Overall, the book was great, especially for Graystripe fans. The artwork was great and the story compelling. Graystripe has been captured by Twolegs and now lives with them. He begins to feel lost and confused. He longs to return to his Clan, but he begins to forget the life of the warrior and begins to acts more like a kittypet, even fearing the outside. Will he be albe to find his way home?
The only complaint I have is that was way too short. Even taking my time, I finished it within 20 minutes. I think they could have added much more detail to the story line and expanded the book much more.

This book was very interesting. When GrayStripe disappered, and then the manga was made, it added a cool twist. One thing that'll keep us waiting is what happens to his partner. I'm impatiently waiting for The Warrior's Refuge.

I absolutely loved it, I don't get why everyone says it was a disappointment! Sure it was maybe a little short but the art was cool, and yeah Millie's a Mary Sue, but it is worth the read all the way and it helps lead up to what's discussed in the Sight. It was great also for my 8 year old brother who wants to read warriors but isn't ready for the actual books themselves. I mostly reccomend this to ages 5-14, however.

First of all I must say that Dapplewing's review is very accurate. All the cats look really bad. Brightheart, horribly scarred from a dog attack, is depicted as a perfectly normal cat with one eye closed. Its pretty pathetic. Then there's the matter of its astounding length. It only takes fifteen minuets to read it. Its not worth buying, just go to a bookstore and read it and when your done, put it back on the shelf. Buying a book that you can finish in the time it takes to get back home from a bookstore is like throwing your money away. The story doesn't get very far, but it could have been worse. Well, not much worse.

As anyone who's read Dawn knows, Graystripe was captured by Twolegs when rescuing cats from their traps. This manga follows his adventure in Twolegplace and his desperate attempts to escape...and what happens when he meets Millie, a kittypet in the same Twolegplace.
The Lost Warrior is good...just not spectacular. They could have made the story a lot longer and made a better, more detailed manga.
Now for the storyline. It's good. But... a little boring. And short. Graystripe wants to get out of Twolegplace but seems to have given up hope. He's seemingly lost all his warrior instincts, and after (spoilers begin here) losing a fight with a kittypet, Graystripe begins to believe he'll never get out of there.
Then he meets Millie, another kittypet. Fascinated by the forest life, she wants to be taught how to fight and hunt, and Graystripe meets her demands. Slowly, his warrior instincts begin to return, though Graystripe still has little hope. Eventually Silverstream convinces Graystripe to look for the Clans, and he goes, though he meets obstacles along the way. (spoilers end here)
So it's good. But not totally awesome, and the plot could have been expanded a lot more. I HAVE flipped through it again and still enjoyed it, but don't expect the most amazing book in the world...it pales much in comparison to the regular Warriors.
So this book is worth buying, just don't walk into the bookstore expecting the best manga there is to read. If you do, you may be a bit disappointed.

I actually bought this for my wife who likes the Warriors series of books; she has them all. I thought I would give it a read and liked it very much. I am now patiently waiting for the next volume.

Everyone says its too short but... isn't that why there are 3 of them?
I loved this book. It was awesome. The pictures are drawn wonderfully and you get to see what happened to Graystripe. I was in the mall when I bought this book, and when I started reading it, it was so good I had to rush back to the bookstore and get the second one.

She is currently all caught up and is awaiting the next book in the series to go on sale. She uses the website for the book, tells us lots about the characters in the stories and has the cat characters posted on her bedroom walls.

Well, as usual, this book was written masterfully, and I would expect nothing less from the Erin Hunters. The artistry was amazing, but it was just too short. I finished it in under half an hour, which is just not like any of the other books. All in al, though, this book was pretty good.

I tell you, this was interesting. It was very good though. Graystripe was one of my favorite characters, and I was so disappointed when he left. I'm glad they're addressing that. I'm not sure about the manga, which makes the cats look odd. But I guess since I'm not much of a artist myself I can't say anything. This isn't a must-read, but it's quick, easy, and fast-paced.
