It is a fun book!

It is a fun book! I have seen the excellent original La Femme Nikita and the pathetic US remade. I love the idea that the book drew a nice comparison between the production/directors/leading actresses of the two movies and TV series. It juxtaposed them with one another providing solid background on how did the whole thing get evolved from a French movie that marginally made it in the US box office to an amazing TV hit series. The episode guide was very precise and gave the reader a good idea of the narrative. More, The Idiot's Guide To Section One is HILARIOUS!! If you are a fan of the TV series, you will find it real handy to have this book when you are in the mood to do some reading about the series or Peta Wilson. One drawback is that there are very few pictures of Peta and they are in black and white. (Just a thought: if the episodes of the La Femme Nikita could be in released in tapes like X-File did, it would be great. Also, I think this series would be even a bigger success, if it could be run on the major network.)

A Totally Rad Read

This has to be the most bitchen book I've ever read. The stuff about Roy and Matthew - talk about hot, hot, hot!!!! Peta should wear flame retardant clothes when she gets around those two!!! I especailly loved all the inside information and in particularly, Peta's awesome fashion statements. She totally rocks the designer racks. And the chapters about the rest of the cast are just as bitchen as the rest of the book. It almost make me want to be beaten and incarcerated and have my life and future stolen, just so I can hang out with these cool people. I think anyone who picks up this book will have a hard time putting it anywhere... For sure a better story than Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn or Charge of The Light Brigade or The Chunder From Down Under by Darian Forrester. I, for one, will never watch La Femme Nikita the same way again. Definitely not a book to over look

Page-turner extraordinaire!

...this book kept me up till 4 a.m.!This is not so much a bio of the leggy Aussie actress, as a behind-the-scenes tell-all of the international cable-TV hit, La Femme Nikita. The sections (inside joke!) ...will leave you gasping with a redolent mixture of awe, horror, amazement and, ultimately, admiration.Drawing strongly on the literary tradition of Dickens' _A Tale of Two Cities_, Faulkner's _The Light in August_, and Susann's _The Valley of the Dolls_, the author manages to evoke the fin de millennium angst of a multi-generational, multi-racial world.Comparisons will no doubt be drawn between this work and that of Jean-Paul Sartre, but it cannot be helped. What becomes clear by the final chapter is this ultimate, END

A good book for new LFN fans

New fans to LFN will find a wealth of information to help them learn who the characters are and what their role is in Section One.Old LFN fans won't find much new information here, but the book is a good compilation of information to have at your fingertips for quick and easy reference.Many of the websites mentioned in the book are outdated and there are many excellent new ones which can be found on the internet.As a devoted LFN fan, the book was a "must-have" for my collection.
