Reviews

A frantic, very funny, urban quest. - Mail on Sunday - Simon GarfieldA book of unexpected brilliance. It is subtle, funny, stimulating and original - a rites-of-passage story, an explanation of an alien culture, and an inspiring work of philosophy - Patrick FrenchHis fine eye for eccentricities makes this an entertaining travelogue - The ObserverA rattling good yarn and very funny into the bargain - Independent on Sunday - Tim HulseThis is a splendidly written adventure, something sane at last on the craziness of martial arts - Independent on SundayHis explanation of how to come to terms with intense pain should be read to every footballer who has ever writhed about in agony after a kick on the shin... It is a clever, enthralling book - Daily Mail - Ian WooldridgeBrilliant ... everyone should read it - Late Review - Tony ParsonsWonderfully oddball ... Here is a cult book all right, which could do for Japan and the martial arts what Hornby did for Highbury and the football terraces - Guardian - Frank Keating
