Pros: Entertaining, should be read in spurts.
Cons: Lots of profanity and aggression. Rated "G" - NOT.
The Bottom Line: Read at your own risk. This isn't for the faint of heart.

“My New Fighting Technique is Unstoppable” (MNFTIU for short) by David Rees is hilarious. I agree with the other reviewers when they said MNFTIU is senseless however that’s the point of the book. It wasn’t fashioned to follow the outline of a “normal” book. To understand MNFTIU, you need to know a little bit about the author and his intentions with MNFTIU.
David Rees draws clip art comics for Rolling Stones magazine, plays in a band, and works temp jobs where he finds his inspiration for his comics. MNFTIU is based on the clip arts he collected while working at a university community health department. This is where he found Karate Snoopy, Circulatory Man, and the ambulance drivers. The fixation with fighting and technique which is mentioned over and over again is from Rees’ fascination with rap music. His characters are like rappers when they freestyle (rap). Rappers battle each other with the skillfulness of their words. The one with the best “fighting technique” emerges victorious.
This is a fun book to read if you do so with an open mind. If you’re expecting to read it like Calvin & Hobbes or The Peanuts then you’ll be disappointed. If you like South Park or even The Simpsons, there’s a good chance MNFTIU will appeal to you. You can find samples of Rees’ MNFTIU at http://unstoppable.com. He also has other works such as “Get Your War On” which can be viewed at http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/home.html. All the royalties from this book are donated to the Adopt a Landmine charity dedicated to landmine clearance in Afghanistan. So even if you don’t like his comics, you have to appreciate his contributions.
