Format: 180 gram LP There was an almost religious quality to the way John Lee Hooker saw himself as a musician: The way a preacher is a vessel for the Word of God, John Lee Hooker was a vessel for the blues. After running away from a life of back breaking labor in the cotton fields of Mississippi at the age of 14, Hooker drifted from town to town until he ended up in the booming city of Detroit, in the early 1940s. Although Detroit's blues scene was small compared to that of Chicago, it wasn't long until young John Lee from Mississippi was a big man on campus. The five tracks on side a were recorded in Detroit between 1949 and 1950 and feature stereo recordings of mainly solo performances by John Lee Hooker. The five tracks on Side B, also recorded in Detroit, are mono recordings primarily from 1954 and feature Hooker in a band format backed by tenor sax, piano and drums. Tracks - Side A: 1. Driftin' from Door to Door 2. She Left Me on My Bended Knee 3. Let Your Daddy Ride 4. Turn Over a New Leaf 5. Don't You Remember Me Side B: 1. Hug And Squeeze You 2. I Love You Baby 3. The Syndicate 4. Boogie Woogie All Night Long 5. Good Rockin' Mama.

Excellently done!
Format: Kindle
Welcome to the jungle! This is the first volume of “The Jungle Book.” Mowgli is a man-cub who is raised by a wolf pack in the jungle. Other stories included in this book is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Toomai of the elephants and the white seal. The stories were enjoyable to read. The artwork was perfect for the stories of the book. If you are expecting the story to be like the Disney movie — it’s not. There are some scary moments in the story. It’s a fascinating look of what life in the jungle could be like. Reading this manga story has made me want to go and read the original story. I have also become a fan of manga graphic novels . This is the first time that I have read one. This manga is very well done. I recommend it to everyone!

Superb Retelling of Classic Tales
Format: Paperback
The Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling and Chrystal S. Chan, is an illustrated Manga Classic book retelling seven different stories in a complete illustrated format. Six poems are interspersed among the stories, providing a sing-song character feel while helping to clarify the culture being illustrated. The stories target younger readers who enjoy action and adventure. Since this is a Manga book and is read differently than others types of books, a brief but detailed explanation is provided as well.
I found the artwork to be superb, from the human characters to the animals. The detail that accompanied the characters is well drawn and easy to understand. It is obvious the artist has years of art experience, being able to create this type of book with the detail you see. Stories such as The Jungle Book are based on much longer books, and these graphic novels must present the right words (and the right amount) to move the story along to let the reader experience the story to its fullest, and this book certainly did not disappoint.
This book was a quick and thoroughly enjoyable read, and hard to put down. With each new story came a set of exciting new characters, adventures and background history of its people. You see a culture that may contrast sharply with the one you’ve grown up with, and it goes far it describing the various castes in this society. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Manga comics, especially for those who embrace adventure.

I love this series and have read them all
Format: Paperback
I was so thrilled when I saw a new Manga Classics was out! I love this series and have read them all. Jungle Book excited me as 1) I've read the original and 2) these are short stories, something the series has not done before. The art is just as magnificent as on previous volumes and the author notes on adapting the original at the back are as illuminating as ever. This series stay as close to the originals as possible only adding artistic license where necessary to adapting a printed word novel to an illustrated manga format. The Jungle Book succeeds and presents a well-told version of the original seven stories: 4 featuring Mowgli and three others. The Mowgli stories aren't exactly chronological but they flow nicely told together and of the three stand-alone stories Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is my favourite as it is in the original. Be warned though that this (and others in the series) are sourced from the original material, not anything like its Disney counterpart. I don't think the short story format works as well in manga as it does in text so this is not my favourite of all the books (Great Expectations and Scarlet Letter probably are) but this is well done, nevertheless, and will encourage readers to pick up Kipling's classic if they have not already.

Great work but missing an important character.
Format: Paperback
I bought this and another manga classic from Barnes&Noble and as I've read through the two, which are extremely good. I've noticed that in this one, it's missing one character Tabaqui the jackal , Shere Khan's lackey. It's just that I've read the the jungle book and in the beginning of Mowgli's Brothers Tabaqui informs the wolf family after praising them for their generous offer of scrap food that his master Shere Khan has entered their Territory and is on the hunt for man. But in this interpretation of the manga classic there's no Tabaqui the jackal. Weird isn't it. But aside from it . It's an amazing work of art. Hopefully in the future the people who worked very hard on this will make it more accurate to the story itself as well any and all future manga classic interpretations.

Well done classic
Format: Paperback
A very well-done Manga book. The artist captures the feel of these books and retells the classic Rudyard Kipling story in an eye-catching way.
Recommended for young readers and as a classroom or library resource.
