Mike said: " I had started reading this book a number of months ago but put it down. Just picked it back up from where I left off...

"A good read for sure...but don't expect this to be a read on the full life of Ralph Macchio...but rather I'd consider more of a biography of the Karate Kid and Cobra Kai." — Jan 31, 2025 07:35PM
