Book Reviews of LOST: The Ultimate Unofficial Guide to ABC's Hit Series LOST News, Analysis, and Interpretation
Book Review: $24.95 worth of controversy
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, I finally took the plunge and ordered this book last week. My reason was a simple one- I've read all the other books about "Lost" and was curious if this book was as bad as the reviews claim it is. Well- is it as bad? Yes and no. Whoever edited this book should lose his/her job. For a professional publication the mistakes are horrible. Bad spelling, incorrect use of commas, periods, etc. The double spacing of lines is okay with me except it makes all the other mistakes stand out like a sore thumb. With all that being said, the actual material presented in the book is pretty good. No new revelations are revealed here, but it gives a pretty detailed synopsis of all the action from season one. Each "chapter" represents a first season episode and includes the following- episode summary, analyze this, signs and symbols, Listen to what the fans say, truth and speculation, quotable quips, Sawyerisms and seven degrees of Lost. Quotable quips and Sawyerisms are the best of the material as they take some of the best one-liners from each episode and Sawyer's use of nicknames. The bottom line with this book is that it's a decent one. The editing problems can be bothersome and at $24.95 it is one of (if not the)the most expensive books about Lost on the market. Several other titles listed on Amazon are just as good, if not better, and are available at much better prices. If your looking to collect everything you can about your favorite show go ahead and buy this book. If your only a casual fan, or just looking to catch up with something you may have missed, look to some of the other books available. As a sidenote, the same publisher (Equity Press) has just released the "Ultimate Season II Guide". I have it but haven't read it yet. At first glance the differences between the two books is glaring. The new book is a smaller size, not double spaced and written by a different author. Not sure yet about grammar and editing. It's also $5 less than the previous book but clocks in at less than 130 pages.
