Book Review: One Piece by Ben Abel

In Eiichiro Oda’s manga One Piece, as the Great Pirate Era dawns, Monkey D. Luffy sets out on an adventure to the Grand Line in order to find the treasure, the One Piece, left by Gold Roger, King of the Pirates. After eating a devil fruit that turns him into rubber, he begins his epic quest to find crewmates including a skilled swordsman, a thieving navigator, a cowardly sniper and a tough sous-chef. It will be a long road to success, fraught with danger, bravery, and devil fruit eating weirdos!

All in all, I thought that it was a great read with characters who could be hilariously stupid or dead serious. I would definitely recommend it if you like comics or manga. The plot is not overly complex in the beginning and the main characters are very one dimensional, so it’s perfect for a day when you are bored or too tired to process a lot of information. Then again, I read these on days when I’m excited, so… What are you waiting for? Start reading!!!
