Baccano! (light novel)
| As I finish reading through all the novels again, I thought it only fitting that I create individual topic discussions for each volume entry. The Rolling Bootlegs happens to be the very first novel in the Baccano! series. Absolutely adored this novel, the anime adaptation didn't leave much out but it did miss little minor details that would have made the onscreen experience much more enjoyable. Overall the novel itself was written very well. I especially love those FiroXEnnis moments and the brief conversation excerpts Narita has with his own character Firo in a New York City bar. |
| Wait. what. huge role as an Antagonist? O.o WWHHEEEENN!? |

| I wouldn't count him as an antagonist as while he certainly causes a lot of problems for Firo in the 1930's in his attempts to cause grief for Huey, It really sucks that the anime cut him out though since he's the one character in the series that hates all the chaos and tries to make things orderly despite the universe laughing in his face all the time. His job in the FBI also explains why none of the immortals are captured by the US government and like experimented on or something since he takes care of all their paper work. |

| I guess he is more like one of those tweeners that just goes looking for his own ways. And as for this first novel, it was quite informative and I liked the majority of the dialogues and narrative. Very creative tart. Looking forward to reading the remaining novels! |

But if he's supposed to have been in the first novel that I just finished, where was he mentioned? (In case Yen Press gave him a different name like Pecho/Pezzo) EDIT: Scratch that, the 2 FBI agents mentioned him. You guys weren't kidding about brief, here I was thinking you were referring to Edward Noah or something. Oh, that. Yes, that's the only thing about victor Talbot in the first novel indeed. |

| I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (sorry if it isn't), but seeing as this is the discussion about the first volume and seems to be recently active. I figure this is the best place to have my question answered timely. So anyways I picked up the first volume of Baccano! and obviously want record my reading of Baccano! on MAL. But I am not sure how to record the chapters. There are the 3 main chapters, but also 2 epilogues and a prologue that, all together covering roughly 32 pages. I feel that individually they aren't enought to be given their own chapters. But I also feel like it adds enough to the story to not be ignored. So I am not sure as to how to count the prologue and epilogues and was wandering how other readers have counted them? Thank you for your feedback. |

| Re-read the first novel again, and it was just as enjoyable as the first time. My favourite scenes included the gandor brothers Russian roulette, Isaac and Miria coming to the realisation that by stealing some chocolate they're essentially killing kids, and the scene where Isaac and Miria essentially crash Firos ceremony. This time around I'm noticing just how much of an influence Isaac and Miria are on the story, without their interference the plot of the first novel could have gone on a completely different path. I'm looking forward to volume 2, which should be arriving any day now. |
