Book review: Kindaichi Casefiles (Vol 17) The Undying Butterflies

May 15, 2008 20:51


A little aside before I jump into my review.  You know you are looking forward to a book when you get it and you start to treat it like Golem treated the Ring in The Lord of the Rings.  Now onto The Undying Butterflies:

I enjoyed this volume quite a lot.  I found it a bit edgier than the previous one because of the way the murders happened and who was murdered.  They struck me more than the people who died in the previous volume, I didn't care for them but I like the people who died in this story.  But, more than that, there is a direct tie back to The Legend of Lake Hiren (Vol 6).  It had me digging out my copy to look.  I was going O_o.  And the conclusion makes me think a bit of a soap opera.  ^_^

And I'm a sucker for butterflies.  What can I say?  ^^

manga, books
