Customer Reviews

Great insights!

I have to say the best part of this book are the casts insights into their characters! After all, no one really knows the characters as well as the people who bring them to life.The pictures are all wonderful, though I would have liked more of my favorite couple, Brian and Michael! They are the heart of the show for me.The accompanying DVD in the hard cover book is excellant though way to short! Ann Marie

The DVD: a bonus feature

The book is great, as it's great the serie. The pics are also awesome, would have loved more of my fave QAF couple: Brian and Justin.. Not everyone knows that, at least the hardcover edition of the book (which is the one I own, I don't know about the softback..) comes with a DVD, with exclusive behind the scenes material, which makes a cute addition to this already not-to miss-item for a true QAF fan! RECOMMENDED!

Fabulous

I bought the book the first day it came out and once it was sent to me, I couldn't stop flipping through the pages. The episode synopsis', pictures, quotes, cast, etc. were absolutely great for a QaF fan. Although some stuff in the book could have been more in depth, it is a great addition the Queer as Folk collection. Highly, highly recommend that all of the QaF fans out there go buy this book immediately and enjoy it.

Excellent QAF Title - Great Pictures - Bonus DVD

This is a great Queer As Folk "coffee table" book. In addition to some great photographs of the entire cast (not just our favorite main characters, but everyone including Jennifer and Daphne!) this book contains a brief description of all episodes from Seasons 1, 2 and 3 (season 4 begins in 2004).The episode recaps are a handy reference to the DVD collections, if you have those, or just as a reminder of plot sequence, and the information is accompanied by photos from the episodes explained. Each individual character is profiled as well as the actor/actress who portrays them, again with accompanying pictures and stills. Some of the photographs are familiar, the same posted on the QAF Showtime site, but others are new. Color photography is used throughout and the quality of the paper and the book itself is outstanding. The Bonus DVD at the end of the book (attached at the back page) contains some fun stuff and some is brand-new, not featured on the Season 1 or Season 2 DVD collections. I would highly recommend this Queer As Folk book to any fan of this outstanding series.

If your a QAF fan, this book is a must

I think that this book is a great addition to any other QAF books, calendars, etc. on the market. It has a lot of great stories about the cast and "the making of." The only thing I wish was that there were more interviews and behind-the scenes pictures. It has a lot of recaps of the episodes. However, I highly recommend it to anyone.
