REVIEW:
Whilst I’m a huge fans of films, the viewer on really gets to see the final product on the screen and not all the hard work that has gone before, so when I get the chance to review books that bring information to the fore that take you not only into the world that they’re trying to produce buy the minds of those within it’s a title that I have a lot of fun with.
Here in this title the reader is treated to the training regime of the principle actor, the original artwork in creating Krypton, comments that bring the whole thing to life and images of the cast as they bring it all to life. It’s a great book, one that has a lot to offer the reader and for me, more than made up for the sadly lacking Man of Steel Novelisation.
