3.0 out of 5 stars Who Proofread This Book?, February 4, 2004

By	Deborah Jesseman (Jackson, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elijah Wood (High Interest Books) (Paperback)

As a school media specialist, I purchased this book to add to my lower reading level biographies. It is an easy, quick read with basic facts about the actor. However, I was appalled to see that Gandalf was spelled "Gandolph" on page 30! It made me question how many other errors are in the book, who proofreads these books (it is a very quick read, and I caught it right away) and if the author did his homework thoroughly. Elijah Wood is a very articulate individual who spent years working on Lord of the Rings, and I wonder what he would think about the casual treatment of such a famous character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hobbit, Indeed, October 14, 2003

By	Steller (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elijah Wood (High Interest Books) (Paperback)

You want to see proof that Elijah Wood isn't a hobbit? Just get the book! :) As an Elijah Wood fan, I can't help but give it 5 stars, simply because anything with his picture on it deserves to be worshiped. hehehe... anyways... there's a lot of interesting stuff in this bio, so I reccomend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, December 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Elijah Wood (High Interest Books) (Paperback)

I found this book fun to read, and informative. [...] But with all the interest in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, and Elijah's rising star status, most readers will find this book quite interesting.
