Age of Cage: Four Decades of Hollywood Through One Singular Career by Keith Phipps
3.0
It was well written, but I expected to learn more about Nick Cage than I actually did. And that's coming from someone who really didn't know much about him to begin with. The book was a lot more focused on the shifts of Hollywood movie making in general. But even that seems half baked. Again I feel like I didn't learn that much.
The book also featured more author opinion in it than was maybe needed.
I think the book would have benefitted from diving deeper into one or two films. The wide scope of Nick's career makes that hard, if you want to cover everything.
The book was just generic, and without a strong voice. And given Nick Cage has such a strong voice in his works, it was a weird mismatch in that aspect.
