All done with volume one of that book and it is indeed good.
What people can't seem to understand about kanji is that you need to study them in a rational manner. Learning all the readings and the writing and the various uses in one go is fucking insane.
Anyone learning kanji will(Or atleast SHOULD unless they are superhuman or masochistic) create a method on their own similar to Heisig's sooner or later anyway to remember how to write/remember the kanji. So you might as well save yourself the headache and in the least work with the radicals and some short mnemonic stories(or just breaking down the kanji into manageable pieces like person(人)+tree(木)＝rest(休) if they ever want to become fluent in the japanese writing system that is.
