The Last Action Heroes: The Triumphs, Flops, and Feuds of Hollywood's Kings of Carnage by Nick de Semlyen

funny informative lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

4.5

If you grew up in the 80s watching action movies, then this is the book for you. It's a great feeling of nostalgia as the author covers and discusses the films of the giants of 80s action: Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Jackie Chan, Van Damme, Lundgren, Norris and Seagal. The ups and downs of their careers, the triumphs and the disasters. I admit I've seen a lot of these movies, fewer of the direct to video ones, but I can still watch Rocky II or Terminator, and get that old thrill of an action movie done right.
