A must for all Matrix fans! Newmarket Press; ISBN: 1557044058 

The Devil's Advocate

by Andrew Neiderman. (1997). The movie edition of Mr. Neiderman's 1990 novel, long out of print. Pocket Books ISBN 0-671-01410-2 $5.99 

Keanu Reeves: An Excellent Adventure

by Brian J. Robb. (1997). A paperback book with lots of b&w pictures, it covers Keanu's career through Devil's Advocate. There appear to be no original interviews for this book, and it's quite obvious that the author obtained quite a bit on his information directly from KeanuNet, as well as other pre-existing biographies. Plexus Publishing (UK) ISBN 0-85965-245-9 US $15.95 

Keanu

by Sheila Johnston. (1997). A paperback version of the hardcover edition (see below). Updated for this edition. Pan Books (UK) ISBN 0-330-34382-3 $16.95 

Hollywood Confidential

by Corel Amende. (1997). The sub-title of this book is An Inside Look At The Public Careers And Private Lives Of Hollywood's Rich And Famous. It's an entertaining book, with Keanu mentioned no less than 16 times. Mostly rumor and gossip, but fun nevertheless. Plume/Penguin ISBN 0-452-27791-4 $12.95 

Before They Were Famous: In Their Own Words

by Karen Hardy Bystedt. (1996). Karen Hardy's previous book, The New Breed (see below) is long out of print. This new book is very similar, reusing a lot of the original material. Luckily for us fans, however, she has included mostly new photographs. Thus we have quite a few photos of Keanu (some in color) that were not in the older book, and some of them have never been published before at all. The accompanying interview is a rewritten version of the original, done in September 1987. The layout and design of the book is simply dreadful, but the pictures make it worth the price. General Publishing Group ISBN 1-57544-007-5 $17.95 

Greg Gorman Inside Life

by Greg Gorman. (1997). This large format hardcover book contains those Gorman photos of Keanu made famous by Detour Magazine. Greg really knows how to show off Keanu's assets! Included are four of our favorites, and yes, the nudes are there! Oh, and there are also lots of other great celebrity portraits as well. Rizzoli ISBN 0-8478-1998-1 $75.00 

The Unofficial Keanu Reeves

by York Membery. (1996). This tiny hardcover book (3.25" X 4.24") contains 15 color photos of Keanu and the usual biography, all in 74 pages. Paragon Book Service Ltd. ISBN 0-75251-789-9 $??

Keanu Reeves: An Illustrated Story

by David Bassom. (1996). This large format softcover book is loaded with lots of color photos of Keanu's career. The accompanying text that outlines his career is not based on any new or original interviews. Hamlin (an imprint of Reed Consumer Books Ltd.) ISBN 0-600-58990-0 £9.99 in the UK.

Keanu

by Sheila Johnston. (1996). This hardcover biography of Keanu focuses less on Keanu's private life than on his professional career, and I'm sure Keanu (had he been asked) would prefer it that way. But we do get plenty of details about his career. This is no rehash. Ms. Johnston has conducted many original interviews for the project and spent countless hours in the library. Her resources list is long and detailed, and her Filmography uses production dates, rather than release dates. The more than two dozen photos are mostly familiar, but there were a couple that I had not seen before. Trans-Atlantic Publications ISBN 0-283-06301-7 $39.50 (Sidgwick & Jackson £15.99 in the UK) 

Chain Reaction

a novel by Robert Tine. (1996). Based on the screenplay by Josh Friedman and J.F. Lawton and Michael Bortman. Story by Arne L. Schmidt & Rick Seaman and Josh Friedman. Movie tie-in. No pictures other than the cover. St. Martin's Paperbacks ISBN 0-312-95884-6 $5.99.

Keanu Reeves

by Chris Nickson. (1996). Although billed as "An exclusive look at the private life of Hollywood's most mysterious hunk," you will not find anything exclusive here, or anything that you haven't read before except plot summaries of Keanu's movies that are hardly insightful (and not entirely accurate either). The facts in the book have been compiled from interviews in such magazines as Rolling Stone, US, People, and Vanity Fair, and it is quite obvious that no original interviews of any kind with Keanu or anyone else were conducted for this book. The photos included with the book (in B&W) are almost all studio shots that have been previously well-circulated. St. Martin's Paperbacks ISBN 0-312-95885-4 $5.99.
