This book had me from the very first line and it did not let me go until the very end. Mathilda is such an engaging character and the "voice" of her narration throughout the book is mesmerizing. I have already recommended this book to a few people and I will continue to do so. It was funny and heartbreaking all at once.

Overall I think the book was pretty entertaining. It did seem a bit disjointed in parts though. I am a fan of memoirs of all kinds and I did enjoy this book. I don't think I would recommend it to anyone who didn't have an interest in martial arts.
