Age of Cage

I certainly didn't expect this book to blow my socks off but it's still extremely weird. The first 20% is about the Coppolas, which, while relevant (and more interesting that Cage, honestly) is not that important to Cage's journey as an actor. Then the author just spends a lot of time putting their own opinion in as if it's fact- saying Con-Air was subpar, or that Cage brought nothing to certain roles. Just weird. I expected more of a biography and while it's technically that, I feel like I could write this book with a few weeks time and access to Wikipedia.

My only gripe is the author got a couple of easily-checkable facts wrong. He mentions Cage's Con Air character having a son, but it's his daughter he's hoping to meet. And the author calls Gone in Sixty Seconds an “R-rated” feature but that movie is PG-13. So it makes me wonder what else he got wrong. Still a fun read and made me want to have a Nicolas Cage marathon!
