Vern, the self-styled 'outlaw film critic' is described by Hellboy director Guillermo Del Toro as "equal parts Hell's Angels and Pauline Kael... a national treasure!" Now Vern unleashes his magnum opus: an in-depth study of the world's only aikido instructor turned movie star/director/writer/blues guitarist/energy drink inventor, the ass-kicking auteur Steven Seagal. "A book that'll shake the very foundations of film criticism, break their wrists and then throw them through a window."
Vern's style is casual and conversational.

Full ReviewAt a certain point, Vern’s detail can be exhausting however; at over 400 pages, the book just feels way too long.
Full ReviewIt's during this section that the book dragged in parts. . .I found myself getting tangled and unengaged.
