Btw in case anyone has read them and can give their opinions on them, I own a translation by Thomas Cleary and one inside The Complete Musashi translated by Alexander Bennett.

Great novel! seconded for sure, I started reading this when I first started learning kendo.

Keep in mind its a work of fiction, and is often times mixed up with historical fact. if you want something fact-based on Musashi, I highly recommend this book:

its the best translation i've read, it not only contains "the book of five rings" but also Musashi's other works. The Author is an established history professor and kendo instructor.
