BOOK REVIEW: GHOST IN THE SHELL BY ANDREW OSMOND

Ghost in the Shell
Author: Andrew Osmond
Publisher: Arrow Films
Pages: 124
ISBN: 978-0993306-02-0
Reviewed By: Sandra Scholes

Synopsis:
When I got this book through, I thought it was a book version of the movie, but now that I have studied its content, I found it to be much more. With a stunning cover illustration by Chris Malbon, Ghost in the Shell by Andrew Osmond is a breakdown of what made the manga so iconic and when the anime came out, what made fans tick as far as its interpretation was concerned. So when the live action movie was released, it also could achieve cult status among fans of both.

I never make an assumption based on a past manga-ka's work, but so far CLAMP have done well in convincing me that I should watch adaptations of their manga, whether it is anime or OVAs. Some may remember me reviewing Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion a couple of years back when it was the series I watched and reviewed, this time I had the opportunity to watch this one and was glad I took it.
