About this ebook

In The Full Burn, acclaimed journalist Kevin Conley goes inside one of the coolest - and most dangerous - jobs in the world. With bravura storytelling and full access to many of the legends of the field, Conley gives a behind-the-scenes view of the stuntman's life: the history, the culture, and the tricks of the trade, showing how-and why-stuntmen do what they do.
He even subjects himself to the stuntman's rite of passage -- the book's eponymous stunt -- in which he is doused in jellied gasoline and set aflame. This is truly immersion journalism at its finest.

    Great read. I started this last night and finished it this morning. Conley found a great balance in the personal stories and in-depth behind the scenes information. I thought he also covered the history of stunts and the future threats of CGI without seeming to get into a checklist or having filler.
