Book Review: Beauty but limitation
Summary: 5 Stars
When you go back and check out books like these, make certain the material is what you are looking for. Personally, I picked this up some time ago and, for what it is supposed to cover, it really made an impact. That said, it is only a synopsis for the first two seasons of the X-Files and there are some really big books that cover a lot of ground when it comes to the show. The thing is that the price goes up on things like that, too, and you really might just want a framework of how things began and how things were playing out.
According to Chris Carter, there is a theme that traverses three seasons of the X-Files, and that theme becomes really transparent here. You notice a lot of what he is aiming for - and wil later call "Abduction" in the X-File Mythos discs - and that can really use a companion like this. Those are not bad for a fan of the series to pick up, either, and going back and looking at those always looks good here. If you want to add to that then look up the book by Simon, who talks about the science behind the series. That means you gleam a lot of information from a little bit of reading, and you see the reality and the notion thats et everything up.
Basically, this is one of those things that lurks in fandom. If you are just wathcing and want to know about all the seasons, you might not want this. I think it is amazingly done but there are some equally amazing sets, and some come in around the 30 to 40 range. Still, this gets a nice 5/5 for what it is, sharing the joy of two seasons beautifully.
