When my Ninja Handbook arrived I was full of sweet anticipation and let me say...it NEVER disappoints! It's hilarious and page-turnery and full of charts and illustrations and pictures and seriously funny instructions and guidelines and exercises and beasts and weapons...and I mean PACKED FULL! It's got somewhere around 300 pages and I didn't want to stop reading it. And it's FUNNY...pop-culture skewering, very well written and non-repetitive. Two last words before I die: BUY IT!

I can't thank the International Order of Ninjas enough for allowing this book to be published. I killed two grandmothers and a wiener dog, and that was before I finished the third chapter! I will never go to jail, because I can smoke-bomb my way out of any situation. An indefensible reference for all that want to become phantasmal assassins lurking in the shadows of society.

This book is THE book if you want one that will teach you all about being a ninja. You too can learn why the ninja is looking forward to killing you soon and maybe even why he's going to do it.

[...]Buy this book. You'll be glad you did both. They're both very funny, smart and entertaining. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and hey if you're lucky you might even live to tell about it.

Received this for my birthday, and laughed so hard my lungs popped. Huge fan of the online series, and I recommend it to everyone who has a Ninja named Robert waiting to kill them.

This book is a must read for fans of the series and for non fans alike. While packed with the various forms of off the wall, sometimes silly humor of the ninja, this book also contains something else if you actually look for it. That something is very intelligent writing. There are several points that during your reading you will say to yourself, "huh". I was intrigued enough that i finished the book within a period of a day, which is the only downfall to the book, it is a very quick read. Hopefully we will will be fortunate enough to get another snippet of the ninja's zany insight before he decides to kill us.

This is the funniest book I've read in years. I picked it in a bookshop randomly and as I opened it I started laughing. Then I was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of my eyes. I just couldn't stop. I had to hide in a corner so that I could calm myself and finally go buy the book.
This is much too good!

This amazing book is a testament to the enormous self-confidence of the International Order of Ninjas. For a group with so many bloodthirsty enemies, the I.O.N. has little to gain and much to lose by allowing the publication of an in-depth examination of their methods and innermost thoughts. And yet here it is. This book boldly answers every question you've ever had about Ninjas, giving the reader a peak behind the face masks of the geniuses behind the Ask a Ninja podcast. Every page is informative, terrifying, wise, beautifully written and oh yes, hilarious. The laughs come at you from every angle when you least expect them, just like a Ninja. You don't have to have any interest in martial arts to love this book. You just need to like laughing and fear being gored from above with a bo staff. Get this book for everyone you know!

A book that is very funny and in a way very crazy. I recommend it.

My 14 year old son received this as a Birthday gift - It is the funniest thing I've read in years! The forward was my favorite part. I would love to read an entire book written by that dragon!
I had not heard of nor seen the web site, so I had no pre-conceived notions. I recommend for teens & adults alike.

:BE WARNED:

If you are not ready face the deadliness that is becoming a Ninja, this book will kill you 5 1/2 times before you flip the first page. Trust me I know, because I am currently writing this review in the special afterlife reserved for those with the privilege of being killed in a ninjaesque-manner (Amazon actually ships here too, neat!). I was not prepared, so I have paid the price for my failure. This truly is THE Ninja handbook.
