I found this book to be a fun and enjoyable companion to the first Lord of the Rings movie, The Fellowship of the Ring. It covers the history of the rings of power and the war against Sauron in the Second Age that was fought with a last alliance of elves and men. There is a section that describes each of the free peoples of Middle Earth: hobbits, men, elves, and dwarves. I enjoyed the Istari section, where it talks about Saruman the White and Gandalf the Grey. This book includes lots of beautifu...more
I didn't have nearly enough time with this wonderful book, but I had just enough to look over all the pictures. I enjoyed them! Though they should have included more of Aragorn (you always need more Aragorn) and more of the Mines of Moria (one of the coolest things in the whole trilogy) it had some nice pictures. Looked like it also had a sketch of each character, and was overall good. Worth $25? No. But I might pay $5 for it. (Note: I do my best to save money at all times. You might pay $25 for...more

The first chapter totally got me into the book! so far it's about Bilbo Baggins and about him not liking the Bagginsies because they where rude and such,but his favorite(his nephew) Frodo Banggins loved to talk about Bilbo's travels, and all of his adventures. Frodo was soon going to become an Adult witch you become around 30? Bilbo Baggins is really rich and wealthy and well known in Shire, also throwing his "eleventy first" birthday! i cant wait to read on!

The text is simple and offers no insights beyond what we can see in the movie, at best. Photo spreads aren't particularly spectacular and many of the photos seem to be taken halfheartedly - very few outstanding ones that apply the principles of photography effectively. Would make a good gift for young children as an introduction to LOTR, I suppose.
Interesting overview of a number of characters and places in The Fellowship of the Ring. Definitely learnt some new stuff, and the photos are pretty cool. It's an easy read but enjoyable all the same.
A quick, photo-filled intro to the first film; although it succeeds as a lush visual companion, it lacks structure and ends as suddenly as it begins.
Fantastic, a coffee table must for Lord of the Rings fans. I highly recommend.
My son loves this book!
it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excelente complemento para fanáticos de ESDLA.

put on hold till I find more time on my hands for such a heavy read
This is a coffee table/movie tie in book that gives very basic information. The photos are great, but there's nothing here anyone who has watched the films once doesn't know.
