Book Review: The Illusion Of Life
Summary: 5 Stars

As fan to the topic of animation, I've read several books on the matter, without doubts this is the best that I've read, especially because it have been written by two of the, perhaps lasts, greaters master on animation. Without doubt animation it has become an art, I have many films of animated cartoons, through of these books I've learnt to appreciate the differences of quality and creativity. Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston they are part of the history of animation, they write on what they lived and in a pleasant style, easy to understan for the non specialists. While I was reading their book,I felt me so fascinated, that I wished the opportunity to express my feelings and admiration to them and all ones in the Disney studios that make this illusion real, therefore I thank this opportunity to express them what has been their book for me. Congratulations. Eduardo Agrela C. Santiago, CHILE.
