Secrets of the Ninja: Their Training, Tools and Techniques

Rating:
Summary: Ninja Trickery
Review: Secrets of the Ninja is a wonderful (but a bit thin) book about the techniques of the ninja, the mysterious subclass of the samurai. This book is a delightful read, but talks more about the techniques the ninja used than what they actully were. With interesting information about how ninja told time, ninja exercises, tools, ninja moves and more, this book is for the slightly interested American, not a person who already knows tons of information about ninjutsu. Falling into the first catagory, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It will keep you laughing till the end, but has only 90 or so pages, so dont expect that much. Most of this book was pictures, which many people probably like. All in all, this book was very interesting and not at all dense. I cant really say whether it is worth your money or not, because it really depends on the person.

Summary: This book is Great!
Review: This really is a great book, for the begginer. It is loaded with information on weapons, the history of the ninja(I'm not sure how accurate it is, I'm not an expert.), and the life style of the ninja. This book is great but teaches little technique and kind of has a childish tone, that might just be me, but it is still awesome. if you want to learn some more technique then I suggest; Stephen Hayes, Ashida Kim, And
Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. If you want the most basic information, and basic technique, then get this book. I gurantee you will read it over, and over again. Lot's of fun, and very informative.
