Great Dragonball Artbook!
For those that don't know, this is a huge manga artbook that contains hundreds of drawings from the manga "Dragon Ball"(split into two parts Dragonball and Dragonball Z by Viz in America). This book is a great value because it has accurate translations and unedited drawings,the way Toriyama intended it to be. I would like to thank Viz for doing a great job with this release, and I hope they ...

Red Ribbon
Not a book to start your Dragonball reading. As Goku continues to look for his Grandfather's ball, he continues to upset the Red Ribbon army. The Saga starts to drag during this book, but stays interesting. Viz made some small changes to General Blue's dialog, the original Japanese version hinted that he was a pedophile, but was taken out for the US market.

All about General Blue
Not a book for first time reads. The race for the Dragonballs against General Blue continues. The story starts to drag once again, nothing to bad. One chapter is a little confusing unless you have basic knowledge of Toriyama's other work Dr. Slump. Once again General Blue's dialog has been changed for the US market.

The first tournament
This is not a book if you want to get into Dragonball. But those who have at least read the last book will enjoy this one greatly. The tournament has start and continues on in this book. It's a look of page turning action, a real pay off from the development of the last book. Just plan fun.
