Bruce Willis OA is a very educational read that takes about how Bruce Willis grew up and ended up as an actor. He started out having a stutter and mumbling when he talked. This didn't stop him though, he started acting in plays and found it easier to be someone else and then he didn't stutter. Bruce grew up working as a welder and had no real plan in life. A few months after he was hired a guy got blown up while driving past a building that Bruce drove by everyday, he left at the end of the week. Bruce's Latin teacher Grace Dilks knew that Bruce had a career as an actor and she even offered to drive him to Montclair College. His first major role was in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as Brick. He started dating Sherri Rivera and she got him an agent that ended up getting an audition for the T.V. show, Moonlighting , he didn't know it yet, but this was the big break he was looking for. Bruce became a huge party animal and ended up having to go into "therapy." Later he met Demi Moore and they started dating and eventually got married. She stayed by his side through his whole career and he supported her. Willis then launched his movie making career frenzy. Demi and Bruce then had four kids named Scout, Rumer, and Tallulah.

I thought that this book was very interesting and told me stuff about Bruce Willis that I would have never found out without the book. One interesting thing I found out about Bruce Willis was that he had a stutter. This is interesting because in all the movies I've seen him in, he doesn't have any speech issues and then he stated in the book that when he's acting he doesn't have any issues. I also learned that he was in a T.V. show and how he started out as an actor. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about Bruce Willis.
