Anything You Can Imagine: Peter Jackson and the Making of Middle-earth by Ian Nathan
3.0
3,5 stars.
Big parts of this book were really interesting, but I feel like it just was A LOT ;)
I felt like I would never finish this.
Also I had the impression that this was not written by a "real" author, but by a huge LotR nerd, who did not know too much about pacing and about structuring a book.
A lot of knowledge about Jackson and the movies is just presumed. I did not have that and was for example very surprised when in a side note Jackson suddenly had two little kids with this one lady I thought was just his friend and creative partner. So..yes...structuring would be nice ;)
But I learned a lot and I am currently re-watching the movies.
