Book Reviews of The End and the Beginning (The Official Guide to the X-Files, Vol. 5)
Book Review: An essential resource for any X-Files fan.
Summary: 5 Stars
The End and the Beginning is the fifth book in the 'Official Guide to the X-Files' series and covers the sixth series of this popular show (the first book covered the first two series). This is the third book in the series to be written by Andy Meisler (a New York Times television critic) and, although I think the first two books (written by Brian Lowry) were much better, this is still an invaluable resource that no X-Phile should be without. Unlike the first two books, which contained many interesting features in addition to the obligatory episode guide, this book, like volumes 3 and 4, concentrates solely on the episodes themselves. A very detailed account of each episode is given (around 10 pages each) but, due to the length of these, I think a summary of each episode would be useful, however this is something the book does not provide. Perhaps the most interesting part of the book is the 'back story' section for each episode. This includes many interesting facts about the making of the episodes covering subjects such as writing the episode, casting the guest stars and the production of the episode, including shooting special effects and creating the right look for the episode. The book also contains a few amusing snippets about each episode such as general trivia, events that occurred during filming and explanations for the titles of some of the more obscurely named titles. Although you can find many good X-Files episode guides on the Internet, this is the definitive guide to the series and is far more than just a run of the mill episode guide.
