Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-10 00:00:00 Edward Phung There are a few books that I read when I was in middle school and high school and have continued to re-read once every couple years since then. Autumn Lightning is one of these. The book is partly a story of Lowry's own early studies in kenjutsu as a young man, and partly a story of the development of the style in which he studied. But this is not just an interesting book on martial arts; it is a simple good story, thoughtfully and skillfully written, and something about it keeps making me come back for more.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-04 00:00:00 Brian Mangosing This is a great summary of Japanese samurai history through a specific martial arts style lens. Plus, what a great character development of Dave himself. It's books like this that remind me why I love bushido - the personal development inherent in it are extraordinary. I was most surprised to learn it was written in 1985 - felt like it could have been at any time. (That said, Dave's childhood is clearly explained, it's just that the book/experience is sort of timeless.)
