This review of my well-received new novel, "Adventures Of A Young Kung Ku Legend," inspired by the life of Bruce Lee as a teenager in Hong Kong, was posted on Amazon by Hollywood executive (Sony TV, Fox Cable, Game Show Network and more) Steve Labang.

By Alex Ben Block

This is Brad Chi, the hero of "Adventures Of A Young Kung Fu Legend," a leader among his friends, who join him studying Wing Chun Kung Fu, and take on a dangerous organized crime gang.

Steve also wrote about it on his entertaining blog (Kung Fu Pander? – Leblanguage). Steve gave my novel Five Stars, the highest ranking available on Amazon books.

"Everybody’s Kung Fu Fighting—Or At Least Should Read How Brad Chi Does It"

"Alex Ben Block has been writing compelling and insightful articles as long as I’ve been in media. He has a particular passion for all things Bruce Lee and Kung Fu, though one would not expect it at first glance. But exceptional writers immerse themselves in worlds in a manner that compels a reader to accompany them on their journey, and via the world of Brad Chi we are drawn into his, that of the legend that served as a template and, indeed, Block’s. It’s a thrill ride that leaves a reader energized and optimistic, and indeed looking forward to more."

Steve 'Lebang: "Order Alex’s best-selling book and delve into the life of the actual Bruce Lee while you’re at it."

Steve quoted Block with more of the background behind the acclaimed novel : "A legend is not born in victory—but forged in discipline, danger, and destiny. Set against the vibrant, volatile streets of 1950s Hong Kong, The Adventures of a Young Kung Fu Legend is a sweeping coming-of-age novel inspired by the spirit of martial arts pioneers and the philosophy behind true mastery.

"Brad Chi is a gifted teenage martial artist, dancer, and rising film star navigating a world of tradition, temptation, and violence. Trained in the ancient art of Chin Gar Kung Fu, Brad must balance family expectations, cultural upheaval, rival gangs, and his own moral compass as his reputation grows—and enemies begin to circle. Told through the eyes of his younger brother, the novel blends martial arts action, historical fiction, crime drama, and emotional depth, tracing Brad’s journey from talented youth to formidable legend. Along the way, readers are immersed in secret societies, forbidden rivalries, old-world philosophy, and the cost of honor in a rapidly changing world.

This 1973 book is still sought after by collectors and is available on the Internet at well over its original price.

Block first wrote about Bruce Lee shortly after his sudden death This book became a global blockbuster, selling over four million copies in nine international editions.
