The "Return of the King" Photo Guide ("Lord of the Rings")

I really enjoyed all 3 of the Lord of the Rings movies, but the Return of the King was my favorite of the trilogy, and this book is the perfect compliment to the movie. The 48-page guide beautifully lays out 71 fantastic photographs from the movie which include Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Faramir, Denethor, Eowyn, Theoden, bad guys, plus many more. As I paged through this book, the film was brought to life, and the 46 direct quotes from the movie script was a perfect addition to the pictures. I was brought along to Gondor, Edoras, Dwimorberg Mountain, Shelob's Lair, and all the rest of the locations and battles that the characters experienced throughout the Return of the King. This is truly a wonderful book, and I am very sure you will enjoy it as well!

This book, although fairly short and can be read within about 5 minutes, has wonderful pictures and descriptions. I like reading it every once in a while, but mainly just look at the wonderfully high quality photos of the different characters and places. I highly recommend it.

I bought this book today. I love it. There are many new pictures in there . For "Lord of the rings fan" it is amazing. The book tells you the whole story. Now you can compare the book and the movie.

If you'd have looked in a certain store today, you would have found a rather distinguished-looking fellow carefully scrutinizing the children's literature aisle searching for the Return of the King photo guide. That fellow was me, and I finally located this book. I pawed through it for the better part of quarter hour, and now present my review for it.Of course, many of these pictures surfaced on the internet before this book came out, but it's still nice to have it in book form. The book itself is rather small, but you can't judge a book by its cover, after all! There's some awesome pictures of our favorite heroes, and the perils they encounter in the upcoming cinematic release of Return of the King from New Line Cinema. Keep in mind that this book is appealing now, but this is only because you have not seen the movie yet. Once the movie is released, the value for this book will dramatically plummet. Still, it's a thrill to get a look at a lot of the pictures and scenes from the upcoming movie that the world is waiting for.And, in case you are concerned about these sorts of things, it goes without saying that this book contains many spoilers about the movie. I keep up on all the latest news, and still found one thing about the movie I did not know.Great book, great buy, and great preview of the movie we're all looking forward to!

The book is thin, but pack a lot of beautiful photographs for the final instalment of the Rings Trilogy. Thing along the lines of a sketchy "Cliffnote", with pictures, it maps the last saga step by step with pictures and captions so you know what is going on in the pictures. They wonderfully cover the highlights of the story, without really ruining the plot for those who has not seen it. Only leaves, you hungry for the film! Over 70 gorgeous photos, in super quality.For the price...this will make a nice stocking stuffer this Christmas for that Ring Addict that cannot get enough.
