to the characters. I also waited so long to purchase it that I wanted my money's worth. I wouldn't recommend it.

One of my all time favorite fiction novels. Especially the second story, Invader Summer.

Great stories really! Very poetic, especally Invader Summer. It is great to see some of Kikuchi's earlier works. Not as good as his work with Vampire Hunter D, but still excellent sci-fi reads! And wonderful translation work.
