Synopsis

Destination is a state of mind. A tale of one girl and her bike and the road ahead. Kino wanders around the world on the back of Hermes, her unusual, anthropomorphic motorcycle, only staying in each country for three days. During their adventures, they find happiness, sadness, pain, decadence, violence, beauty, and wisdom. But through it all, they never lose their sense of freedom. They discover that because of the world's imperfections, is is actually a thing of beauty. "The world is not beautiful, therefore it is." (Source: Tokyopop)

Overall Rating: 10

This book is a lot like the anime. It follows it extremely closely. I did not give it an art rating because it is a novel...

It follows the storys in a different order then the anime. But if you've seen the anime you will notice immediately that you've seen these stories.

It might be better to read this first that way later you can see it come to life on the screen.

Reccomend for older teens due to violence(cannibalism)
