Sean O'Connell has written a couple of books that I really enjoyed, so when I saw this one available for request, I jumped on it. It tells the story of Bruce Willis's career as told through excellent discussion and review of movies across his career interspersed with tidbits of great trivia that maintains excellent concentration and focus, never dwelling too long on any one movie. Highly recommended and I can't wait to see what subject Mr. O'Connell will tackle next.

Special Thanks to Globe Pequot and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.

"What took you so long?" asks Julia Roberts's whey-faced death row inmate. "Traffic was a bitch!" quips her last-minute rescuer, a gun-toting Bruce Willis in the final scene of the film within a film in Robert Altman's great Hollywood satire, The Player.
Now ill-health has now brought a sad premature end to Bruce Willis's film career, this book from Sean O'Connell takes another look at his prolific and varied back catalogue. The book is organised on thematic terms and covers all the highs (Die Hard, Pulp Fiction, Twelve Monkeys, The Sixth Sense) as well as the lows (Hudson Hawk, Bonfire of the Vanities, North, most of his later career). Despite grossly overeating the notoriously dreadful sequel, Ocean's 12, O'Connell provides a good general summary of Bruno's life's work.

If you like Bruce Willis and want to know all about his career, this is the book for you. I didn't realize how many things he had been in. Very well written and easy to read.

Thank you NetGalley and Applause Publishing for my E-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A really interesting and enjoyable read.
I didn’t realise how many films he had been in and I learned so much.
Excellent photographs of Bruce’s career were also included which really added to the book
Thanks to NetGalley, Sean O Connell and Globe Pequot for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review

If you enjoy being a movie nerd, you’ll love this book! It’s based around the movies and characters picked by Bruce Willis, similarities between some of his roles, the people he worked with, and so much more. Enjoy a remarkable career of movies through the acting of Bruce Willis, including capsule reviews of every film he was in.

Beyond excited to share my thoughts on this beautiful book about one of the best actors of our time. I cannot wait to share many more thoughts soon. Slight delay due to being in the hospital.
