Adolf: An Exile in Japan

Summary: Worthy of your reading time
Review: Admitedly, I've been reading the sequence of volumes in this series out of order. In fact, this was the first volume that I started with. With that being said, Tezuka's storytelling and plot pacing is compelling enough that I did not feel 'lost,' in this complex tale of WWII with it's assortment of characters and subplot. Within the first several pages I was more or less hooked into this epic tale on the racial origins of Adolf Hitler and the globe trotting antics of several parties to reveal and conceal the truth.

If you do decide to read this series, do it right the first time around and start with the first volume in the series: "Adolf: A Tale of the Twentieth Century."

Summary: Continuing the Adolf epic
Review: This is an excellent follow-up to ADOLF: A TALE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. If you enjoyed the first book, this is a superb addition.

The artwork is fantastic, and the story is great. Adolf Hitler's characterization is realistic and funny at the same time.

The only drawback is that not all of the three Adolfs featured in the first book are in this addition. However, that doesn't detract from the ongoing story.
