4.0 out of 5 stars Nicolas Cage - An Aussies view, May 31, 2001

By	Sandra Bell "robsan_bell" (Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews

As a new admirer of N. Cage (Coppola)I found the book a great read. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of personal details. It also seems apparent that the author has not yet met with Nicolas to gain some true insight into the man and his thoughts. A good start for anyone like me wanting to know the basics.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book shows Nicolas Cage, the Actor, March 15, 1999

By A Customer

It gives you an inside look at how Nic prepares for a role and much background on each of his movies. I was a little disappointed that it did not share really anything about his personal life, except it did share the relationship between the Coppolla's. If you haven't seen all of his movies, you will want to watch each one after reading this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars nicolas <<gage>>, January 7, 2000

i personally think that there should be a little bit more information on real authors like Nicolas Gage, who a veery influential writer who has written books such as The Mafia is not an Equal Opportunity Employer and Reflections of Greece. Both books were recieved very well in the literary world, unlike Nicolas Cage's book.
