A good read for sure...but don't expect this to be a read on the full life of Ralph Macchio...but rather I'd consider more of a biography of the Karate Kid and Cobra Kai.

This is for anyone who ever wanted to know everything about the Karate Kid franchise including Cobra Kai. He takes the reader on a behind the scenes look at how the actors were chosen and how everything developed to the cult following the series continues to have today....and also attempts to establish a link between the original movie trilogy and the Cobra Kai franchise.

Interesting book on the one and only Henry Winkler and how opposite he is from his alter-ego, the Fonz from Happy Days. But Happy Days isn't all what Henry is about as one reads on....

John Stamos, aka Uncle Jesse from Full House, and his book on his life.....wild boy he is!

Good read on one of the stars of the hit Saturday morning series, Saved By the Bell, Dustin Diamond. Its the good, bad, and ugly of growing up a child Hollywood star

The story of Ukranian Dance Star Val Chmerkovskiy, from his coming to America to his current status as dancer on the hit show Dancing With the Stars....

Good autobiography on Ginger Zee....current chief meterologist on ABC....

Good book that Carol Burnett wrote about her experiences an her show....the guest stars and behind the scenes stories that the reader might now have known....

A book on Father Mychal Judge, the Franciscan priest who was also chaplain for the New York Fire Department and also, sadly, one of the first casualties of 9/11 when the Twin Towers in New York City.

A delightful book on one of Australia's own, Olivia Newton John. Some might know her as the country singer of the early 1970s...others might know her as the pop singer of the 80s....and still others might know her as the actress who wowed audiences next to John Travolta in Grease! which she covers in this great book.

Good book so far on Charlotte Rae. She is probably best known as Mrs. Garrett from Diff'rent Strokes and from Facts of Life,, but that is only a small part of her acting career.

An excellent book on a transplant to Fargo, ND and his experience in this smaller city in Eastern North Dakota.
