Narrative Toward Books Brave Story
Young Wataru Mitani's life is a mess. His family has problems they never told him about, a new student at school upsets everything he knows about the world, and a girl's voice rings in his mind all hours of the night. Desperately he searches for some way to change his life; a way to alter his fate. To achieve his goal, he must navigate the magical world of Vision, a land filled with creatures both fierce and friendly. And to complicate matters, he must outwit a merciless rival from the real world. Wataru's ultimate destination is the Tower of Destiny where a Goddess of fate awaits. Only when he has finished his journey and collected five elusive gemstones will he possess the Demon's Bane; the key that will unlock his future. Charity, bravery, faith, grace and the power of darkness and light: these are the provinces of each gemstone. Brought together, they have the immeasurable power to change Wataru's life.Rating Regarding Books Brave Story

WAAH! what an epic book. I loved it till the last word of it, although I must admit that there were several unnecessary details. But the book was definitely worth my time. Miyuki Miyabe has the most amazing imagination. I really admire her. She did a great job in attaching Wataru and Mitsuru together. They had a very unique strange friendship that made me wish I had the same twisted relationship with someone. The book was filed with descriptions and some unwanted details but all to make theThis is a portal fantasy.The part of the book before he goes through the portal; the part about his normal, horrible life: Awesome - 5 stars!!!After he goes through the portal: Mind-numbingly boring derivative D&D garbage - 0 stars
Besides having to hide at my desk to read this at lunch hour (people were constantly asking me 'how long's it take you to read a book like that??), I really like it. I'm a big fan of japanese literature in general but this was my first taste of fantasy. Usually I can only get mysteries. Miyabe is an accomplished mystery writer which is probably why she managed to get this one marketed in the US. I'm so glad she did! I'll be honest, if you don't spend hours glued to Final Fantasy you're going to
for me this story reverses the general American approach to young adult books. There, usually a large, complex, adult problem is simplified so that extraordinary youths can conquer it without giving into the world around them. Here large, complex, adult problems are left that way and we follow an ordinary youth through a fantastic journey to just come to grips with the enormity of life and it's struggles. I was entranced by this tale of the breaking of ignorance and innocence. Of growing up and
I remember as a child watching cartoon movies on HBO and Showtime, movies like Nausicaa, which fascinated me, as they were nothing like any of the cartoons you saw on television at the time. Characters with emotional depth, with real feelings. And sometimes the characters died, which is something you don't see on American cartoons. Cobra Commander might have been an evil mastermind, but he couldn't shoot the broad side of a barn. And no Transformer ever got killed until the movie, which sent
I almost didn't buy this book. I'm not even sure why I brought this book. Maybe it's the cover; I don't know.Brave Story tells the interior and exterior of a young boy's struggle to deal with his changing family situation. There are similarities, as another review pointed out, to The Neverending Story, but the allergory between the magical world and inner self of the boy is more obivious.The characters are well drawn and while the main character is a boy, there are several strong female
waaaahhhh, that was a long book indeed, as an anime fan this book was nonetheless one printed to words, it has all the classic elements of an anime, yet I was not bored for a second even with this huge number of pages. the story talks about Wataru and it begins slowly building up the circumstances that will lead him to be chosen as traveler in an imaginary world, meeting new friends and foes and fighting his way to change his destiny. it is very intriguing, character are lovely,and events are
