About this title

Review:

Essentially, a watered-down version of Sibley's Official Movie Guide, The Lord of the Rings Insider's Guide is a slim but fact-packed volume for children that reveals as much as they could ever want to know about the making of the biggest fantasy movie ever. Sibley adapts his style well for a younger audience, taking them behind the camera to meet director Peter Jackson and see how all the amazing special effects were created. Children will especially love the 16 pages of colour photographs showing all the cast, including the scary monsters, in full colour and should certainly create plenty of interest in the film. This will make a great present for any child who wants to see the film. --Jonathan Weir

Review:

"...if the early footage is anything to go by, expect a spectacular voyage into Middle-earth." Empire
