5.0 out of 5 stars Full perspective on Ninja, Dec 22 2003
By Whitney Stewart "Children's Book Author" (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With sensitivity, Hayes gives readers a clear
explanation of Ninja history, society, weaponry,
and spiritual practice. I appreciated his detailed
explanation of the mental training of ninjutsu.
Highly recommended.

By "daggath" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I am really glad i read this book, i had almost not bought it because i had already over shopped on books... but i am very glad i did get this book. It gave me a view into the philosophy of the ninja, and i highly recomend it

2.0 out of 5 stars Very hard to read, Dec 11 2002
By dasn0wman "dasn0wman" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This book may be informative, but I think it is way too informative. How so? It is describing martial arts movement. I don't know about you, but reading how a hand moves or how a weapon moves is very hard to follow. These things are meant to be seen. Some topics like the history and the philosophy makes good reading, but when the author becomes too descriptive with the techniques, it becomes very difficult to follow. Also, the style of writing does not make it easier to read either.

5.0 out of 5 stars The title sounds kind of cheesy, but the book is amazing.
WOW. That's all I can say... If you want content this is the book to get. Filled with information, but never gets boring. I read it in one sitting.

this is a great book to read. I read it many years ago and every once in a while I will pick it up and read it again. This is one of Hayes's best publishings in my opinion.

1.0 out of 5 stars The truth about Hayes
