Due to restrictions on the borrowing of the book, I was unable to get it all read before I had to return the hardcopy.

What I did make it thru was a bit too detailed for my taste. He began by explaining where he was at in life, what his motivation was for enrolling in the program, his progressive training leading up to the program and a bit of the beginning of the program before I had to return the book. Within this part the author goes into incredible detail of the people he lives, trains, and socializes with and the world and culture he's living in.

I think the amount of detail is a mix of sweet and sour. It slows down the story so much that my enthusiasm waned alot but that level of details did hold many moments of humor and created rich descriptions of the people. There are alot and I did get confused with who was who once he began his aikido classes.
