"I found this book at the right time of my life, when I was puzzling over my spiritual mindset. While I'm not a follower of the Tao of Wu, The RZA's story, the connections he made, the levels of development to which he admitted, and the quotes from others proved very useful in my own development. Considering that I found this book remainered one day when I was in a very picky mood for for something different, and I consider that significant."

"I love Bennu's inspirational quips on Twitter, so finding an entire book on them was gold. I've read to others from it, and they've been impressed as well."

"Written by a Brit, so some of the current event-related strips may go over some reader's heads. Many of the pop-culture references are hysterical though, and the bunnies own world is beautiful, strange, and fueled with tea."

"Ellis' cantankerous , reluctant British narrator is a wonderful counterpoint for this - and I don't throw this word around lightly - zany, kinky, road-trip sleuthing expedition across America."
