# Be More Keanu - Hardcover

by **James King** (Author)

**Keanu Reeves: actor, musician, dog lover. He's the internet's boyfriend. The poetic petrolhead. The guru on a surfboard. Part samurai, part samaritan. He is, very simply, 'The One'.**

_'_James has been my movie guru for years and now he's my spiritual guru too! From now on I'm going to ask myself: 'What would Keanu do?_'_  
**Jo Whiley**

In this hilarious book of pocket philosophy, film critic and Keanu fan James King reveals what makes Mr Reeves so special. He unpacks iconic films from the _Bill & Teds_ to the _John Wicks_, as well as the star's own free-spirited life, showing us why the great man with the great hair has all the answers.

And how _everyone_ can #**bemorekeanu**.

_'_A handsome, cool, enigmatic Gen X'er who never seems to age, James King is the perfect man to write about Keanu Reeves._'_  
**Stephen Merchant**
