Description
A tillpoint humour celebration of an icon by movie critic James King
Keanu Reeves—actor, musician, dog lover. He's the internet's boyfriend. The poetic petrolhead. The guru on a surfboard. Part samurai, part samaritan. He is, very simply, 'The One'.
James has been my movie guru for years and now he's my spiritual guru too! From now on I'm going to ask myself—'What would Keanu do?'
Jo Whiley
In this hilarious book of pocket philosophy, film critic and Keanu fan James King reveals what makes Mr Reeves so special. He unpacks iconic films from the Bill & Teds to the John Wicks, as well as the star's own free-spirited life, showing us why the great man with the great hair has all the answers.
And how everyone can #bemorekeanu.
A handsome, cool, enigmatic Gen X'er who never seems to age, James King is the perfect man to write about Keanu Reeves.
Stephen Merchant
