My review of this book: I really enjoyed reading the Book of the Heart as well as al the other Samurai Series. I liked all the action, suspense, and drama in this book. I really liked the personality of Heaven. She's girly and hip as well as tough and outgoing. THough I liked many chapters in the the book there was one that made me sad. Heaven's boyfriend hasn't been true and trustworthy to her so afterwards he had to take the consequences. I would recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction filled with alot of action, drama, suspense, and everything else that could happen in life as well as girls who aren't afraid to fight.
