Striking stills make good visual companion: In the same way that the book does not substitute for the movie, the movie cannot substitute for this "Visual Companion." The book helps enhance and explain what the movie has no time for and would take time to extract from the original lengthy book. The most striking part of this companion is the photographs especially two of them. The first is of the Ent; it is so much fuller than you remember from the movie and could almost be a portrait over your fireplace. Looking at the Ent's translucent eyes and plant like whiskers you would think this is what "The Green Man" should look like. The second striking picture is the two page conflict between Gandalf and the Balrog (read, orange and yellow with a black background.) To add to these pictures is a full 4 page fold out of the highlights of Middle-Earth.
great help: If there are things in the movie you don't quiet get or are a little foggy this book will really help. Great big pictures and good history of Middle Earth. Well put together!
This is the best book iv eva read!(and BESTMOVIE ive seen)!!: I dont care what anyone says i am the Biggest fan of LORD OF THE RINGS AND I MEAN BIGGEST!! I know everything there is to know about that movie and the books so what im tryin to say is that i love it!
Loved It!: I love everything Lord of The Rings so I am probably biased. Still, the pictures are glossy and big. They were the perfect asset to the movie. The way the book describes what goes on in the movie is great also. I read this after watching the movie and it helped me put into perspective everything that took place.
A Great Visual Epic: What an amazing book! When I first bought it, I thought it would have more information in it. As it is, it basically narrates the tale of the Two Towers along with the pictures; but it is a VISUAL companion. These pictures are absolutely incredible--several of them not in the film itself. A must buy!
