Has anyone read the book by Antonio Graceffo?

I'm interested in buying it and just wondering what the reviews are as there are none yet at amazon.ca, barnes, etc.

Maybe, Gene has an opinion of it as he posted snippets here and there on kungfumagazine.com.

Thanks in advance,
Kenton Sefcik

Antonio posts in the Shaolin forum a lot. Do a search.

That book was vanity published (like almost all Shaolin books nowadays) so readers' copies are not available.

Here's the thread on our Shaolin forum (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=26660) - we discussed it extensively there (even though none of us had read it). We were the first to publish Antonio's story on our e-zine. It was later published by BB (slightly revised, and then again in his book (expanded).
