I learned a lot from this slender volume -- what a fascinating human being, and what an immense impact he had in his short life. Well written, moves right along. ( ) I knew this was written for a much younger age group when I picked it up at the library book sale and I already knew a bit about Bruce Lee, but I figured it was a $2.00 per bag sale and the book would help fill up a sack of books. I'm not sure what age range this is recommended for. Maybe ages 8-9? Could be higher or lower depending on the reading skills and/or the interest in the subject matter. I almost gave up on it in the beginning section "Who Was Bruce Lee?" when it had sentences like "What strength Bruce had!", "What speed Bruce had!", and "What power Bruce had!" (Not that I don't agree--and each of these sentences was prefaced with a short story about something Bruce had done that demonstrated this attribute.) I am glad I pressed on. I did learn a few things about Bruce Lee that I hadn't realized before. I hadn't realized he studied philosophy. I hadn't realized that he had many books. I hadn't realized that he had combined a bunch of different disciplines to create Jeet Kun Do (or that some call him the father of modern MMA). I also never realized he'd had a back injury that he had to come back from. I did find it a bit confusing that his movies had different titles in Chinese and English. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:Bruce Lee was a Chinese American action film star, martial arts instructor, filmmaker, and philosopher. His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films elevated the traditional martial arts film to a new level of popularity and acclaim. Through such films as Way of the Dragon and Enter the Dragon, Lee helped to change the way Asians were presented in American films and, in the process, he became an iconic figure known throughout the world. Although he died at the young age of 32, Bruce Lee is widely considered to be the one of the most influential martial artists of all time. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
