hvsio 's review for:
A Book of Five Rings: The Classic Guide to Strategy
by Miyamoto Musashi
I wish I liked this book more, but I would have to start studying martial arts. I believe there could be some general truths included in author’s voice, but the translation is just poor and uses the most basic of words. The amount of “You must research this.”-like sentences is tiring after first 10 pages. Also, what am I supposed to research it from, if the author quietly claims his Way is the most effective?
The book as a historic piece - amazing, we have traces of how the art of sword and strategy was perceived by one of the best masters back in the days. On the other hand, the book as a contemporary content source - well, it performs a bit worse imo.
