Reviews
"There is no harder working man in Hollywood than Samuel L. Jackson, and Gavin Edwards' addictive book is a deep dive into every twist and turn of his epic life and career--from Pulp Fiction and Jurassic Park to Snakes on a Plane ."-- Andy Greene, author of The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s, "A heady title that chronicles the life of a heady man....The beauty of Bad Motherf*cker is not just the content, but the actual setup and look of the book itself....The book reads smoothly, and there's nothing like imagining the words said in Jackson's pointed, '70s funk speak....Edwards takes care to give credit where credit is due, which only speaks more highly of the subject of the book. Samuel L. Jackson is an enigmatic American dream and Bad Motherf*cker solidifies his title as the King of Cool."-- Black Girl Nerds, "A rollicking, expletive-filled look at the life and career of 'The King of Cool'.... Edwards is especially adept in his handling of Jackson's personal life, including his triumph over cocaine addiction and involvement in the civil rights movement. This highly entertaining consideration of the prolific actor is long overdue." -- Publishers Weekly (starred), "Samuel L. Jackson has blessed more than 100 films with his intensity and target-seeking line delivery--so much swagger, Marvel remodeled a superhero in his likeness--and Gavin Edwards' page-turning almanac, crammed with insights, is the map for mainlining those thrills, the shepherd to guide your righteous ass through the valley of darkness."-- Sean Howe, author of Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, " Bad Motherfucker is as cool and smooth as Samuel L. Jackson himself. Gavin Edwards is an insightful biographer and pop culture analyst who knows how to unearth key details that shine a new light on the most beloved of subjects."-- Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, author of Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything, "I didn't know half this stuff--especially the golf stories--and I worked with the bad motherfucker! Sam Jackson is a national treasure." -- Stel Pavlou, screenwriter of Formula 51 and host of Hunting Atlantis on Discovery
