For Your Consideration: Keanu Reeves by Larissa Zageris, Kitty Curran
3.0
For Your Consideration: Keanu Reeves is a short work of pop culture nonfiction. Imagine if a teen magazine celebrity profile issue grew up and went to college. That would be this book. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's lots of endearing content and humorous passages. As someone who likes Keanu Reeves a lot, but never enough to follow his story closely, I did learn a few things about him and about the movies he's been in. I was especially interested to learn about how toxic masculinity and racism played roles in his career trajectory, and how he treats those around him in real life. He sounds like a terrific guy, who has overcome a lot in his life, and let it make him a better person.
Most sections are relatively short. The illustrations are nice, and the quizzes are silly fun. Perhaps my favorite humorous section was the romantic fanfic about John Wick in Paris. I laughed a lot at that. Some sections, especially the last two, felt a little longer than necessary. But overall it was a light, simple read that helped me learn more about Keanu Reeves and like him even more than I did already. I should have expected nothing less from one of the authors of My Ladies' Choosing: an Interactive Romance Novel, which was silly genius. I see that there's a book in this same series being released this year about the Chrises, and I already eagerly awaiting it (although it will not be by the same authors, I think. which is a little sad.). Overall a pleasant, mostly humorous read if you want to while away some time and have a fondness for Keanu Reeves.
Thank you to #NetGalley and Quirk Books for sharing an advanced copy of #ForYourConsideration Keanu Reeves with me. This is my honest opinion.
