hariold - (March 05, 2007) Epic asventure of a middle aged artist running off to study at the feet of an over-educated shaman in Oaxaca Mexico Good dry humour; satire on New Age religious movements,bumbling black-op government intrusion into the rising spiritual atmosphere...serious commentary on economic political state of the culture; commentaries on the nature of matter and light and mysterious beauty of sentient consciousness...actually covers a lot for a single book. Well worth having about.

nihon4582 - (July 15, 2008) Great story about a man who moved to Japan to be with his girlfriend, become a teacher, and find an authentic Ninjutsu school. This book doesn't hold back when describing life in Japan........it takes a lot of the "exotic" view points of Japan and looks at them realistically. The same can be said about the training in Ninjutsu described. Very factual and straightforward. It's an interesting, true story about someone who took big risks in Japan.

Jhonny999 - (January 23, 2008) I am giving Ms. Lawrence a poor review because she makes assumptions that are not based on fact. During her Fox news report, she blatantly lied and completely misinformed the public. This is not acceptable behavior, and how does she expect me to read her book and believe what she has to say

cruisermary - (07/02/2009) Actually found my dog Champion Hoobin's Gray Boy in the book. Which I did not know but a pleasent suprise. Covered my handler and also co owner. They are know in the show world(Kodner & Skarda). It gives people an idea of the show world and pets. I enjoyed the book over all. I actually went back and bought a second copy to send to my sister for her birthday.

dennisdunnl09 - (06/03/2009) It is about our country; your town; your state......buy one for you and boy will you like it. Like me have you ever wante your state flag; or one of the United States. Here is your chance and look at the prices............

gjb1000 - (04/19/2009) My life as an artist has as a ground work Darwin's theory of who I am and how I evolved, not only as a human but as a being who's family immigrated. Genetically have I changed and will my family over time change? Is science the root of all modern art? YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!
