Why the flute?
If you want to appreciate the philosophy of a warrior from Asia, it is of course impossible without putting a misterious flute between each chapter.

The music and story telling was fantastic
Loved this even though i'm not a sword fighter or in need of knowing this I still loved learning it and imagining I was back in mid 1600s Japan

Classic for a reason.
The ultimate guide for self governance, growth, and the development of a personal philosophy. This book has been with me for over three decades, and the audio version gives it different dimension. Fantastic.

horrible
The narrator invokes NOTHING of the legendary warrior. This is unlistenable. Give me someone who sounds less like a balding white guy with glasses who has never left his tie and briefcase let alone the USA.
