Better than the Art of War
Rating:
The title says it all, it provides better insite on battle field tactics and focuses more on the individual than the whole.
It's no Art of War
Rating: 
This was a decent book, but not great. I bought it thinking it would be Japan's version of The Art of War and I figured it would be filled with useful strategic knowledge and great quotes that you can apply to everyday situations. Not so much, at least that's my opinion. Maybe I'm missing the correlation between life's situations and this book, but it just felt like a swordsman's how to manual and nothing more.
The cool thing about this book is the fact that it was written by, arguably, Japan's greatest samurai dueler nearly 400 years ago. A lot of what is contained in the book made me want to ask "ok, so how can I relate this to real life?" such as when he writes of how to hold a sword, but the fact that it was written by a great warrior such as Miyamoto Musashi makes it a classic read that's good to have under your belt just to say you read it.
wild book
Rating:
crazy wild book, got it for my brothers b-day and read it after he did...very interesting.
