Description
Critics have long debated Keanu Reeves’s career, but one thing is for certain: over the course of thirty years, the seemingly immortal actor has constantly subverted Hollywood stereotypes and expectations of A-listers, without (always) sacrificing commercial success. He’s the type to start his own publishing company, quote Hamlet, give away his salary to film crews, and generate memes through the simple act of eating lunch. Along the way, he has transcended the ironic gaze of the internet to become the true object of its affection, prompting a cultural phenomenon known as the Keanussance.
Composed of five critical essays and fun extras, For Your Consideration: Keanu Reeves looks at the distinct phases of the legendary actor’s career, from Bill and Ted to the John Wick franchise, and examines the ways in which Keanu strives to be excellent and kind in work and life.

This book is glorious. This book gets me. If this book isn’t a part of a series, it needs to be. If it is, there needs to be one for Joe Mazzello and David Harbour and I volunteer as tribute to help.
I’m not even the biggest fan of Keanu Reeves and this book is my favourite possession. It reads like someone on my wavelength and humour level wrote it and that, in case you’re wondering, is a massive compliment.
It’s an eclectic anthology of everything that makes Reeves the Internet’s boyfriend. From tracking his life and work to naming and shaming all the critics who put our celluloid boyfriend down.
It’s illustrated, separated and lovingly crafted. It will make the perfect gift for anyone who has ever mentioned the man’s name. I certainly know of a few people who will be seeking out copies.
