Great Book! .......2007-08-07
The last time I got excited about a book about Buddha/Zen Buddhism was the Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff and Thich Nhat Hhah books.
I learned how to read through comic books and I think this is a great series to learn about the life of Buddha. Simple, like Buddhism, and nicely drawn. Exciting and in the style of manga, it will keep both young adults and adults captured in a biography. This book is great for folks who want to learn about Buddha but who hate reading dry biographies.
Granted, the artist has a lot of creativity and this is NOT a historical book, but a story book. (there will be references to modern times like "NYC and LA", so pls. don't confuse this as a "historical" book)
I highly recommend it.
Herman Hesse Manga.......2007-07-07
Biographies of holy people are difficult things to write. A writer can choose to regurgitate the official story in the scriptures, but that approach has little hope of transcending the source material or adding anything new. If the author wants to use the hook of human foibles that makes stories of lesser beings so engaging, he or she runs the risk of angering church patriarchs--just ask Martin Scorsese. Besides, there may not be any human foibles in the religious texts to use, forcing the writer to fictionalize. Because the mythology of the prophet relies on that person's spiritual perfection, the stories often are dry, and unable to hold a mirror to the readers' own fears and desires. Inspiration comes at a stretch, and often fails to affect the modern reader at all. Contemporary audiences want their saints with flaws in order to better identify their own imperfect lives with those who were able to transcend this tired world, equipped with the same mind and spirit as the rest of us.
Some strains of Buddhism portray the historical Buddha as a being who descended to the realm of humans in order to teach us the way out of suffering, where others hold the Buddha to be a regular human who found his path through through meditation leading to enlightenment. This flexibility allows Osamu Tezuka the room to create his own vision of the life of the Gotama Buddha by chucking just about everything in the official story, and using the elements and settings of India circa 2500 BCE to tell the story of the spiritual life of a fortuitously born prince whose need to end human suffering leads to the founding of a world-changing religion.
Tezuka fills Siddhartha's world with bandits, greedy kings, evil offspring, cranky monks, and a steady stream of damsels that fall head over heels in love with the future Buddha, allowing him ample opportunity to demonstrate his saintly qualities of restraint and detachment from worldly pleasures. The Buddha's traditional straightforward story (protection from the world by his father, shock at the realization of suffering, and long struggle to achieve enlightenment) is filled out and expanded in multiple directions by Tezuka. He adds rival kingdoms, plagues, class warfare, and many characters with their own agenda for the young prince of the Gotamas. All this added material can come as a shock to the reader expecting a straight retelling of the Budaya (Buddha story), furthered by the shock of what is left out. There is no Maya here, tempting Siddhartha throughout the watches of the night. The Buddha's realization under the bodhi tree is a simple understanding of the interconnectedness of all living beings, which in the traditional story is only one small part of the Buddha's enlightenment. And the four encounters with sickness, old age, death and the mendicant that send the traditional prince of the Gotamas down his path are quickly wound up in one revelation by the god Brahma.
All this amounts to a story that is not actually of the historical Buddha, but another prince named Siddhartha who undergoes a similar spiritual journey towards his own enlightenment. This is not to say that the story does not have strong Buddhist elements. The trials and tribulations of the multitude of characters usually arise through their attachment and greed, while the solutions adhere to the Buddhist tenets of compassion for the suffering of others and detachment from the temporary pleasures of the world. The story is a Buddhist story, just not of the Buddha himself. Regardless of the changes, it is an enjoyable story, with a style and tone akin to old mantinee serials, with plenty of swashbuckling, love triangles, angry peasants, hostile kings, and humor low and high brow. Interwoven are the philosophical musings that present Tezuka's take on Buddhism and the spiritual path.
The style of the art and is a mix between wide-eyed manga and lush, detailed landscapes. Some of the hyper manga style clashes with the subject matter, as Tezuka frequently breaks the historical setting to reference modern places and inventions such as New York City, sports and movies. Characters talk, in translation from the original Japanese, in modern slang, and Tezuka himself sneaks into some panels as a walk-on character. It's worth noticing crowd scenes, as every face is completely different and demonstrates unique personalities. Characters also frequently dip into slapstick humor, bouncing around the frames and sometimes physically breaking them. While at first it is disconcerting to a reader expecting a serious biography of the Buddha, it is important to remember that manga is first and foremost an entertainment medium, and as the long series is digested book by book, the humor is important to keep the story moving along and audiences entertained. Also noteworthy is Vertical's translation and repackaging of the original Japanese books. This results in a "mirror-image" printing, so most of the characters are left-handed. Inspirational for southpaws.
None of the criticisms above should keep a reader away from a highly entertaining manga series. While not a precious literary interpretation of the Buddha story, Tezuka draws on the elements of the myth and the facts of the historical setting to create a populist philosophical work with a wide audience appeal. He balances a light touch of humor, insights into racism, power and greed, and the pursuit of a spiritual path that leads away from the failings of the world to something better.
More Than I Expected.......2007-06-11
This is a great introduction to graphic novels and Manga in particular. The pencil and ink artwork is fantastic and the story is very hard to put down.
Captivating--has turned me on to Tezuka and manga.......2007-05-26
I picked this up as an impulse buy at a local comic bookseller and within a week quickly devoured it and the other five available at the time in paperback...now I'm awaiting the seventh and eighth. They are truly addictive. Although I have very few works of manga, Buddha appeals to me on several levels:
I'm a big alternative comics fan;
I've been very interested in Buddhist spirituality;
I'm fascinated by ancient history;
I love finding books that transport me to another place and time;
The juxtaposition of comic and cosmic elements appeals to my whimsical nature.
It seems that some reviewers were put off by the cartoonish characters, strange juxtapositions, and flippant dialogue, but that seems to be part of the language of the medium--indeed, as I found later, Tezuka was a huge influence on the manga form. I find myself alternately amused and awed, and I was taken in by the able storytelling. Tezuka creates compelling characters and doesn't spare gory details of life in India in 6th century BC, which for me is more compelling. I'm anxiously waiting for the next volume to arrive in the mail, but I'll be sad when it's done--that's how my favorite books leave me feeling.
I would recommend this for anyone who shares any of my strange eclectic interests!
Bizzare, and disturbing.......2007-04-22
I have never read a manga comic book, so my viewpoint is clearly that of a newcomer to this genre. From this perspective, my summary message for "Buddha" is just what the title says: bizarre, and disturbing. While writing this review, I seriously debated reading the successive volumes and only then writing a consolidated viewpoint, but finally came to the conclusion that it made more sense to write one independently, for there are bound to be many others like me who pick this book up as the first manga of their life. So I would urge only such readers to go through the rest of this review: for experienced manga readers, there are many other reviews which will be of greater help.
In terms of the storyline, this book lays an interesting foundation for the birth of Siddhartha, telling many smaller stories of interesting philosophical import along the way. The story would have felt very incomplete of course if one did not know that there were 7 volumes succeeding this one, but with that knowledge, it is easy to accept this book as a one section in a larger canvas. The book creates some fascinating characters like the cocky and intractable Tatta, whose wrongdoings seem to easily forgivable in light of the purity of his heart, and his peculiar ability to become one with almost any animal. Other well fleshed out characters include a monk, a slave, and a general, and it is to the author's credit that he manages to portray the essence of each of these classes while still giving them strong individual personalities.
Where the book shocked me completely was its artwork, which is almost in a comic book tradition, with some people looking like the stereotype extra-terrestrials, and the experience of various emotions portrayed through extreme movements like characters flipping and jumping up and down. I found it extremely difficult to reconcile the overall seriousness of the book and the topic with these ludicrous movements. Taking this insensibility further were ideas like the cameo appearance by the author in the form of a doctor, and out-of-place comparisons by a merchant in a town in 3500 BC to modern-day New York or Paris.
The other key negative aspect of the book was some of the ideation and parts of the characterizations. I am not a prude by a long shot, and more importantly, I am an agnostic, so I can accept religious blasphemy very easily if it has a purpose. Even then, there was something very deprecatory and disturbing about some of the ideas and character portrayals in this book. As I said before, it might be due to my limited exposure to manga, but I don't think that should be an excuse. The first graphic novels I read in my life were great experiences, not frustrating ones. The first travelogues I read were fun, the first autobiographies were insightful, and so on and so forth.
In conclusion, I find it difficult to recommend this book at this point. I am going to read at least another volume of Buddha and give this genre a couple of more shots. Till then, I'll let you exercise your discretion on whether or not you want to try this series.

Customer Reviews:
Winter, Weather ,and the Iceman Cometh.......2007-09-23
Lucas finds himself at loose ends after being run out of the Minneapolis PD and is taking solace in the cold north woods of Wisconsin when he is called to assist the sheriff's department of Objibway county when a suspicious fire leads to murder and the discovery of a ring of perverts that had been operating in the county for some time. Facing off against a man who calls himself the Iceman, Lucas has to try to find out who is responsible before any more bodies pile up. And pile up they do in this fast-paced 5th book in the "Prey" series. We also are introduced to Weather Karkinnen, a surgeon who immediately steals Davenport's heart.
The Iceman is a pure sociopath - reading this book is often like a train wreck. You don't want to, but you are compelled to keep going as he continues to kill person after person for the most twisted reasons, where if he had left things alone . . . well, you just need to read the book. I love the "Prey" series - this is my second time reading through them. For any who enjoy a good thriller/police procedural/mystery/suspense novel - you can't miss with these.
Lucas Davenport chases a killer in the frozen wilderness.......2007-05-30
Arguably the best entry among the first five books in this series (though I still have a soft spot for the extreme creepiness and dramatic revelations of "Eyes of Prey"), Mr. Sandford's "Winter Prey" is nevertheless a bracing, knock-out read and inarguably at least the second best among the first five books. Though series protagonist Lucas Davenport is here in all his glory, this one is less concerned with what is going on in Lucas' often troubled life and just wants to give us a moody, bang-up thriller plot. And there's also a slight change in this installment's flavor and tone, which makes for some welcome variety: instead of urban tension, here we get snowstorms, icy temperatures, snowmobiles, and coyotes. But don't worry, you still get one of those nicely written Lucas Davenport romantic sublots, this time involving a tough yet fetching surgeon. And yes, you also get a memorable killer. Laced with intelligent details yet extremely fast paced, "Winter Prey" will not disappoint.
My Favorite Prey Novel.......2007-05-14
WINTER PREY, the fifth entry in the Lucas Davenport series, is the best of the seven Prey novels that I have read so far.
The plot is straightforward. Lucas Davenport is lured out of retirement to assist in a homicide investigation in a small Wisconsin town. A serial killer is a work, and Davenport has to find him before he strikes again. In the meantime, he develops a serious romantic relationship with a local doctor.
WINTER PREY is suspenseful and exciting. Unlike many of the Prey novels, the identity of the killer is concealed from the reader. So this novel is not just a thriller, but a whodunit (which increases the suspense). All the supporting characters are interesting and likable. I also enjoyed the romantic relationship in this book, which is very well developed.
This book is relatively graphic, and contains a high level of sex and violence. If you're easily disturbed by such content, you should skip this novel. Otherwise, I think you're in for a treat; WINTER PREY is a really entertaining book and I heartily recommend it.
Winter Prey.......2007-03-09
This is the first "Prey" book I read. It's a great read during the heat of summer as most of the story takes place during a blizzard in northern Wisconsin. I became hooked on Sandford with this book and would not miss reading any of his books. They are real thrillers!
Edge Of Your Seat Thrills and Chills.......2007-02-23
"Winter Prey" was a great edge of your seat mystery/thriller and the tone very much reminded me of those good old film noirs with Humphrey Bogart. Of course this is a much more modern tale. There was delicious suspense, heart pumping action with wild chases on snowmobiles,shoot outs, good guys to root for, and a villain(who from the beginning and most of the book we only know as "The Ice Man"), as bad and evil as they come. Author Sandford kept me involved and guessing every step of the way, and throws in some great surprises.
It is a blistery cold winter in a small woodsy town in Wisconsin. Everyone knows everyone, and are shocked and frightened to learn of a brutally horrible murder. The cops are questioning and gathering evidence, and it all points to one man. But no one will believe the suspect is guilty. Enter an out-of-town Detective to help with the case. Lucas Davenport knows his stuff. He is fearless and rugged and a reputation for getting his man..one way or another. Time is crucial, the killings have just begun, and all seem to revolve around a photograph that is the only solid clue. A woman Doctor could be the next victim and as Lucas tries his best to protect her while closing in, we also see another side to this tough guy, and the two grow closer, adding a layer of romance to this multi-faceted story as well.
The story would probably be considered R rated. It deals with some very sensitive subject matter(I don't want to give away too much), has quite a bit of violence and language as well. So may not be everyone's cup of tea.
There is a superb Unabridged audio edition with a chilling read by Richard Ferrone. Enter the ISBN of :0788702556 into search if interested.
I know there are other Lucas Davenport Mysteries, but this was my first, and now I am hooked and adding others to my cart.
Highly Recommended for those who love a great suspenseful tale....Enjoy....Laurie

Product Description
10 Audio CD discs. Ex-cop and master- gamesman Lucas Davenport takes on a crazed killer ravaging a small Wisconsin town. The killer, who calls himself ``the Iceman'' for his sang- froid, debuts in the creepy opening pages by stalking an isolated house, gunning down the woman inside, chopping up her husband, and torturing their daughter--all in a failed attempt to retrieve an incriminating photo that's fallen into the victims' hands. It's a gruesome start, but Sandford splatters the gore mostly off-page, relying on suspense--and there's plenty of it--to jangle readers' nerves. When the bodies are found, the local sheriff calls in Davenport to help. Arriving in town, Davenport, who's at loose ends in his life, finds himself facing two enemies: the Iceman, but also record cold and snow that's frozen the town into a death-trap. His investigation--which hinges on retrieving the photo before the Iceman does--stalls in the face of challenging puzzles centering on time-of-death and a seemingly reluctant witness, but it also butts him up against some marvelous characters, including a female M.D. with whom he falls eagerly in love. Meanwhile, the Iceman slays anyone who might know about the photo--which, it turns out, shows him having sex with a local boy, his first victim: The Iceman heads a child-porn ring. When Davenport--who's been revitalized by the case--at last recovers the photo, the Iceman's surprising identity is revealed, leading to a furious climactic chase on snowmobiles through dark woods and howling wind--and to Davenport and the Iceman each having a tte-...-tte with death.
