Has anyone else read this book yet? I finished it a few days ago, and I thought it was an excellent read. I think it's a real insight into a culture VERY different from my own (I'm a New Yorker), and had some excellent writing and stories.
And if the description of the Iron Crotch training doesn't make you cringe, then you're a better man than me.

I've been wanting to read this book for quite a while now. I've visited the author's website, read some of the book's excerpts and some of the author's articles. Guy's really cordial too, as I actually asked him some questions recently concerning Shaolin and martial arts training. Indeed, he has posted video clips of various monks and himself on youtube.
