Edge Books: Hollywood Action Heroes series.
These slim biographies focus on the Hollywood action heroes' upbringing and years of hard work as they rose to their eventual success in films such Avatar (Saldana) and Captain America (Evans). The many red-carpet photos and movie stills are oddly cropped and overlaid with loud graphics; quotes and "Fast Facts" supplement the serviceable texts. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Edge Books: Hollywood Action Heroes titles: Zoe Saldana and Chris Evans.
