My Take on the Book
As a fan of this movie, this book gives you everything you would ever want. The book really allows you to delve beyond the movie into everything about the making of the movie to the actors and characters within it, the people who created it, the branding of items surrounding the movie and more. If you are as much of a fan as I am, this book will be a treasure trove of amazing information for you and your family and it will be a book that you will want to have prominently shared for others to view too!
