Comprehensive book about the enigmatic Keanu
All one ever needs or wants to know about Keanu Reeves, one of Hollywood's most intriguing actors, can be found in this book by Brian J. Robb. Originally published in 1997, it was updated two years ago and contains a section on "The Matrix" as well as entailing his (then) upcoming movies such as "Thumbsucker", a newly-released film I saw recently.

Keanu is "sui generis". There is no other actor quite like him and I mean that in a good way. Like other actors he's had his moments of triumph and suffered from films that didn't do well, but Keanu seems to emerge from all of this stronger and with a larger range of roles each time. There have always been critics who find Keanu less than convincing as an actor, but in the many films in which I've seen him, Keanu is always compelling and often displays real talent. (If I had to pick a favorite, I most liked Keanu in "Speed")

It's hard to imagine a biography about someone who is just in his early forties, but author Robb has combed his subject's life and found much to relate. Besides the complete list of Keanu's films, about which Robb goes into great detail, the actor's life apart from the screen is covered as well. It is a good thing to know that most of the actors and actresses who have worked with Keanu find him to be a very nice guy who tends to prefer a quieter life off-camera...that is, when he's not bike riding or performing with his band, Dogstar.

This book is replete with photographs which make a wonderful addition. The writing is crisp and although Robb's book is largely informational, he steers clear of a "kiss and tell" biography. For those of us who enjoy Keanu Reeves, I highly recommend this book.

Great book ~ even if Keanu hasn't contributed to it!
What can you say about a man who is so enigmatic and shuns any attempts to have his private live revealed...

Well, Mr Robb does a good job of revealing the Reevester as best he can, but asking those around him...

I like this book ~ it's accurate [yeah, what do I know about Keanu ~ A LOT!!] and shows him in a favourable light.

Us fans ain't got a lot to go on and I am pleased that someone has made an effort to get to know The One.

It is up to date as well, with revisions made to co-incide with Keanu's up and coming movies.

AND HAS LOTS AND LOTS OF DROOL WORTHY PIX OF KEANU so it's a must for the fans...

And....

If ya want to get a sense of what Keanu is all about ~ BUY THIS BOOK!!

a good bio
This book is well researched and considering the enigmatic subject, has quite a lot of information. It will take you from childhood to 1997 and "The Devil's Advocate", and it has many wonderful photos. It alsohas a very detailed filmography which I have found useful, and for Keanufans, the face on the cover will be reason enough to own this book !

An Excellent Dudestud!
Brian Robb's fan-oriented book, "Keanu Reeves:An Excellent Adventure", admirably fulfills its purpose.It supplies Keanu's numerous fans with his life's story, and pics galore.There is a pic ofthis excellent dudestud in black leather pants and boots which will takeyour breath away, whether you're gay or straight!

I highly recommend thisbook to all fans of the Ke-Master.He rules! ... Read more

VERY POOR QUALITY
I am a Keanu Fan, but this book is a VERY POOR, and I do mean POOR QUALITY book.It looks like someone XEROXED the book 100 times and decided to sell it for [$$].It is not worth that much money - maybe [$].If you are a big fan of Keanu, there are better quality and better books out there.BUY at your own risk - it costs a lot to return the item!

Keanuette
Oh, my this book was great. Always rememeber that Keanu is a very secret man and very fine. I now have pictures of keanu Reeves that his girlfriendprobably doesn't even have. He look so good and has a good family and life.I have seen almost every movie that Keanu has been in and he is a verysimple guy and VERY FINE GUY. I want to read all of Keanu's books. Fromthis book I learned alot about his family, his films, and him. I loved thebook.THE BOOK ARE GREAT HE IS FINE One day i hope to met him.

a little Keanu is better than no Keanu
This is mostly about the early career of this terrific actor, and it'sfairly well written and researched (though there are some errors) , with atotal of 12 photos of him from his films...this small volume isn't exactlyDostoevsky, but it contains over 40 pages of Keanu, so how can you not loveit ! York Membery closes the book by saying "of course, nothing iscertain in the fickle world of the movies. But whatever happens, it seemslikely that Keanu Reeves will be around for a long time". A very longtime...he's the stuff legends are made of !

Any book featuring Keanu Reeves is a must read!
So, it's not the best book in the world, who cares! It's about Keanu and although there is little out there on this beloved man (he is a very private person), anything we can get our hands on is a bonus......

I'vehad a little version of this book (published in UK) for a while.I boughtthe US version as it has bigger (maybe not better, but BIGGER!)pictures.

It is Keanu's bio in a nutshell.Could do with revision, butwhat the hey!

Lots of pix of The Reevester.Good or any fan!

Go andbuy this...!

Keanu Reeves is a popular actor, but he has not adopted the typical lifestyle of a film star. He does not own a house or a car, rather he lives in hotels and rides a motorbike. His success in films like Speed and The Matrix have guaranteed his status in Hollywood, but there is a lot more to Keanu than his films. ... Read more

Excerpt: Kurt Donald Cobain (pronounced , ; February 20, 1967 c. April 5, 1994) was an American singer-songwriter and musician, best known as the lead singer and guitarist of the rock band Nirvana. With the lead single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from Nirvana's second album Nevermind (1991), Nirvana entered into the mainstream, popularizing a subgenre of alternative rock called grunge. Other Seattle grunge bands such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden also gained wider audiences, and as a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on radio and music television in the United States during the early-to-middle 1990s. Nirvana was considered the "flagship band of Generation X", and frontman Cobain found himself reluctantly anointed by the media as the generation's "spokesman." Cobain was uncomfortable with the attention he received, and placed his focus on the band's music, believing the band's message ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=16707 ... Read more
