| Autor: | Bruce Campbell | |||
| Inhalt: | Bruce Campbell schreibt eine Biographie über sich selbst und das BEVOR Bohlen und Co damit anfingen. Er schreibt über seine Kindheit, Jugend und seinen Werdegang zum B Movie Star; kurz gesagt über sein komplettes Leben. Campbell beschränkt sich aber nicht einfach aufs Aufzählen von Ereignissen, sondern schildert immer wieder lustige Anekdoten (Zum Brüllen sind vor allem die Bildunterschriften) Ein Großteil des Buches beschäftigt sich natürlich mit seinem Schaffen in Hollywood und besonders interessant für Fans sind da natürlich die Berichte zu den Dreharbeiten der Evil Dead Reihe. | |||

Genial. Nur werden die Leute, die mit Bruce Campbell nichts anfangen können, mit diesem Buch genauso wenig anfangen können. Aber diese Leute 'verirren' sich wohl auch weniger auf diese Seite. Ein weiterer Minuspunkt: In Deutschland nie erschienen und so nur übers Internet zu bekommen (Oben ein Link). Aber das Buch ist es wert. | |||
| Rückentext: | Okay, so at least you're interested enough to
pick up this book and look inside. I think you and I are going to get
along just fine. Life is full of choices. Right now, yours is wheter or not to buy the autobiography of a middle-grade, kind of harmm actor. Am I supposed to know this guy? you think to yourself. No, and that's exactly the point. Bookstores are chock-full of household-name actors and their high stakes shenanigans. I don't want to be a spoilport, but we've all been down that road before. Case in point: look to your left - see that Judy Garland book? You don't need that, you know plenty about her already - great voice, crappy life. Now look to your right at hte Charlston Heston book. You don't need to cought up hard-earned dough for that either. You know his story too - great voice, crappy toupee. The truth is that thought you might not have a clue who I am, there are countless working stiffs like me out there, grindling away every day at the wheel of fortune. If chins could kill. Confesions of a B Movie Actor is my first book, and I invite you to ride with me through the choppy waters of blue-collar Hollywood. Okay, so buy the damned book already, and read like the wind! Best, Bruce Campbell P.S.: If the book sucks, at least there are gobs of pictures, and they're not crammed in the middle like all those other actor books. |
