Customer Reviews

Great Purchase

I'm a huge Lost fan, so i ended up buying this book a while back. It's jam packed with Lost info, with lots of behind the scenes type commentary. The interview with JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof is also great. You must own this book if you're a die hard Lost fan! :)

Must Have For LOST Fans!!!

This book is a great read for LOST fans. Goes great with the 1st Season DVD set!!

Amazing Insight, Great Book - For any Lost Fan

I am a HUGE fan of the show. Having bought Lost on DVD, I had to get this book. I just purchased this book today at Borders (despite the Christmas rush) and shortly began reading it. It gives incredibly helpful insight to Lost. It includes a history of Lost, interviews, and pretty much every interesting aspect of the show. The book also has very vivid and large full color photos on every page. The type is relatively small to encompass more text, which is also at a great level of depth. The book expands on many aspects of the series; everything you might find on Fan web-sites to the DVD's 'special features,' and more. Very importantly, I like how this book is well-written. Often in books like these, the writing is not stylized and poor. I have been very impressed. Author Mark Cotta Vaz also has written other television show companion-type books, including "Alias: Declassified," and he does an exceptional job collaborating with Lost's executive producers to develop a very thorough book. I haven't watched the included DVD yet, but I don't expect much from it. With the Season 1 DVDs, I already feel set. Had the book not included the DVD, I still would have bought the book. This is not exactly a 'coffee-table book,' but I sure wouldn't mind leaving it on my coffee table on display. Its a good-looking book and is a great read - as well as a great potential conversation starter. I may buy more of "The Lost Chronicles", for my friends and family that are fans of the show. If you breathe Lost like I do, do not hesitate to purchase this book any longer.

Very informative companion guide!

I highly enjoyed this Companion Book to the hit tv series LOST. It was very informative, and appeared to have alot of input from the show's creators, JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof.

Insider's look into the making of LOST

Outstanding! This book gives you extraordinary details into the mechanisms of the show. It is absolutely amazing that this show got started. This book will tide you over during the week until the next episode. Well done ABC!
