| cmetz's Full Review: Lung Cheng, Jackie Chan, Jeff Yang - I Am Jackie C... |
Excellent and absorbing!! I have tried to get patrons who prefer non-fiction literature to read this book, yet they do not seem to be able to get past the fact that he is an actor. Even when I tantalize them with the fact that he was raised in the Chinese Opera House, they still seem to think the book is not intellectual enough. I reiterate that this is a must read, not just for Jackie Chan fans but for anyone interested in different cultures. I also think that it would make a good biographical study for high school students. Few students today have the ambition and self-determination of Jackie Chan. I was surprised at how well written the book is. The tone of the novel is conversational, like Chan is sitting close by telling you his story. His language is clear and concise--especially for someone who says that he cannot speak English well and that it frustrates him when he stumbles over his lines. The pictures in the book are also an extra bonus. I loved it!
