This is good.

If you love the show you will want this book. It is full of little behind the scene stuff that is both funny and entertaining. I loved it.

The Weird And Wonderful World Of The Winchesters

I knew there was something special about this wonderful show when it premiered on the WB in the fall of 2005. There was another little show I knew that was something special that premiered mid season on the same network in 1997. Like that classic, Supernatural has evolved in a cult favorite, filled with deep mythology, story arcs, and emotionally charged drama among two brothers. SN is the kind of show that definitley allows itself to have books like this, and the other book released around the same time about all the demons/monsters etc. that are featured on the show. It's just too rich not too. Author Nicholas Knight has crafted a nice little read. The book, as the title simply puts it, is a companion piece to season 1 of the brilliant, critically acclaimed little show that could. All 22 episodes from that superb debut season are here. Each episode has a synopsis that is followed by cast and crew members commenting on the episodes, and talking about whatever comes to mind, or if there was something special or unique, about that particular episode. There are some little facts that pop up, as well as a list of what classic rock songs were featured in the episode. As we all know, the classic rock soundtrack is as much a part of the show as the car. The book is well done and a fun read, but slight when compared to other guide books to other television shows. One wonders why seasons 1 and 2 are being done seperate when they very well could have been put together for one large book. The "Buffy" books that dealt with the same thing are the blueprint for these kinds of books, and if there is one complaint here, is that it's not long enough. You could probably read the whole thing in one sitting if you wanted too. Elsewhere, the book has interviews with the cast, crew members, and a section where they talk about the impact of the show and the critical praise it has received. All well worth it. Horror legend Clive Barker hasn't called Supernatural "First rate horror storytelling" for nothing. There are also some nice colored photos as well. In the end, The official companion book to season one of Supernatural is a must buy for fans of the show. It's also a nice place to start for beginners who want to know what the show is about and play catch up. Get the excellent DVD's as well. The book is what is set out to be, and it is well written and informed. The book on the monsters/demons and so on is an interesting book too, but this is the best of the two.

My son loved the book - he can't get enough of this show so the book helped bring everything together!

Supernatural Fan Heaven

If you enjoy the TV show Supernatural, but want to know more about the episodes than just the usual (writer, director, guest stars); this book is for you. It covers evey episode, in order, so it's easy to jump to your favorite episode(s). It gives a short synopsis but there's more explanation from the director, writers, tech folks on different but fun aspects of each episode. It's full of trivia and great photos. It has a separate chapter on the main characters for Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki fans. Best Reason to enjoy this book - "25 Reasons Not to Go on a Road Trip with My Brother" by Sam Winchester.

Fantastic!!

I received this book in the mail today (8/10/07) and two and a half hours later I finished it. The companion was fantastic! The book contains everything a fan needs; color photos, background information on the `supernatural', production notes and quotes and interviews from the cast and crew. The last few pages even contain an amusing list from Sam's point of view; 22 reasons not to go on a trip with my brother. And the most important thing is that is stays true to the shows legends. It is a fantastic companion based on a fantastic show. Thanks Nicholas Knight.
