    Good book to read!
  

*by T***Z on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019*

In the book “ Samurai Rising ”, written by Pamela S. Turner, is a historical biography that takes place during and after the civil war; 1180 - 1185.  The most essential characters are not only the son; Yoshitsune. But as well his father; Yoshitomo, the leader of the Minamoto clan. His father was brutally killed by their rival clan known as the Taira. And like all would during this time, Kiyomori; part of the Taira, wanted to kill not only their father but all of his sons as well so he can know the fact that he will never be challenged by his opponent again. Although instead she sends them to a Buddhist temple to be brought up and raised again as peaceful monks. After being sent off he was raised again and throughout his time at the camp he tried to perfect the ways of being a warrior. After he was sent off to a monastery, which he there realized he did inherit his family’s ways of fighting and when he was able to escape and try to fight again did he exceed his challenge?I highly recommend this historical non fiction book to others, these book would be great for others who enjoy when the essential plot of a book is trying to overcome challenges and face their challenges. Pamela S. Turner is an amazing writer and she never forgets to add details within her books. In this book, I love the details she used about the way he grew up in the Buddhists Temple and as well in the Monastery. She as well used exceptional details during the wars, which is great for the reason that what the book is based on. Although she didn’t use a lot of dialogue in the book, which most readers like and it helps them understand more. Overally, I would recommend this book to my fellow peers.

    Enjoyable to read
  

*by L***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020*

I bought this book when I first noticed G.Hinds. I have a personal collection of several of his visually illustrated books includes Alan Poe, Odyssey and a few others. I enjoy reading his books so I decide to have a try for this one.  I started reading this book in a sunny afternoon, with a cup of coffee on the table.  I didn't give a high expectation of this book as others G.Hinds' books as he was solely responsible for the drawing part and the author is someone I didn't recognize, but my pre-conception was proven wrong when I open the first page of this book. I was drawn to her glamoured language of depicting fierce war screens and the conflict between his older brother and him. In her writings, Yoshitsune is no longer a fictionalized character living in the legend or other fairy tales, he is a man with a misery childhood, a brave general who dare to execute commands that no one can dare to imagine, and aloyal man to his big brother ending up with a tragedy.I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys JP literature and wants a better understanding of JP history and prominent figures in that period.

    Good book, but hard to keep all the characters ...
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2016*

Good book, but hard to keep all the characters straight as you begin reading.  The author added a list of characters at the beginning of the book and how they are related to each other( mainly the main character), but there are so many of them that unless you are use to the Japanese names, it is hard to keep them all straight.
