This volume contains two Japanese there tomes that form alone arc Aincrad or the first 14 episodes of the anime. I'm a fan of the anime, but I admit I was surprised by reading this: I was expecting a more childish style. Well no, it is relatively well written. Certainly this is not George Martin, but it is fluid and well sewn, and style first person makes all this even more attractive. Kirito we appear much more friendly, and we can understand his feelings. The cartoon was relatively accurate, but it was right here many information about the world of SAO we did not in the anime series.
In the end, good novel, which is a connoisseur or not. I like to think that fame and success of ODS light novel gives an opportunity to establish themselves in France, because the genius of our Japanese friends do not stop to manga, as demonstrated Sword Art Online. Read and await further forward!
