REAL Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book Reviews

• Genius.

  
  By A1EQFIMATRNP99 on 2004-07-15
  Ever have an obsession when you were a kid? Something you loved so much that you couldn't stop talking about it to anyone and everyone? Multiply that by 100 and you get Robert Hamburger, the fictional author/protagonist of the book. While the book is primarily made up of the same material that is posted on the website, the true point of the book is hidden in it's footnotes. Through conversations with his babysitter/co-writer, dog, parents and psychologist, we follow Robert's story and delve into the psyche of a pretty messed up little kid. What a lot of people dont seem to get is that the book, like the site, isn't actually about Ninjas. It's not REALLY a ninja hand guide, or a history lesson. The point isnt to educate, the point is to tell the story of a troubled kid who buries himself in a ninja fantasy in order to escape his negligant parents, over-critical teachers and to compensate for his lack of friends. As a kid we all had times when we wished we could run away to the circus, or could go live in outer space, or whatever, because we felt like we couldn't indentify with anyone.. this book is simply the story of a kid going through that kind of period in his life. And for everyone that claims that the website and the book may cause kids to "flip out and kill each other," I believe that the book actually encourages the exact opposite. Robert is facsinated with killing and violence because it's what he wants to do to the people that have hurt him in his life, or he wants to find a ninja friend to do it... hell, we've seen children and young adults in this situation before a few years back, and we've seen the consequences of such pent up anger. This book is not an advocate of violence, but a warning as to what can happen when we try to force kids to abandon childish things, pump them full of medicine and "discipline" in order to make them grow up fast, rather than encourage them to be silly, dream and savor every momment of their childhood. I for one did not expect this level of complexity in this book, but I was totally floored after finishing it. Comedy, especially parody, has always been the best forum for social commentary, and this book masters it. If you hate the site, or if you don't get it, spend the $10 and read the book and I'm pretty sure you'll change your opinion. This book is genius: and by genius, I mean totally sweet.
  
  

• Masaki Hatsumi loves Real Ultimate Power

  Anyone who knows anything about ninjas knows that ninjas are totally sweet. And by sweet I mean awesome. Their sole purpose in life is to flip out and kill people. Once I saw this guy just standing around, he suddenly lit up a ciggarette.....then out of nowhere, this totally sweet ninja appeared and flipped out on the guy. He chopped his face up with some sort of awesome ninja weapon (I couldn't see what it was because he was so fast). Then, he pulled out his guitar and wailed to the screams of terrified onlookers. When the cops showed up, the ninja rode away on hippo, 'cause everyone knows that ninjas and hippos are blood brothers. Everyone should buy this book because it's so sweet. And by sweet I mean totally rad. After reading this masterpiece, I totally flipped out and punched this guy in the face. He got all irratated with me and threatened to call the cops (wuss). But he had another thing coming, 'cause after reading Real Ultimate Power, I had become a full fledged ninja. You too can become a ninja, just pay close attention to this book and you'll be flipping out in no time.

  Dudes, I read this book because I LOVE the Hamburger Man! I mean, I am a total lesbo, but if I had to be straight, I would be all about Robert Hamburger, so that is why I read this book. In fact, when I read it, it was so good even -I- popped a 10 foot boner, and I'm like a chick! So then I ran out and porked as many babes as I possibly could, all thanks to this AWESOME book! Thank you Robert Hamburger! You made my lifelong dream come true!

  PS: Anyone who does not like this book is a stupid laser shooting pirate, and they deserve to have their fingers bitten off by rabid dogs and then have their heads topped off with the rabid dogs' poo. And if you think that this review sucks, then you are a hopeless pirate loser and probably would not appreciate this genius book anyway, so don't bother buying it.
  
  

• The new Adrian Mole or Holden Caulfield.

  
  By A189RMC6YWTTU8 on 2005-10-26
  I bought this book after reading the hilarious "Real Ultimate Power" website, and I expected to find an extension of the humourous made-up encyclopedia of ninja knowledge.
  
  Indeed, the book does contain most of the website's content, and a wealth of new ninja-based content. However, there is a far deeper and darker story going on between the lines that gives the reader much more than they bargained for.
  
  This is the story of an unhappy child. Nobody understands him, and he understands nobody. Feeling neglected by his disfunctional parents and shunned by his peers, Robert both hides and expresses himself within his own fantasy world. Ninjas are like his imaginary friends, his heroes, and his outlet for revenge fantasies.
  
  As Robert descends further into his world, real life events are distorted and exaggerated, and eventually Robert comes to the conclusion that there is only one way out.
  
  It is a surprisingly dark and serious book, but definitely with some hilarious moments, usually coming from Robert's unique way of describing and relating to characters and events. If you buy it looking for more of the insane ninja-related ramblings of the website, you won't be disappointed - but this book doesn't let you get away with just laughing at Robert's craziness.
  
  Prepare to be taken down the slippery slope as Robert's grip on his life is eroded. There are moments where your laughter is stopped short when you realise what Robert is getting at, and the realisation that this isn't going to end well is a powerful one.
  
  All in all, this is destined to be a cult classic. It might not get through to everyone, and it is doomed to be misunderstood by people who take it at face value, much the same as the website. This author has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and not all of them will leave you feeling comfortable.
  
  Darker than either "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 1/4" or "The Catcher In The Rye", this book is a unique and deeply affecting insight into a disturbed young mind.
  
  

• don't read this book it is bad

  
  By A3AYGQC7YA27YD on 2004-09-29
  yo what's up i am a ninety year old lamer with like the wrinkliest balls in history and i want to tell everyone to stay away from this book because it made my son too awesome and now he spends all day flipping out and porking all the hottest babes. lotsa kids at school used to mess with him but those kids don't even have heads anymore(my son chopped them off using "supposed" ninja powers). the cops can't even arrest him because he also can be invisible using his bio-slime. in conclusion, if you even just HANG OUT with this book you may become a ninja or at least develop bio-slime. ok i have to go now and pork my 500 year old wife EWWWWWWW
  
  
• I'm tired of all you morons out there
  By on 2004-07-08
  I don't typically bother with writing reviews, but there are so many utterly moronic people out there I can't believe it. To anybody out there who thought we should "do research on the author of this book" and "remember 9/11", please get a life. I remember 9/11 just fine, and that day really hurt and still does, but IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS BOOK, idiot. First of all, the articles on Robert's site ARE NOT REAL. I REPEAT: THEY ARE NOT REAL! Nice job on your research, dumba$$, you look like a complete fool. A simple giveaway would be clicking any of the links on the side of the "MSN" article. All the links are DEAD and wouldn't go ANYWHERE related to Microsoft even if they weren't. Try looking at the links, moron.

  If there are actually kids out there hurting themselves and/or other people because of this, then HEY PARENTS, I have an IDEA: DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILDREN! I'm the father of a very active 5 year old boy. He's a pretty hyped up little soldier, but I'll be damned if he ever hurts someone. He'd be punished and that would be the end of that - and he KNOWS that so he keeps his cool most of the time. Kids are not in control, parents are. Somewhere along the way in this screwed up world parents lost sight of that. If your kids are out of control, it's your own damned fault, not Robert Hamburger's. Nice try using whoever you can as a scapegoat, though. Who said his site or book were for kids anyway?

  Anyway, I digress. The website rules, the book is HILARIOUS. If you have ANY sense of humour at ALL, pick it up! All you people claiming this is a disgrace to Ninjitsu or whatever, just loosen up, for crying out loud. I respect your love of the arts, but this is just a funny little website/book that brings humour into our lives. Relax, have some fun. If you go to the website and find it's not your type of humour, then that's cool, but don't go around b**ching about it to everyone else. Just go on your way and find something else that makes you laugh, ok? Heaven forbid the rest of us should find some humour in a stupid little book about ninjas that flip out all the time.

  Alright everyone, sorry for going on so long, but I had to show my support! Get the book! Have FUN!!! =)
  
  

• this kid goes to my school
  By A1NAUUPJ3CH17L on 2006-04-20
  This kid goes to my school. He bit a teacher after she took some stickers away from him. Then he went running past my classroom. The principle chased him in the parking lot while the whole school watched. I'm sick of him.
  
  
• Ninja Please!
  By on 2004-07-12
  I can't describe how amazingly funny this book is! It's been a long time since I actually laughed out loud from reading a book. Several times while reading I had to put the book down because I got so pumped that I thought I was going to uppercut myself in the nuts!

  I loved the website and this book follows in the same tradition with its insane, sick humor. I can't believe the people who bash this book for not teaching real ninjitsu! How stupid can you be?! While reading those bad reviews all I could hear in my head were guitars wailing and I got so pumped that I almost threw myself down the stairs!! You guys need to get a life right now or else; just picture yourself covered with ninja stars!
  
  

• Not what I expected
  By A288GOGEYVAQ8C on 2004-08-08
  First of all, the realultimatepower website is hilarious. I was expecting the book to be similar to the site. At first glance it is.
  
  Then you start reading the footnotes.
  
  This isn't a book about ninjas at all. This is the story of an outsider kid no one likes. A kid whose parents see him as an accident that got in the way of their lives. A kid who wants to just connect with someone so badly that he sees his dog as "what a mom should be, but furrier." A kid who fantasizes about being kidnapped by a stranger and taken away from everything that hurts him.
  
  I could not put this book down and I literally read it cover-to-cover nonstop. The book continues to get less and less hilarious the further you get as more and more of the true story comes out.
  
  I didn't expect it, but Real Ultimate Power is one great book.
  
  
• I can testify this book is 100% accurate
  By A7ESK6CL17PK8 on 2004-07-20
  My name is Sensei Miku Wagenure and I have been studying the ancient art of Ninjutsu my entire life. It is rare for a book to come along to give such insight into our ancient ways. I would even say this book goes so far as to reveal secrets never before released by the ninja community, such as our battle cry and method for committing the act of seppuku. I would by lying if I said I wasn't somewhat disappointed that Hamburger-san has revealed some of our secrets, but I suppose now is the time for the public to learn of the ancient way.
  
  I highly recommend all those interested in the life, psychology, and spirit of the ninja arts obtain a copy of this tome.
  
  
• Read with Caution
  By A26ZY2WP6YLNF9 on 2004-10-01
  I bought this book to read on the crapper. Everytime I looked at it I popped 500 boners and was unable to pee efficiently. I don't always sit down to pee, but it is hard to read this book if I am standing up. You should only attempt to read this book in a boner friendly location. Places you would not want to read this book:
  1) Church
  2) While giving a speech or participating in a debate
  3) A Daycare Center
  4) Prison
  
  I will gladly change my review to 5 stars if Mr. Hamburger places a "Boner Warning" sticker on the front cover. Otherwise, two thumbs up.
  
  
  
  
• This kid is a loser
  By on 2005-09-25
  "Robert's" real name is Kyle and he goes to my school. He is so stupid. PIRATES RULE!!! Ninjas have no boners at all and kyle has no idea what he is talking about if you ask me. Ninjas are cool but a pirate has way cooler weapons and awesome boats. Ninjas all where the same dumb outfit that looks like pajamas. One time kyle bit my teacher and then totally flipped out and ran down the hallway top speed!
  
  
• Don't be a little baby-baby/crabby mom....BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
  By A1QJG70NHFARA4 on 2004-06-30
  Fans of RUP already knew this book would be total sweetness. Sometimes I'm not sure what's funnier. The RUP site/book or these friggin' retards who take RUP seriously and fear that people will flip out and talk to hippos or stab someones feet off. You people are jackasses x 34690860.
  This book contains everything from the site plus a WHOLE lot more. This is the funniest book I have ever read and I laughed out loud through every page. I really hope that there is a follow up.
  If you have been living in a cave chalk full of hippos for the last 6 years and have no idea what RUP is, you should check out the site for starters at www.realultimatepower.net. If you dig it as much as the rest of the world show your support by getting a t-shirt or something.
  Long live RUP! (and down with the single mother of 3)

• Not as funny as the Website
  By on 2004-07-14
  I got this book because I laughed my arse off after reading the website. When I mean lmao I mean every word on the site is hilarious and his style is borderline genius. The book, however, is not as funny. For one, he pulls a lot of the same jokes from the site and tries to resell them in the book - i.e. the ninja scripts, the index page, etc. Cheap trick buddy. Second, once you realise it's not a ten-year old kid writing but in fact a 35 year old philosophy major reject, you just feel bad for the guy. Most importantly, the style just wears thin. REad too much of it and you lose the sponataneity that is Robert Hamburger. It's kind of like sitting through 10 Jim Carrey movies. AFter a point, you just say enough is enough, this ain't funny.
  
  
• I flipped out almost TOO hard!
  By A30IDS2A99J69H on 2004-08-05
  Holy Crap! Mr. Hamburger's first book is an incredibly insightful look into the true life of REAL ninjas. Included in this ridiculously awesome book are factual facts about ninjas, their real true history, how to socialize with ninjas, and even how to train to be a ninja! REALLY! Is that too cool for you? (Probably.)
  This book is the best birthday present ever! I should know, since I got it for my birthday from the hottest babe on the planet. Ninjas hit on her all the time. But that just makes me feel proud that such a hot babe would get me such a totally sweet present!
  I read this book so hard that my fingers bled!
  PLUS! Here's the bonus: Not only is Robert Hamburger SMART, but he's also super-funny. I was laughing so hard while I read this book in a tree at the park. This guy walked by and was like, "Psh! Why are you laughing so hard? Is it because you're a freak?" Luckily, I'd just finished the chapter on invisibility, so I turned invisible and kicked the guy's lips. He cried so hard his eyes turned into raisins or dried apricots. I was laughing at his raisin-eyes and at the book way too hard, though. I think I ruptured my abdominal muscles. I can't even read the last four pages of the book until my laugh muscles heal up. Until then, I'll just practice my kicks and punches while I'm in bed.
  It's a good thing i read this book, because i was a total IDIOT before. Now I truly understand REAL ULTIMATE POWER, and I think I might even have a little bit of it somwhere inside of my spleen or something! Totally SWEET! READ THIS BOOK! (OW! I'm flipping out almost TOO hard!)
  
  
• Amazingly Esoteric and Biblical in nature.
  By A24531YTG37WIS on 2004-10-12
  In Robert Hamburger's freshman novel - Real Ultimate Power: The official Ninja Book, Hamburger delves deeply into an alternate reality that is commonly hidden from the view of man kind.
  Throughout our lives we are constantly preoccupied with what we deem to be important and proper so that we can live with meaning and happyness. What the psyche often forgets is how sweet ninjas are. Hamburger develops this novel (it is more like a study of mankind) carefully, and intricately weaves his words and thoughts in accordance to the highest forms of spiritual law and mental awareness. This precise attention to the details of the subconscience, the super ego, the fundamental lament of the hippo, and its quintesential parter the Ninja, is totally sweet in this book, and by totally sweet I mean like the 3rd level of conciousness augmented to a minor third by Charlie Parker in some old club where the one guy in the audience flips out hard and projectile vomits on his mom.
  
  This book not only is somthing that we should read everyday, we should read this to babies in the womb as well as to the people who are so close to passing in nursing homes that they can only eat through a tube and breath heavily. Since this book teaches us all how we can truely live a full and spiritually perfect life while accomplishing what we need on the physical plane of life, I will not be surprised if this book will promt the starting of a large religious following.
  
  Like books such as the Bible, the Koran, and The oddesy, this book is one that will truely change the history of mankind and the world. Its great power is difficult to comprehend in the very limited understanding of the miniscule human brain, but overhead and all through us the voices of the angels and spiritual beings can be heard praising through sacred murmers and rich warm tones the glory and power that this book truely is.
  
  So let us not delay in beholding this book and the prophet, Robert Hamburger who has graced us with these words of infinite wisdom and love.
  
  Not only will I personally read this book everyday in my life, I will read it to the world. I will read it to the starving in ethiopia so that they may have food, I will read it to the cocain addicts on the streets of L.A. so that they may throw off the clutches of evil addiction, I will read it to the rich man who hast been possesed and ravaged by the unholy notion of greed.
  This book shall be read to all upon their arrival to heaven!
  
  
• Keep Holy the Sabbath Day by readin this book
  By A33OCN015SHWP3 on 2004-07-16
  I am not religious but I do know God would let you sleep in church if you read this book, i mean it man. He would be like, "I am God, and.. hey wait is that, that ninja book, i love that book more then my own, i got so psyched about it i kicked jesus in the face." and then he will grant you a sleep in church pass like he did for mel gibson since he made the passion. I just ordered mine yesterday and the local post office black listed my number since i called every 5 minutes to see if they got the book in, well i am out i think i am going to go watch my cousin swallow a tire or something.
  
  
• The book had me eating spicy chili with a hippo
  By A2PULKWN28JL2C on 2004-09-20
  Robert Hamburger is an awesome author and his book had me TOTALLY PUMPED. It taught me everything I need to know about ninjas including how to fly, how to uppercut someone if they piss you off (then friggin' book), how to use bio-slime, and of course how to turn invisible and sprinkle pubes on them to make them TOTALLY embarrassed. I also found out how to tell if someone is a true ninja or just another idiot in black pajamas...which is bragable on my part.
  
  I know some of you are probably going to say that this book is stupid or that I'm stupid for liking this book, but you are a stupid idiot if you think that. And if you ever came to my face with a posse of pirates and/or vikings and said that I was an idiot and that I wasn't a ninja, take it from Robert Hamburger and me, you'd be in for a huge surprise....how about a huge hippo six foot boner uppercut?!?!
  
  After gaining my purple belt at the back of this book (maybe next time I'll get the black belt and become SUPER pumped) me and my buddies had a bunch of hot babes over to celebrate, there were guitars WAILING in the background the whole time we porked like thousands of babes....and it's all thanks for Robert and his cool book (and by cool I mean totally sweet). I now have the authority on the ninja topic and can recommend this book to anyone who is willing to get pumped and wants to become a true ninja.....AND WOULDN'T EVEN THINK TWICE ABOUT IT!!!

• Dear Stupid Idiots:
  By A1VCPMT1RRS7K0 on 2005-12-16
  This book is entertaining to the same part of you that laughs at people when they fall down, etc... It's silly humor, nothing more. So enjoy it for what it is and don't take it too literally.
  
  I thought the book was hilarious, personally. It's something you have to be in a certain mood to read: The mood to laugh at something so ridiculous that it's funny.
  
  Funny idea for a book. I'm actually impressed that Mr. Hamburger was able to fill so many pages with nonsensical information about ninjas. Definitely an entertaining read, though.
  
  
• Real Ultimate CRAP
  By A29Y5VW2QMY4FI on 2004-06-25
  I've read some pretty terrible things during my stint as on the parole board at Rykers Prison but none of them were quite as horrible as this book.

  This Cheeseburger guy knows nothing about Ninjas or the ULTIMATE REAL POWER... I know this because I occassionally dawn the gear and flip out on the inmates with ninja stars and numchucks.

  Only thing this book made me want to do was flip out MY BOWELS into my pants.

  If you're looking to obtain a moment in your life when you can sit back and reflect on how you wish you could really get the last ten hours of your life back then I highly recommend reading this book. Cause that's how I felt after reading it.

  The mailman did not deliver this book with his pants around his ankles as promised...

  Pirates > Ninjas
  
  

• Absolutely stunning.
  By A3QJ9ZJQRYJ2OU on 2004-12-22
  I got ten copies of this book for cheap Christmas presents for friends; we've all seen the website and nearly peed ourselves laughing at its absurd hilarity. I got the book expecting a literal copy of the website, a coffeetable book visitors could laugh at. However, when I started reading through the book, I saw my favorite pages, but while I read I noticed a much darker undertone, one that tells a story of a boy for whom ninjas are an escapist fantasy where he can run away from his horrible home life, his lack of friends and generally his alienation from the world, where he is a ninja and his hyperactive tendencies become not irritating and unmanageable, but totally sweet.
  
  While the website is all about Robert's view of ninjas, this book is most definitely not about ninjas. And when you finish it, you'll find yourself surprised by how moving it truly is.
  
  
• Well written and tactful piece of prose
  By A132QBJON5H4D3 on 2005-02-24
  This has been one of the most entertaining and complex reads I have had in a long time. I read the book in a day, but understanding the author and the meaning of the book could take a lifetime.
  
  
• In a league of its own
  By A2BE57PEC7YSOD on 2005-11-09
  This little book is truly "extraordinary" in the literal meaning of the word: it is really something that is uncommon and different from what we are used to see these days.
  
  Amazingly, since it was written by a kid (or, maybe, for this very exact reason), it can be read on several different levels, many of whom not even the author was probably aware of.
  As such, it is very difficult to write an objective, serious and useful review since the final rating/judgment will vary greatly according to what you are expecting to find in it.
  
  If you want to read it as a martial arts manual..... well, there is not much to say, you should look somewhere else (let me tell a personal anecdote: a few months ago I went in a large bookstore with a famous kung fu master and he picked up this book. I'll never forget his totally puzzled face after 30 seconds of reading it and trying to understand what kind of book this was!).
  
  This book is about the fun and dramatic experiences and daily life of troubled kid: you can get great fun out of it and laugh loud, but there is also a lot of food for thought, if you want to look for it, and, in fact, I believe this book could even be used at academic level for having a unique insight on kids' psychology (surely even Freud would have been very "pumped" by reading this!) which could be very useful for writing a master thesis on the subject!
  
  Can it be harmful to young and lonely kids? The answer is "yes", nonetheless, 90% of what makes the society we are living in is potentially dangerous too so if something happens, the blame should probably go to the adults who are responsible for them and not to another kid who simply tried to express his troubled world in his own words.
  
  In summary:
  If you are a teenager looking for some silly fun.... good! Get this book: you will laugh out loud!
  If you are a college student majoring in psychology.... Great! Get this book: you'll find plenty of unique insights on a kid's mind!
  If you are a lonely kid who is fascinated by the ancient art of Ninjutsu..... Wonderful! Find a proper martial arts school and start training hard!
  
  
  
• Hippos Rule
  By AMRWQD85493BB on 2004-07-14
  This is a humorous and suprisingly poignant book. It is like Catcher In The Rye for people who love ninjas. It is not for everyone but is a must read for males between 18 and 35. Robert Hamburger has not only created a book and a website but an entire mythology including his own critics. His suposed hatemail beats his real critics to the punch by pointing out the absurdity of his claims. But it is the unwaivering belief of the authors protaganist that makes this book so good.
  
  
• TRUTH'S EXPOSED--READ THIS REVIEW
  By A321W4SSC0F6AP on 2004-09-01
  Did you know that Robert Hamburger doesn't even exist?
  
  Real Ultimate Power is actually a project by a bunch of sophomores at Grimy Ridge Community College, which is just outside of Kings Row, Pensylvania.
  
  Grimy Ridge Community College, or GRCC, as I will refer to it, is actually funded by the Japanese Association of Ninpo and Ninjitsu (JAONAN). It is also funded by private donations, also. From some internet research that I did, I found that many of the donations come from martial arts masters from various martial arts.
  
  I was wondering why so much funding would come from sources like that. My only guess is that the real ninja masters have some purpose that is unknown at this time.
  
  Overall I find the content of the book stellar.
  
  However, I am rating this review only four stars, because I would like to see the book and the website have more techniques in them. I found the content very interesting, but it focuses too much on the lifestyle of the ninjas and not enough on their actual technique. But, I did find porking a lot of hot babes very interesting, so maybe I'm being too harsh with my four star review.
  
  
• It's True, I've seen a ninja in action myself!

  Ok, this one time, I was forced to goto the local shopping mall with my mom. And this lady was coming out of Old Navy, and she had a shirt on that said Old Navy, and she forced all of her children (who looked void of life) to where Old Navy shirts as well, and they were not even payed a cent by Old Navy to advertise there store for them, infact they charged them for the shirts! What's worse is they payed some indonesian kid like 5 cents a week to make the damn thing, all the while charging this mother $5.00 a pop for to where...
  
  ...which was payed for with the kid's colledge funds...
  
  Anyhow, out of no where, this ninja who was standing across the street from the mall parking lot (because we all know ninjas go no where near shopping centers), popped a HUGE boner, at least 300 yards, uper cutted the store manager of old Navy, then went on to decapitate the mother with it, as well as the children, because deep inside they were secretly fond of Old Navy and wore there shirts proudly!
  
  What ever you do, don't piss off a ninja, it's just plain stupid!

  My name is Sensei Miku Wagenure and I have been studying the ancient art of Ninjutsu my entire life. It is rare for a book to come along to give such insight into our ancient ways. I would even say this book goes so far as to reveal secrets never before released by the ninja community, such as our battle cry and method for committing the act of seppuku. I would by lying if I said I wasn't somewhat disappointed that Hamburger-san has revealed some of our secrets, but I suppose now is the time for the public to learn of the ancient way.
  
  I highly recommend all those interested in the life, psychology, and spirit of the ninja arts obtain a copy of this tome.

  My name is Mark and Robert learned everything he knows about ninjas from me. I never thought this book would sell so fast. Its sold over 3 zillion copies worldwide. When Robert told me he wrote a book I was like "Oh is it a crappy book full of crap." And then this ninja jumped out of no where and stabbed me in the hand. I looked at my stabbed hand and a book was stabbed in it. Robert said that that was his ninja book that was hella sweet. I read it and this ninja came over and brought alot of babes for me to pork.

  When I see Robert at school tomorrow I'm gonna tell him how cool and swell his book is. Everybody should flip out and read the book or else you suck and youre some old granny.
