THE KARATE KID

Besides the fact that my favourite authors as a young teenager among many were Stephen King and John Fowles, then my secret faible was The Karate Kid! Both the movies, the original ones of course with Ralph Macchio who then was an almost middle-aged man playing a teenager who could not kick above waistheight (sorry Ralph), and also the books, I don't know who wrote them, which I look so forward to reading for my boys. Great litterature - definitely not - However, you never go wrong with a banal time of dramaturgical wax on, wax off.
