I personally tried this book, and it really guides you on your RTK fast. There's some sort of story telling for every Kanji that makes it better to remember. The only downside I see here is there's no kun/on reading to them. So you only study those kanji w/ only there english counterparts.
The quote of this book is "First thing first", meaning you have to study the drawing of all the kanji firt before studying it in Japanese.James W. Heisig is boasting he memorize 2000 kanji in just two weeks. I'm not surprise since his methods are effective.
I find it odd, but if your a fast learner, why not. In my case, I'm still searching for other books that has a different strategy for learning kanji that is appropriate for my learning curve, since I get distracted easily by other things. The 3rd book is for the advance level, it makes use of suffixes for each compound kanji so that the reader will remember it more and grouping them to a more appropriate cases.
