usually i don't rate books that i don't finish...unless they merit it. and merit in this case means that they are epically bad. i was assuming that this would be a semi-serious auto-biography or memoir or just life experiences book with a funny twist about beating people up.the first few chapters solidified that, but when i found that i was only 24% through the book and it was a boring slog that showed no promise of getting better, well i got out of this one. I feel much safer on the streets of Lansing, now that I know how to defend myself and my family using proper technique. Friedlander's illustrations guided me through some of the more complex training routines. The chapters on levitation and sizing were especially helpful. No joke, this book had me laughing out loud on several occasions. Sometimes the pictures alone were enough. One of the funniest I have ever read.
This book actually sucked.Wastage of time & money.
