Ok, by all of the metrics that matter, this book should have been a slam dunk for me.

1) I LOVE Keanu Reeves (who doesn't, really?)
2) I LOVE the book the authors to this one did previously, "My Lady's Choosing: An Interactive Romance Novel".
3) I LOVE the first book in this series on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

So why didn't I LOVE this book? Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it, but only parts of it. I think the reason it didn't resonate with me is it was too choppy, it didn't have a sustained flow. The book was divided into sections, such as fan-fictions, quizzes and other random things interspersed with almost articles about Keanu. It had interesting facts about him, but it wasn't a smooth narrative.

Also, while the drawn pictures of Keanu were done very well, real pictures here and there would have been nice. I had to go online for my Keanu picture fix that this book caused in me. Not horrible, but it would have been nice to have a few pictures in the book so I didn't have to go online for them.

This isn't a bad book, it is entertaining and it is focused on Keanu Reeves, who is the subject of the book. It is written in such a way that it can be picked up and put down when you don't have a lot of time to read, but do want to read something. So the way it is written in short segments is helpful in that way.

I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants to read more about Keanu Reeves. It's a cute, quick read, though it may lead to hours lost gazing on Keanu's amazingness online. Though one could argue, is that time really lost?

3, not a bad book but it didn't quite work for me, stars.

My thanks to NetGalley and Quirk Books for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

An exceedingly charming book which I foolishly reviewed in tweets at the writers on Twitter.

(Positively. It was for sure positively.)

Also, more books should have Which John Are You? quizzes.

THE OBSESSION WITH KEANU REEVES is real in this collection of essays about the extraordinary actor, Each part did justice to the actor and made me feel like I"m not alone in my love, wonder, and appreciation of this man. Would love to see a part 2, 3, 4 of this series.

A good read about Keanu Reeves. I enjoyed it and learned more about him and his movies. Easy to read and was read very quickly.

A fun little book about Keanu Reeves - I liked the format and found the book witty and interesting. Would make a good series about other actors/persons of note.

For Your Consideration: Keanu Reeves is a short work of pop culture nonfiction. Imagine if a teen magazine celebrity profile issue grew up and graduated from 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, quirky and humorous book that helped me learn more about Keanu Reeves and like him even more than I did already. Perfect if you want to while away some time and have a fondness for Keanu Reeves.

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.).

Thank you to #NetGalley and Quirk Books for sharing an advanced copy of #ForYourConsideration KeanuReeves with me. This is my honest opinion.

This book was so much fun, and made me love Keanu even more than I already did (which was a lot). Now to rewatch the John Wick series for the millionth time!

I thought this was a very entertaining essay about Keanu Reeves. It started with a mini biography about him and then lead into his movie career. It talked about how Hollywood portrayed him as an actor as a heartthrob and a genuine nice person. Plus how he could play the dark roles like John Wick. The pace of the book is a little slow. It is short, but after awhile I'm like is this going to end. And plus it jumped around a lot. But overall not bad.

If you're a casual Keanu Reeves fan or want to know things you can find on the internet - this book will be perfect for you. It's definitely full of praise and adoration for the man.

If you're a super fan, you probably know everything talked about in this book and it might be fun to add to your collection but it doesn't add anything new to one's life.

I read every single word for the first half of the book and then grew bored and ended up skim reading the rest of it. I did see that there are books like this for other actors but I'm pretty sure I'm staying away from them as the read just wasn't worth the waste of time. I mean, I could have been reading any number of the books I own.

I received a copy of this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. An interesting read for all those who love the heck out of Keanu Reeves. It's a little bit historic, a little bit of humor and a little bit biography.

I really liked this short, fun little book about Keanu even though I didn't consider myself a real fan of his. I've always liked him well enough and I've been rather annoyed at how much people always loved to mock him, but I had no idea what an interesting, fabulous, dedicated actor he is. This book is written in a very fun way and I can see how it would probably annoy real fans of Keanu who already knew this stuff. In a way, it's more about the authors and their comedic writing abilities than Keanu, even though he provides them with material in spades.

It turns out I'm a huge fan of Keanu (as an actor and as a human) and never knew it. For those who already were fans and knew a lot about him, this may not be as good of a fit. Expect things like quizzes, fantasy movie plots and lists of Keanu memes, not never-before-known biographical content.

I read a digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

I put together the newspaper's Books section annual gift guide again this season and was delighted to include this book as a selection in The Globe and Mail's massive Best Holiday Gift Books package (December 7, 2019).

A thoroughly entertaining thorough look at the internet's favourite boy. I hadn't realised how often he plays characters with the name John. I wasn't aware of the media response to him pre-internet. I really enjoyed this look into this breathtaking man's life.

Zageris and Curran share their love of Keanu with their book of essays unravelling the mythos behind the star and his pick of films. Written with tongue firmly in the cheek, it does make you look at Keanu beyond the smouldering good looks.

The book is basically a study about Keanu’s film career and the curious choices he makes with each film. It does dip into his charity work and shows what a caring and extraordinary person he is. It runs the gambit from his early days to where he is now in his career and how he always seems to bob back up from some questionable decisions with film making.

It also dips into his theatre career which is little known and although I have enjoyed Keanu films most of the time, it was interesting to hear a new take on his career and it did make me binge watch a few of his films after reading.

Fun book with some fact based information whilst at the same time, it doesn’t really take itself too seriously. Zageris and Curran have written a series of books with other celebrities and although this is the only one I have read, if they are anything like this, they are sure to do well. Very enjoyable.

This book made me laugh out loud at times. There are a lot of running themes and in-jokes, so it's worth it to read all the way through. Keanu is a private person, so there isn't a lot of new or personal info; rather, the focus is on Keanu's interesting career choices. Not just a pretty face and not a dumb surfer dude at all, the authors affirm, Keanu is a hardworking, well-read actor and a genuinely nice person who doesn't take himself too seriously. My least favorite part was the fanfiction, but I can see how it fits into the overall examination of the internet-driven culture that shapes our perceptions of figures like Keanu. I would love to read other works by these authors!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the digital ARC.

This was a quick, fun read with some great insights into Keanu's career and how he has affected and been affected by racism and toxic masculinity.

I loved the humor of this book (and the information! It was interesting!). I’m already a fan of these ladies, and this book lived up to my expectations from them. It was a fun read and I look forward to buying a physical copy to really appreciate it!

He is the one, he is the only, he is the legend.
The angel without wings, the dedicated actor, the embodiment of the "good".
The internet phenomenon, who is loved by everyone: Mr. Keanu Reeves!

"He wears blood like a fine suit. He wears a fine suit beneath blood. His brutal form is wrung and well-written: the lines of his face cut light and kiss shadow; the bow of his broad shoulders braces for the inevitable; his eyes flicker with pain. He's had the shit kicked out of him. He looks like he's kicked the shit out of them, too -whoever they are."

As a fan of both his works and internet memes that pop out every once in awhile showing him in the subway or eating a sandwich alone on a park bench, I was quite tempted to read the book about one of my favorite actors of all time. I have to admit, I expected a biography but it turned out to be a mixture of filmography, analyses of the roles he plays and fan-oriented literature. It was an entertaining read but I had expected much more and got a little disappointed.

I always knew that he was a one special human being bestowed with plenty of good qualities but it has surprised me to learn that he is a voracious reader too. I especially loved the way the author hilariously describes his reading skills:

"He reads voraciously despite being dyslexic. This includes all 1,267,069 words of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, because apparently Keanu doesn't feel he is sad enough."

Well, if you are curious about the famous actor, it will not disappoint you.

Very light and quick read that would be situated to people that rather liked the actor but wouldn't necessarily call themselves unabashed fans. For followers of Keanu's career over the last few decades, there's no new information or insights here at all, but it is still very readable and entertaining enough in many places throughout.

There were plenty of times when reading For Your Consideration, it felt like an E! Keanu Reeves Special in a book format., not necessarily a bad thing at all, but not unmissable by any means.

With thanks to Netgalley and Quirk for the arc.

Thanks to Netgalley and Quirk publishers for a copy of this for an honest review.

Although I was aware of most of the information in the book , I still found this to be an enjoyable read.
Keane, although not the worlds best actor, seems like a decent human being , and so deserves the recognition shown by this book devoted to him.
An ok book to pass the time
