Customer Reviews

Keeps getting better...

If you liked the first one, you'll like this one. Its simply a progression in the story. Things get more interesting and a little more in depth as our hero and his parasyte go through their day-to-day life. this one has more action than the first one.

I'm getting 3 and 4 right now!!

Oh my lord..... I really don't want to spoil even the premise, so please, if you are a fan of horror/sci-fi/philosophy/action, just order book 1 of this series and give this interesting, wondrous, unique series a try!! Don't even read the back! lol

Great read

This book was a very good read. Although usually I talk about the condition of the book on recieving it, but there really isn't anything of that category to talk about. It came in fine condition and it was really great. Reading the first book does make a difference, though.

The Parasyte saga continues

"Parasyte," Book 2, by Hitosi Iwaaki, continues the story begun in book 1. Once again our principal characters are a young man named Shin and "Lefty," the intelligent, shapeshifting, parasitic life form that has taken the place of Shin's left arm.Like book 1, this graphic novel is an effective blend of science fiction, horror, and human drama. The parasyte plague continues, and takes a horrifying turn for Shin. The Shin/Lefty relationship is more deeply explored, and takes a truly startling twist. We learn more about parasyte biology and the parasyte/host relationship in general, but the underlying mystery that undergirded book 1 remains. The visual style remains potent. If you loved book 1, I highly recommend this well-written continuation.

Perfect for everyone

If you're blood thirsty or like sci-fi or like romance or a good story line. this book has it
