I'm not a big fan of the percentile bootstrap, but that reference is a little too cavalier with material that deserves to be treated more rigorously. Chapter 8 of Wasserman's "All of Statistics" is much more careful about outlining the conditions under which the percentile bootstrap will work. Moreover, he works through a specific example that demonstrates that the percentile bootstrap does not generate results that are profoundly different from other methods.
