Metallica is one of the most successful hard-rock bands of all time; having sold more than ninety million albums worldwide. Receiving unique; unfettered access; acclaimed filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky followed Metallica over two and a half years as they faced monumental personal and professional challenges that threatened to destroy the bands just as they returned to the studio to record their first album in four years. While the documentary itself provides an insiders view of Metallica; the two and a half years of production (and more than 1;600 hours of footage) garnered far more than can be expressed in a two-hour film.Berlingers book about the experience reveals the stories behind the film; capturing the energy; uncertainty; and ultimate triumph of both the filming and Metallicas bid for survival. It weaves the on-screen stories together with what happened off-screen; offering intimate details of the bands struggle amidst personnel changes; addiction; and controversy. In part because Berlinger was one of the only witnesses to the intensive group-therapy sessions and numerous band meetings; his account of his experience filming the band is the most honest and deeply probing book about Metallica - or any rock band - ever written.This is the book both Metallica and film fans have dreamed of - a stark and honest look at one of rocks most important bands through the eyes of the most provocative documentary filmmakers working today.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. so cool!By Amy KincaidThis is a great high quality digital book. I was given the download free of charge so that I could read it and leave a review. It is spectacular.The books in this line of educational products are phenomenal. They contain beautiful pictures of the subject of the book. The download is available via the Kindle app to view on all your electronic devices. It works well on my android table. It is not compatible with my basic Kindle reader so thats something to be aware of. The publisher has listed a large number of educational books to download and view. I have fallen in love with all of them Ive downloaded so far. The pictures are so amazing. The digital version gives you an idea of what you will find in the printed version. You can view it before buying it. Thats extremely helpful.This book contains pictures and descriptions of the many sea creatures in our ocean. These are creatures we may never get the chance to see for ourselves so being able to look at them in high quality photographs is amazing. There are some strange sea monsters out there! This book describes so many of them in an enticing way. If you have a child that loves the ocean and all its mysteries; they will not be disappointed in this book. The publishers state that they are meant to supplement a third graders text book but I think any child would love to read it regardless of what they are learning about in school. I found it so interesting.Third graders would find this book enjoyable but I believe children as young as Kindergarten would enjoy having it read to them. The pictures could be talked about as well and engaging to the younger child. Children as young as preschool age could use the book as a picture book. Its never to early to introduce a child to the love of books and learning.I hope this review has been helpful to you. Download it and start enjoying it for yourself. If you like it; you can then order the printed copy.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fun to read; enjoyed the photographs!By Texas RoseAdding my review of The Big Book of Sea Monsters as an ebook; so bare with me. I downloaded this instantly from after purchase; to my cell phone to use with my free kindle app on phone. Unfortunately; my actual Kindle Fire was having difficulties and I could not download to it. So my review is based on using a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone screen.This ebook is a very cute and informative book about some of the bizarre sea creatures in the world. The text is informative and easy to read and understand for all ages. There are nice small paragraphs that make for easy reading. This book mentions sea creatures like Moray eel; Wobbegong Carpet Shark; Sarcastic Fringehead (this one is my favorite! The photographs are awesome!); Ocean Sunfish; Giant Japanese Spider Crab; and more!The pictures in this book are actually photographs of each sea creature mentioned. The photographs are well detailed and very clear. They help link the information to the sea creature. I enjoyed looking at the details in each photograph and learned a lot about each sea creature looking at the photos!Overall; this is a fun read! All ages would enjoy and learn a lot from this book! The Big Book of Sea Monsters is a great addition to anyones collection!I received this ebook for free or a discounted price to offer my honest opinion concerning this ebook. My review is based on my personal trial of this ebook. I understand the importance of an honest review to help other consumers make an educated purchase. I hope you have found my review helpful.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Pretty cute...err...monsterous little book!By DessThe Big Book of Sea Monsters is a pretty cute little book! There are a lot of vivid underwater photos of some pretty creepy marine life. The photos drew the kiddo right in and; although she is really too small to read; she is learning alphabet sounds and was fascinated by the book. The language is kept basic and the paragraphs small; so itrsquo;s great for little ones learning to read and sound out words; and also good for kids who know the basics and want to read on their own. I got the kindle version; I use it on my android tablet kindle app. It worked just fine. All and all it was a good choice; not terrifying; but for sure creepy! We live in Florida and we get to see the cute animals a lot; but this was the first adventure into the ldquo;monstersrdquo;. Any kid that likes ocean creatures will probably love it; from toddlers up to second grade reading level or so.I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review. I only review items I have used; and I assure you my review is unbiased and based on the quality of the product I received. My goal is to provide as much honest and helpful information as possible to help you make an informed purchase. As someone who shops primarily online due to health issues; I understand the importance of thorough and accurate reviews.
