Summary: Worth your look!!!
Review: I read the reviews on the video and decided to rent the movie before I came to a decision to purchase it. I'm glad I rented as opposed to buying it. The DVD version was excellent when it came to production, but really lacking when it came to the heart of the matter, a plot.

This book is far superior to the movie. In the beginning, the story places you somewhere in the middle of a story and to other parts unknown. This makes for difficult reading, but the further you read the more the scattered events come together. The story keeps you wondering what the heck's going on and compels you to read on.

The artwork is very good and take note, not for the younger crowd due to it graphic violence and nudity.

If you enjoy manga of a different sort, then I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, if not better than the anime.
Review: I read this an was shocked at how good it was. I am an owner of the DVD and heard a book was in the works. I was very happy to hear this. I was even more happy when I read it. It is a work of art with an amazing style. It's extremely graphic in many ways. For one, the violence is extreme, and two, there is a lot of nudity and a part in the book with graphic sexual images. But those are not reasons to hate this. I reccommend it if you are not bothered by sex or violence, other wise I would suggest backing away.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Full of gore, but great!
Review: I've heard of the DVD and I checked it out, but I didn't buy it, even though I was dying to get it! Right in the beginning, it takes you into the book and fills you with confusion. But later on, it all comes together and satisfy your taste, but also leave you confused, wondering and wanting for more. :) It has some nudity, well...a lot...kinda, and one part of sexual humor. It also has some language. If you are one of those people like me, who don't mind those stuff, then you will LOVE this book!

Summary: Full of gore, but great!
Review: I've heard of the DVD and I checked it out, but I didn't buy it, even though I was dying to get it! Well, one day in a book store, my eyes came across this book, and I immediantly took it from the shelf. I sat down and read the whole book in the matter of minutes. Right in the beginning, it takes you into the book and fills you with confusion. But later on, it all comes together and satisfy your taste, but also leave you confused, wondering and wanting for more. :) It has some nudity, well...a lot...kinda, and one part of sexual humor.

Summary: Powerful and bitter
Review: Not for kids, Tamaoki's graphic novel is sexually explicit, very violent, and tragic all at once. It's drawn in Tamaoki's trademark realist style, edgy, gritty, and very unpretty. But then Saya, the anti-heroine, lives in a nasty world, and the ogres she is hunting down are even nastier than the Americans who have bred her as a ogre-hunter.

A note -- Japan doesn't really have vampires, those Transylvanian relatives of Count Dracula who want to drink your blood. Saya's enemies are flesh-eating monsters, cannibals and ogres. I thought the ending was about as perfect as it could be -- bitter and yet thoroughly satisfying.

If you like gothic horror and noir, or better yet, Japanese horror manga, you'll find Blood top-notch. But be warned -- it's not a nice story. Powerful and elegantly drawn, but not nice.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Sequal in only a sense
Review: Ok, This is supposedly the sequel to the stunning hit anime. Unlike the movie, this book was terrible. I remember nothing in the origional anime about lesbians, yet that is the main theme for the novel. Ther is also some plot that is totally confusing, but I attribute that to a terrible english translation. Instead of buying this, get a good graphic novel instead, or just watch the anime again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was pretty good.
Review: When i got this book it was not what i had expected. it was pretty good as far as the story-line but it was quite graphic in well.....pretty much everything! but otherwises it was really good. i love vampire stories, so this was exciting as well as grusomely entertaining. if you are looking for a book that contains lotz of blood n' gore be sure to get this comic.

(i didn't really get the ending though..)
