Mochizuki Does it Again
Ken Mochizuki has built a reputation over the years writing books that encourage and inspire. In this children's book, Mochizuki introduces the ideas of Bruce Lee, especially how hard work and focus pay off, especially for something of a misfit youth. The book makes no effort to teach Lee's fighting style, and Mochizuki's colloborator Dom Lee's illustrations are...

"Be Water..." doesn't hold water
I do not believe this book is endorsed by the Bruce Lee Foundation. I believe this not only because the book obviously does not state any endorsement from Bruce Lee's family (both here in the U.S. and China) but largely because of all the inaccuracies.

"Be Water..." doesn't hold water,
By Seattle Samurai (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Be Water, My Friend (Hardcover)
I do not believe this book is endorsed by the Bruce Lee Foundation.
I believe this not only because the book obviously does not state any endorsement from Bruce Lee's family (both here in the U.S. and China) but largely because of all the inaccuracies. What is disappointing is any person who is even remotely familiar with Bruce Lee will see the drawings in this book are blatent reworkings of still shots from Bruce's films as an adult and inaccurately placed as his childhood years. The final insult is drawings reworked to show inaccurate martial arts positions. Bottom line is this thin 16 pg. book is just reworkings with a few lines that might quickly bore any adult and child of any age. Recommendation - save your money and find a real bio with actual photos of Bruce Lee.

The book makes no effort to teach Lee's fighting style, and Mochizuki's colloborator Dom Lee's illustrations are age-appropriate, and will delight a child reading along with an adult at bedtime.
