Summary: Behind The Rings
Comment: Brian Sibley, the author of "The Making of The Movie Trilogy" has been connected to Tolkien-dom for many years -- he wrote the BBC radio dramatization. So it's no fluke that he was charged with creating this excellent behind-the-scenes account of the making of Peter Jackson's new LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. With Part Two (THE TWO TOWERS) due in theaters in just a few weeks, the release of this book has excellent timing!
At almost 200 pages long with over 300 pictures, the book is thorough and entertaining all at once. The pictures, many never seen before, are excellent! Sibley's writings/chapters range from typical, glossy actor interviews to in-depth descriptions of movie-making. After one reading, there is more in the book for me to investigate!
Enjoy the book. It's a great companion to a (so far!) excellent film series.

Summary: A must have for any true LOTR fan
Comment: This book is absolutely fascinating, explaining the detail and thought that went into making an epic of this proportion. I would have never considered all the minute details they so painstakingly devoted their lives to over the years of the pre-production and principle production period of the LOTR. Every detail from designing the perfect Gandalf hat to finding ingenious ways to protect ancient moss in a particular location to makeup for horses (yes, even horses need makeup!) is explored. Plus much, much more.
The book is as easy as it is enjoyable to read. It is like reading a magazine article on each topic they covered. Concise and too the point, but with plenty of information.
If you can only buy one LOTR book, make this the one. While the others are good, most of the information in them has also been presented in various documentaries or other media. You'll find surprises in this one!

Summary: Totally pleasing and worth buying!!!!
Comment: Ever since these films came out, ive been totally hooked. So ive gone on an escapade to buy as many of the books related to the films as possible. Naturally this book was one that a sought after highly.
It is filled with so much detail that one almost understands exactly what the entire cast and crew went through in those years.
I would totally recommend it for any LofR fan.
If a HAD to make one complaint, it would be that some of the photos are maybe a bit small but this is trivial.
Go out, buy and it & ENJOY!!!!!
