I really enjoyed this book.

I liked the information and the pictures that were in here.

I would not recommend reading this one unless you have seen all three books just so you don't get spoiled for the previous movies and this one.

I wish this one had more information than it did but I still enjoyed what was in here. There were somethings that I wanted to see but they did not include some of the things I was hoping it would but I still liked what was in the book.

The pictures that were in this book from the movie were great and I enjoyed them. They were really neat.

I really enjoyed this final book in the companion books for the hobbit movies.

The third visual companion for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, this volume provides background information on the final instalment, The Battle of The Five Armies. Following the trend of Fisher's earlier visual companions for both Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, this is aimed at younger readers, the language and detail rather simple and uncomplicated. I'm enough of a fan to want to buy and read this book, but I would prefer a bit more complexity to what I'm reading. That said, this book will give the reader more background information than the films about the people, creatures, places and elements that make up The Hobbit, often using a mishmash of the films, Tolkien's writings and the back-stories developed for the films.

Additionally, this edition has a couple of typos which, while forgivable, is disappointing.

I got this one for cheap on Bookoutlet. Being an HUGE fan of Tolkien books, movie adaptation, I even own The Ring. So I though I should buy this one. Nothing extraordinary, but beautiful pictures and the text present/explain the universe, the characters, the races, and more of this particular movie but also of the Tolkien world in general. Not necessary but the hardcore fans should like it. I did!
