Summary: Did Massey actually write this book?
Review: This book did not live up to the standards of the first 3 books in the series. In fact, it seemed to me that much of the dialogue was written by a non-native speaker of English. This might have been okay when the characters were supposed to be speaking a language other than their native one, but as it happened when they were supposedly conversing in their own tongue, it was very strange. The rest of the writing seemed thrown together as well, definitely not up to Massey's previous standards.

Summary: Still interesting
Review: this review is for all the people into anime, manga, and cosplay:
(read any of the other reviews for plot synopses...I don't need to reiterate any of that)what can I say? I love this Sujata Massey for writing this book! I have adored the Rei Shimura series since I first picked up Zen Attitude! I went back and found Salaryman's Wife, and then picked up Flower Master when it came out...and of course, I hunted like mad for Floating Girl when it came out. I didn't even bother to read the jacket because I knew I would love it no matter what. Well, Ms. Massey knocked me right out of my chair when I read it! She decided that she would cement herself as my favorite writer by writing about my most favorite subjects, Manga (Japanese comics) and Cosplay (costuming as japanese comic/cartoon/videogame characters)! As a cosplayer I was very disturbed by certain parts of the book, but I enjoyed that! it really brought me more into the story. Thank you, Sujata Massey! I can't wait to read the Bride's Kimono! I recommend Floating Girl to anyone who likes anime, manga, or cosplay. even if you aren't into mysteries that much, try this out! I am sure you will love it! You don't even have to have read her previous novels! tho, I do recommend those too ^_^ they are wonderful!
