After thoroughly enjoying the previous Imagineering Field Guides for Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom, I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the guide for Hollywood Studios. Unfortunately, this book does not even come close to the quality of the other three.

The details are drab. Frequently, it even seems like some of the pages are out of order. The topic will move on to another scene, then suddenly have a comment about the previous scene out of the blue and out of context.

The small amount of information the book does provide is good, just presented poorly. I'm not sure I can recommend paying full price. If you enjoyed the other guides, you will definitely be disappointed in this. If you haven't read any others, then you will like learning some of the details behind the development of my favorite Disney park.

It's the little things, the little details, that make this series of books special. So many overlooked details are revealed here, you'll want to spend a whole day in DHS looking up, down and around. If you're not at the parks, its a great bedtime reader to put you in the dreamstate of being there.

I have always been a fan of the Disney parks in Orlando. I love reading stories and books about them - about the behind-the-scenes stuff. Previous to this book, I have reading the Imagineering Field Guides to the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Animal Kingdom. I couldn't wait to read this Field Guide as well. Very informative and an interesting read.

I love the "Imagineers Field Guides" series and this one is no exception. I appreciate the parks so much more after reading these books. I learn so much I would never know otherwise. These books are a must for any true Disney lover.
