The Two Towers Movie Photo Guide (The Lord of the Rings)

Customer reviews:

A great book for all to enjoy!!!, 2004-08-17
This guide was perfect for my collection as it really brings the Two Towers film to life through the 48 pages which contain 88 photos featuring Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Eomer, Eowyn, Theoden, Faramir, Treebeard, bad guys, and many more. There is so much to enjoy in this book including the 57 direct quotes from the movie script. Follow the broken fellowship continuing the journey by the wonderful photos that carry you away to Fangorn Forest, the Dead Marshes, Edoras, Helm's Deep, Osgiliath, and Isengard. David Brawn's guides are well done and, as his others, this one will not let you down!

Good for pre-movie viewing, but pretty worthless after, 2003-03-17
It's a good book, don't get me wrong. There's some magnificent pictures from the second installment in New Line's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's the whole movie plot simplified.

But this book is only worth something before the movie. Afterward, it just loses its luster. Since you've already seen the movie, why look at the pictures again?

Nonetheless, there are some interesting items that take place in the book that give some hints as to what some extended material for The Two Towers' extended release will be. (For instance, the plot line about Aragorn releasing Theodred's horse Brego, which rescues him in the movie after the Warg battle. In the movie, the horse just showed up, without prior mention of it)

There's also (at least in ours) a page of stickers in the back of the book, but since there's only one to a character, no one wants to remove them from the page.
