This book gets two of two stars for concept, one of two stars for execution, and zero of one stars for editing.
The title of the book grabbed my attention and I flipped through it at the library before taking it home. I read it in bursts on the toilet, hoping for something to make me laugh. Alas, I found myself checking to see how many pages were left more than enjoying the reading experience. Though the subjects that the title and back cover text refer to are covered, they are but a fraction of this meandering text about making the transition to ninja in 21st century America. As indicated before, I very much believe that the idea for the book is excellent but the execution is lacking -- perhaps the premise was not taken far enough or the approach could have been different [mayhaps less of the false history of ninjas in the United States & more personality tests to determine what sort of ninja the reader might be?].
All in all, worth a perusal but I would not buy it. I do hope, though, that this book signals a surge in more ninja texts.
Gambatte!

Very funny at times, although some items were a bit overused. As much of a goof as it was, some info is actually a little bit dead on.
