Críticas

"A martial arts Nick Hornby, Miller is illuminating about the ability to transform oneself no matter what the circumstances" (The Times)

"Easygoing but unflippant, formless yet rigorous. Solid reporting and sumptuous storytelling. Miller's is an American voice attractive to Brits" (Tim Birch The Guardian)

"I loved Davis Miller's The Tao of Bruce Lee, a book about hero worship" (Tony Parsons, author Man and Boy Daily Mail)

"This fantastic second book by Miller runs deeper than an account of the author growing up as a 'karate kid' in the early 1970s. It is equally a study of the nature and role of the hero in popular culture, a poignant and unusual coming-of-age story, and an informative biography of Bruce Lee" (Ted Leventhal Booklist)

"Davis Miller continues to invent a powerful new form of writing" (Richard Martyn Toronto Star)

Reseña del editor

Just weeks after completing Enter the Dragon, his first vehicle for a worldwide audience, Bruce Lee - the self-proclaimed world's fittest man - died mysteriously at the age of thirty-two. The film has since grossed over $500 million, making it one of the most profitable in the history of cinema, and Lee has acquired almost mythic status.

Lee's was a flawed, complex yet singular talent. He revolutionized the martial arts and forever changed action movie-making. As in The Tao of Muhammad Ali, Davis Miller brilliantly combines biography - the fullest, most unflinching and revelatory to date - with his own coming-of-age autobiography. The result is a unique and compelling book.
