LOOK WHAT’S OUT NOW!
This illustrated collection of humorous essays and fun extras makes the case for one of our most iconic celebrities, from Bill and Ted to John Wick. For an actor who’s been in so many mega-hits and equally mega misses, it can be tough to track Keanu Reeves's accomplishments. But true fans know that Keanu is so much more than his Bill and Ted persona, both onscreen and off. During his long career—over 30 years, though you wouldn’t know it from his immortal looks—he has constantly subverted Hollywood stereotypes and expectations. He's the type to start his own publishing company, reread Hamlet, write a grown-up children’s book, photobomb people’s weddings, eat lunch alone in the park while looking very sad, and give away his salary to the film crew. For Your Consideration: Keanu Reeves examines the ways in which Keanu strives to be kind and excellent in work and in life. The authors also explore various Internet conspiracies about his age, help you identify which Sad Keanu meme you are, give you the Keanu and Winona Ryder fanfic your heart desires, and much, much more.

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.

Just One More Page: September 7 - Book Circle It’s a tiny circle, but it’s a circle lol - I just don’t have the patience to make some of the book art that others do. Kudos to you all!
My Lady’s Choosing is the cheesy, choose-your-own-adventure novel I wanted and will continue to seek out. I also love how satirical this book is about regency romance tropes. At the same time, it was incredibly predictable and included the most ridiculously bad innuendo I’ve ever seen.
⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Dark Side of the ‘Nu
Spooky season is here and almost gone—and what can be scarier than one of the world’s best-loved and most-confirmed Good Men showing off his bad side? We’re talking, of course, about Keanu Reeves!
Wait, stop screaming! No need to race to your nearest tweet machine to see if he’s been cancelled! He definitely hasn’t! We just want to shine a light on the man’s dark side...on screen.
“Villains have such great passion, and it’s uncomplicated,” Keanu said in his Meet the Filmmaker event for Man of Tai Chifor Apple in 2013. “The protagonist is always like ‘I don’t know...maybe...I’m searching...I’ve gotta figure it out.’ That’s why the villains get all the great lines where it’s like ‘Hey. Dummy.’”
So hey, dummies. Though Keanu is often the heroes of our hearts and devices, we thought pumpkin spice time would be the right time to take a hearty sip of some of Keanu’s bad guy roles.Try these five on for size.
THE DREAM, THE BAD BATCH (2016)
8Evil wears a silk robe and a mustache in this slow, trippy, post-apocalyptic nightmare. Keanu’s chill-villainous DJ, “The Dream”, to get girls to sell their souls to him in exchange for a comfortable life and all the instant ramen they can eat.
DON JOHN, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (1993)
Keanu brings new meaning to the phrase “hot pants” as Don John, the bearded (!) devil prince of pouting hellbent on breaking up all the fun he can’t have out of sheer jealousy and spite. This Shakespearean mainstay ALSO features Denzel Washington and Emma Thompson. A plain-dealing villain--and a damn fine one.
DONNIE BARKSDALE, THE GIFT (2000)
Keanu plays a bit of backwoods rough who hates witches, women, and Cate Blanchett narc-ing on him for doing crimes. Keanu turns in a very nuanced and chilling performance in this supernatural thriller, written by Tom Epperson and Billy Bob Thornton (based in part on his mother’s experiences), directed by Sam Raimi, and featuring an all-star cast.
DONAKA MARK, MAN OF TAI CHI (2013)
Some might call a bloodthirsty ringleader of underground death matches hellbent on profiting from and corrupting the souls of the naïve and desperate “a bad guy.” Others still might call him “eventually pwned by Tiger Chen.” Fun fact: this film marks Keanu’s directorial debut, and first major collaboration with Tiger Chen since their work together on The Matrix movies.
KEANU REEVES, ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE (2019)
“I dare Marcus to strike me.” Them’s fighting words, and Keanu’s cameo in this rom-com comes right before one of the goofiest, snit-fit fight sequences ever committed to film--and right before the most hilarious dinner scene. Watch and, like Randall Park, you might want to punch Keanu Reeves, too!
ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Larissa Zageris and Kitty Curran are a creative dream team. Their latest book, For Your Consideration: Keanu Reeves is out October 15 from Quirk Books. They live in Chicago and they love Keanu Reeves.
