In the new release of Avatar: The Last Airbender Book 2: Earth – Volume 4, Aang, Katara, Sokka and Toph finally reunite with Appa. Meanwhile Princess Azula is in the process of taking over the city of Ba Sing. Together, Aang, Katara, Sokka and Toph must stop Azula’s treacherous takeover of the city or watch the Earth Kingdom fall to the Fire Nation. It all culminates in the best bending battle of the season!
The long journey of young Avatar Aang and his friends Katara, Sokka, and Toph continues in this dramatic installment in the Avatar the Last Airbender series. Picking up from Volume 3, the first chapter on this disc, "Appa’s Lost Days," traces the hard times of Aang’s winged bison, Appa, after the latter is stolen in order to blackmail Aang into not going to the Earth King with information about a pending coup. The clever Aang manages to find Appa anyway and complete his crucial mission, though he learns, in "The Earth King," that the sheltered monarch doesn’t buy the notion that his own counsel, the power-grasping Long Feng, could be behind such a conspiracy. Complicating matters is the arrival of Princess Azula to take control over forces loyal to Long Feng, while Zuko, the reformed Fire Nation prince now acting as a humble but happier servant to his wise, tea-drinking uncle, is powerless to stop her. (On the other hand, Zuko forms an unexpected bond with one of Aang’s allies.) Everything comes to a head in "The Crossroads of Destiny," in which Aang, suddenly confused by the sage advice of a guru who tells him he must free himself of a crucial emotional attachment, joins the others in an uphill effort to stop Azula from overtaking the Earth King. As engaging and frequently funny as every other volume in the Avatar series, Volume Four is a great ride through a climactic time in the long-running story. --Tom Keogh

Summary: Damn crossroads...
Comment: THe final episodes of Season 2 were just wonderful. A bit disappointed in what Zuko did, but then you can;t have a story without twists and turns.

Summary: Really for everyone
Comment: Some of the kids in my daughters school started showing up with blue arrows on their foreheads, so I asked what it meant, being the dumb grownup that I am. Avatar, was the answer, and one of the other children brought a copy the next day for "everyone" (me, my wife and our daughter) to watch. Now I have never shrunk from watching endless repeats of Finding Nemo, or Cars, but I was not prepared for the Avatar phenomenon. It drew me right in and has held my attention though each episode, and I sometimes think I like it more than my own daughter likes it. There is nothing not to like about this series and it is truly for every age group, which is pretty amazing.

One of the other parents I know passed on Avatar, without watching any, claiming it was too violent, too much war, blah, blah. In fact, it is about a world at war, and a very long war. And there is some violence, although I do not believe a single character has been killed, nor has anyone shed blood. There have not been any moments when my daughter felt too frightened to watch. And it is really not about war but about being redeemed from war. The Avatar, a young boy, is trying to stop the war and save the world. But it is not namby pamby about showing some pretty hard fought battles and the creators have clearly done some intensive studying on the different martial arts styles. Anyway, the stories are all great and you should become addicted too, just like me.

Summary: cool series
Comment: I've become addicted to this crazy little series. It's a little corny is some aspects but it's also rather entertaining. I also let my neice and nephew watch this series as it's good clean animation that I don't have to worry about them picking up bad habbits for language from.

Summary: What can you say?
Comment: It's the Avatar. My whole family enjoys watching it together or seperate. We eagerly await the new episodes on TV. There really isn't anything not to like. If you like the show. You will like the DVD. Kudos to Amazon for offering the same or similar pricing as Wal-Mart. I am only sorry to see the show come to an end...
