Customer Reviews: Who Proofread This Book? February 4, 2004 Deborah Jesseman (Jackson, TN) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
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.

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.

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!
