Week 10

Foe this week i read phoenix volume 4 by Osamu Tezuk.
I will never understand how a baby lost an eye and an arm falling down a mountain. I hated the first part of this book a lot, i really didnt want to keep reading it. It was really gross and disgusting. The good parts were the sculptor even if he was probably a pedophile because he had to be over 14.  i didnt like that Gao became a sculptor or even that he got to live and the other guy died. overall i didnt think Gao deserved the arc he got, he wasnt someone who i though deserved the good things he got even if they ended up bad later, people shouldnt take pity on him and even if he was good at sculpting what he did in his past should have mattered and im glad his other arm gt cut off.
I liked the sculptors arc better, overcoming a disability without anger and murder is something Gao could have learned from. I really liked when he was looking for the pheonix and when he had his reincarnation dream.
Overall i liked the amount of buddhist imagry in the book but overall i didnt like the book. i didnt like 90% of the charcters and could only get into certain parts with the other sculpter.
i guess i like that it was two stories coming together as one later. but i probably wouldnt read any other books in the series if theyre all like this. its just not the type of stories i read or characters i like.
