Reviews

"""An inherently fascinating and impressively informative cinematic history of the Kaiju films from their beginnings in Japan to their success in the American movie market... Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, making it a 'must' for Godzilla style monster movie fans and a welcome pick for community and college/university library Cinematic History collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.""--Midwest Book Review"
