If you're interested in martial arts or planning a trip to China, this book will give you a great perspective. Comical and true-to-life, this is a story about perfecting an art form.
Amazing Martial Arts film March 9, 2007
I was looking for this movie so long, and finally I found it. It talks about Kungfu, China in a different way from the other kungfu films. I read also the book by which the film is based on. try it.
 Great Novel March 8, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is great for Americans to read before going to China. It tells us of the author's experience in a comical way that makes it easy to understand him. It also talks a lot about martial arts-- enough to get you interested, but not too much that it's all he talks about. I highly recommend reading this book!
Love and adversity in a foriegn land February 7, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was such a great movie. Very down to earth. Based on the author's own real life, his performance as the staring role is actually quite good for being an unknown actor. The whole movie is very low budget, but with such a great story and such intriguing, real characters that it blows away many bigger films that try to do more.
As a young 20-some year old that wants to visit the orient with many of the same expectations, I related very well to the main character and so this movie touched me more than most, but still a movie I would recommend to everyone.
