Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Grade 6 Up-Six-month-old Heaven survived a plane crash that killed her parents and was adopted by the affluent Kogo family. The now 19-year-old is forced to marry sleazy Teddy Yukemara, the son of a wealthy businessman with whom Heaven's mafioso dad is involved. When a ninja crashes her wedding, she sees her dad stand by and watch while her brother is brutally murdered. Convinced that she can no longer trust her family, she flees the wedding, her parents, and her posh lifestyle to learn the ways of the samurai and eventually avenge her brother's death. Action, romance, and intrigue are all neatly woven into this cinematic and sarcastic first installment in a new series. These characters are three-dimensional, and Asai's sense of atmosphere effectively captures the sights, smells, and energy of Los Angeles. In fact, the author cleverly surrounds her American-culture and film-obsessed heroine with enough mystery, passion, and fight sequences to rival any Hollywood action blockbuster. A step above the usual action/adventure series book, Sword is great for all audiences, but especially reluctant readers.

Samurai Girl The Book of the Sword is the first of six books about Heaven Kogo and her life.
Samurai Girl The Book of the Sword is the first of six books about Heaven Kogo and her life.
You read the story from her point of view. For understanding the story you also have newspaper articles and diary entries. When you started reading you can't stop untill you finished the book. I think the story is a little bit too short for being one book but there are more than 200 pages...It only seemed to be short! Now after I read the book I don't understand the whole story because some secrets aren't solved. You don't even know what her father's business is and if the ninja is behind her and why.
I ordered the other five books and I'm really looking forward to reading the other books as soon as possible.
The books of Samurai Girl are:
Vol.1 The book of the Sword
Vol.2 The book of the Shadow
Vol.3 The book of the Pearl
Vol.4 The book of the Wind
Vol.5 The book of the Flame
Vol.6 The book of the Heart

I loved it!
11. September 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I picked this book up yesterday at a bookstore while I was there getting another book. I didn't know what to expect, but from the back it sounded iteresting, so I decided to give it a shot. I have not regretted that for a second. In fact, I want to run out right now and buy the other 2 books in the series. (but I won't, this second anyway)
I totally love the authors style of writing. The book just seems so honest. You get to read everything the girl is thinking, and it makes you get into the book like you are the girl. I also like the little diary entries at the end of most chapters, it lets you understand all of the characters.
I will admit, this book is not for everyone, especially the younger readers. The book does have a few 'profane' words, and some sexual innuendo, but its not that big of a deal. Anyone who really wants or can understand what this book is about will not mind, or their parents won't mind the few parts of it. I would say if you are into romance/action/adventure thing and are High School age, you should check out this book.

The first book in a good new teen series.
10. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
Nineteen-year-old Heaven is famous throughout Japan -- she was the miracle baby, sole survivor of a fiery plane crash when she was just six months old. When no one stepped forward to claim her, she was adopted by the wealthy Kogo family and since then has lived a sheltered, pampered life on their estate near Toyko. But now she is to married off to Teddy Yukemura, the son of her father's business rival. Heaven desperately wants to avoid marrying Teddy, but fears she will have to go through. But her wedding is crashed by a mysterious ninja -- and Heaven's beloved brother dies to save her. She flees, and finds herself lost and alone in America. The only thing she can do is seek out her brother's best friend -- and persuade him to train her as a samurai so she can avenge her brother's death and find out the truth about her father. This is the first book in a new teen adventure series that looks like it will be great. I highly recommend it to teenage girls who enjoy adventures with strong female characters.

The New Series That'll Have You Hooked By Chapter Two...
27. September 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
So, the summer began and I found myself in a state of bordom. Having done all my required summer reading, I decided to stop by the book store. Looking through the aisles nothing really caught my attention until I landed in the Young Adult section. Skimming through the selves, I soon find myself face to face with this book. I debated with myself for awhile and finally ended up buying it. While looking for a escape from my boredom, I had stumbled upon a excellent book. I was hooked after the first chapter. I finished it in about 2 and half hours. And had the second book in my hands by the next afternoon. This book has everything love, lost, sacrifice, romance, action, failure, triumph, drama, among many other things. I would recommend this book to anyone. And if your debating on whether or not you should buy this book, stop, and BUY IT!!.....You won't regret it!!!...I promise!!...
