Dear Stupid Idiots,

A lot of you have been saying that I don’t know anything about REAL ninjas. But that’s a bunch of bull crap! You dummies don’t know anything. And maybe YOU should get a life. I bet a lot of you have never even seen a girl naked! You idiots believe that ninjas had some “code of honor.” Yeah right! If by “code of honor,” you mean “code to flip out and go nuts for absolutely no reason at all even if it means that people might think you are totally insane or sweet,” then you are right. But if you mean a “code to be nice and speak nicely while sharing and not cutting off heads,” then you’re the biggest idiot ever!!!!!! So if you have any brains, you will shut up and get a life. So go shut up, you stupid idiot.

No thank you,

Robert Hamburger

    With REAL ULTIMATE POWER, Robert Hamburger has written a great mocking treatise on everything Ninja, using the topic to pick apart the freaky passions of the pre, or near, pubescent male in western society. Of course, this is assuming that "Hamburger" is indeed a pen name; if not, an explanation using intentional fallacy must come into play... The epitome of satire is being named among those one satirizes, thus with the current moniker of "Frat-Lit," it seems Hamburger has completed his mission. Will he rest among the great satirists such as Swift, Dryden, Twain, Orwell, or even Groening? Perhaps not. Yet while Robert Hamburger may be young in years, he is no child, and there should be a regarded place for his work. And a great work it is. It is too easy to "after-the-fact" pick apart the banal aspects of REAL ULTIMATE POWER; much harder to find the deeper meaning among the interstices.

    Then again, I've not laughed out loud as much during a reading in many years. This may be a sign of a personal lack of taste, or perhaps even an indictment of low art. However, the astute reader will surely find the value hidden in this work.

    This book had my PUMPED UP all the time. In fact I got so pumped reading this book that I had to go chill out and get a baby carrot out of the freezer. I can't believe all the great stuff I learned from this book. I learned how to fly, how to turn invisible, how to battle Vikings, Pirates, Moms, and sometimes baby sitters. If a viking ever tries to mess with me again, take it from me and Robert Hamburger...he would get a huge surprise, how about a six foot boner uppercut?!?

    Oh man, and if a Pirate came onto land and tried to take away one of my many hot babes using his stupid lasers....I'd probably scratch his eyes out or shoot some bio-slime at his crotch. Then I'd haul out my guitar and WAIL...HARD while I porked some totally hot babes.

    This book is only for those who are willing to get totally pumped, so if you are a stupid idiot you should not buy this book. It also helps if you've gone through puberty...it's not required but it is bragable. I would recommend this book to all my friends who are as cool as ninjas and who want to pop like a million boners....AND WOULDN'T EVEN THINK TWICE ABOUT IT!

    Some people read this book and/or the reviews and think this book is a joke, but it's not. I dated a Japanese girl for 2 years and even went to Japan, and I own a Samuri sword and I KNOW this is the real stuff. Nothing could better prepare you for fighting pirates or your mother than this book, not even playing Tenchu! Buy this book, yes it's funny, really really funny, but it's not true that training to be a ninja has to be hard work, the training is fun and sweet! Don't be scared, it's because wimps like you who don't buy this book which makes us have such a ninja shortage today, which is why ninjas get paid so much. Remember, you can learn about, or even be a real ninja if you buy this book and, of course, can you think of a better way to get girls? Shadow Warrior Sam

    Finally, a true and factual book on the pure awesomeness of being a ninja. If you are a cool and awesome 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 years old this is a must book to study when you have 5 or 10 minutes time to learn how to become a true ninja. In fact, your teachers may insist you do a book report on it. OOPS, I forgot real ninjas have no use for school and school teachers according to the expert writer in this awesome book. In fact, according to this awesome volume you may be retarded if you desire to become anything other than a ninja.

    When I saw this 193 page black soft cover book (Real Ultimate Power: The official ninja book by Robert Hamburger) I knew it was going to be super cool man. The author begins explaining why he wrote this book on ninjas (because they are so awesome) and he moves on to some other awesome topics like: Part 1: Who are these guys and what’s their problem? Part 2: The real history of the ninjas (which will just blow your mind). Part 3: Ninjas every day: (about their super powers, ninja fantasies, romance and the ninjas). Part 4: Welcome to my dojo! (Joining a clan, becoming a ninja and ninja kicks are covered in this awesome section). Don’t forget to read the appendix and exhibits section which has a super cool glossary and of course there is also an awesome quiz to make sure you have learned everything in this complete guide to ninjas.

    The awesome thing about being a ninja is you do not need to attend a regular school to learn reading, writing and math. Those subjects are retarded according to this book. Just find a ninja master to train with to learn everything you need to become a super cool (and of course AWESOME) ninja.

    In conclusion, this very humorous approach to ninjas made me laugh enough I just had to give it 4 stars. So get pumped up and prepare for a goofy, ironic and crazy ninja read.
    Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Martial Art and Warrior Haiku and Senryu).

    When I opened the box I almost lost an eye. This book popped out with a flying kick and went through a concrete wall. It tackled my neighbor and scared my dog so bad he peed on the kitchen floor. Luckily I had my blow dart gun near by. One quick needle tipped with a sedative and it was down long enough to put it into submission.

    Seriously though. This book is hilarious. Just look at the Amazon preview. If you are looking for an actual training guide look for something else. I need to run now. I think it heard me call it funny.

    Robert is either has a mental problem or he is a natural born comic genius my vote is genius. A book about a young child and his love of the Total Awsomeness that of the ninja. I had to put the book down and come back latter because I couldn't breath from laughing so hard.You want a good laugh and have a good time buy this book now. Or the ninja's will find you and if you read this book you know what they'll do to you when they do.

    An amazing book.
    I loved the website...in years first time I saw it.
    I have to keep it locked away as I can get a bit too pumped reading it.
    If you like Ninjas and you like getting pumped (not in a sexual way) and flipping out then this...is a book about it!

    I think this book is quite good.

    It's quite funny and says alot about make believe ninjas.

    Robert clearly knows more then he lets in on, like his intersperced chinese short fables and what have you.

    I wasn't offended by this book but I don't know anything about martial arts so there. I think it's good for a laugh at least cheers, Johnr
