About book De Weg Van Het Zwaard (2000)

I just read The Way of the Sword by Chris Bradford. In this epic novel, British samurai-in-training Jack Fletcher struggles with prejudice, ninja, and his rival Kazuki who believes that gaijin, or foreigners, do not belong in Japan. In this installment of the series, Jack also enters the Circle of Three trials. If he passes them, he will be chosen to compete in the three challenges of Mind, Body and Spirit to determine if he is worthy enough to learn the Two Heavens, a legendary technique taught by the great samurai Masamoto. My favorite part of this book is probably when Jack fights Kazuki in their town's streets because it was full of action and suspense, like all of their epic battles. Kazuki almost drowned Jack, and when he thought he had killed him he was worried he'd gone to far. But to his surprise, Jack jumped out from the deep puddle he was in and kicked Kazuki in the jaw. I really thought Jack had actually died and I was VERY surprised when this happened. I believe Chris Bradford wrote this book to inform people about Japan's culture and society in a fun way. Overall, I think this book is exciting and is also educational in some ways.I think Jack is a lot like me because his name is Jack, he worries a lot, and he is independent. I think one of the things I learned from the book is always be patient and never take something for granted, which Sensei Yamada teaches the young samurai with his various quotes. Finally, I would definitely recommend this book to other readers because it is very suspenseful and action-packed. At sometimes it can be a little gruesome, so just be aware of that. Also, read the first book in the series (Way of the Warrior) before you read this installment because you won't understand anything. So, go to a library right now and get the first book. NOW! This book was fantastic. Definately a great follow-up to the first book! Jack, after being stranded in Japan and losing his father to the most brutal ninja out there, Dragon Eye, has to fight his way into the Circle of Three. Not only is it obvious that he dosen't belong there, but he has to deal with the constant torture of Kazuki & his friends. Jack has to prove to his friends, Kazuki, and himself that he has what it takes to learn the Two Heavens. Along the way he will test his strength, loyalty, and bravery. Will Jack succeed? Read and find out!:)I read this book about two months ago and absolutely loved it. This is a different style than what I'm used to, but I loved every minute of the book. It was action packed, emotional, mind bottling, and FUN. After reading this, I just HAD to get the 3rd book. Which I read, and now I'm onto the 4th. Im a very busy teen, but I will stop and read this series the minute I have the chance to! :)
