Wonderful story.

This was a beautifully written novel that will be hard to forget. I highly recommend it. I think this novel brought forth the Japanese sense of honor and respect. And it explained Japanese American hardships suffered during World War II. It was a well written story of love and loss. I couldn't put it down.

A very good read.

I was delighted by the passionate writing of John Hamamura. I felt a connection to both the characters and the setting of this story. It will give you an insight to the honor and bravery of the Japanese peple that were caught between two worlds during the war. I laughed and cried with these characters and was sorry to let them go.

A wonderful story that will make you forever respect Japanese-American soldiers and civilians of the World War II era

John Hamamura tells an unbiased story of the hardships Jpansese-Americans went through in his novel, Color of the Sea. He gives readers no mercy with the many sad events, forbidden loves, and loss of lives that occur in this novel. The characters all create a very real-seeming scenario that is sure to keep you turning the pages. Sergeant Sam Hamada, the main character of this novel, moved to Hawaii at a very young age, leaving his mother and siblings behind in Japan. He excels quickly in American life and is trained to become a samurai by one of my favorite characters, Fujiwara-san. Fujiwara-san is an old man whose supreme physical and mental strength would impress any reader. Throughout the rest of the book, Sam lives many places, accomplishes many tasks, and goes through many hardships, so do his family and long-time friends. This historical fiction novel is a must read for everyone. Pick it up today!

A MUST READ for everyone!

This book is not only beautifully written, but the story is both heartbreaking and uplifiting at the same time. There is appeal for both sexes. It's a story about the strength of love in war and about overcoming all of the challenges we face on a daily basis. I couldn't put this book down.
