Talk:The Lone Samurai

that's nonsense. you cannot come up with the "first reliable reference" for a 16th century character in 2004. Rather, I imagine, the book is the "first readily available collection of reliable references".

The article says only what the book claims to be, and that is "the first reliable source on Musashi's life"; however, I agree that the article should be reworded to reflect that this is the book's claim and not in accordance with any fact. --Bentonia School 13:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a great work, the book "the lone samurai", and I feel it deserves to be made into a proper movie. Like, where the original Samurai Trilogy left off, because the book really describes Musashi's life after thirty, and also his death. The duel against Kojiro is not the end of Musashi's career, and also the duel vs. the Yoshioka is well described. In terms of authenticity. I know an anime has just been made about Musashi, but this book deserves the Hollywood Treatment sans-fiction (without) just a cool straight up version. This book is filled with awesome anecdotes and cool scenes. Like the death of one of his foster children, and meeting the "real human being" and his death in the cave. Wonderful book.
