A Must Have If You're A Xena Fan

This book is basically the Bible for Xenites. With tons of color and balck and white pictures, you can't miss. There is a in-depth look at the making of the show, including the step by step process of editing, directing, prop making, costume designing, and the music that goes with the show. One littlle tibet I found particularly interesting was that they included the lyrics to the Xena theme song, both the Bulgarian words and their English counterpart. This book also includes detailed plot synoposes of each and every episode of the first through second seasons. This section has a special "Lucy's Take" with her outlook on every episode, which is neat. This book is pack full of Xena goodness (and badness, if you like the evil Xena, with tons of backround on her appreance on Hercules). This book is a must have and essential to any fans collection.

The most professional treatment of Xena a fan can give

I've met Rob Weisbrot. You wouldn't think he's a hardcore nutball (what Lucy Lawless calls her most dedicated fans) but he is a Xenite through and through. He's also a professional historian who teaches at a northwestern college. The man can talk to a room full of people.But more importantly, he gave Xena fandom its first step into the world of print by impressing Renaissance Pictures and Universal Studios with his enthusiasm that when it became clear he was going to write some fan books they realized they'd better get him on board.So, we have the official guide to Xena written by a true Xena fan. Weisbrot took the time to interview producers, writers, and cast members. He visited the sets and watched all the episodes. He understands the subject matter thoroughly, and his love of ancient Greek mythology is an added bonus. You can't go wrong by buying this book!

I Love This Book!

This is a great behind the scenes look at one of television's most clever shows. If you are a Xena fan, this is a MUST have. Beyond that it is an excellent behind the scenes look at ANY television series because it covers all areas of production - script revisions, editing, special effects, casting of both main and extra characters, stunts, and more. Plus you get the usual cast bios and epsiode summaries. The only problem (as most reviewers note) is that the episode guide only covers the first two seasons. We are all anxiously awaiting that second edition. Also enjoyable is the ability for the creators of Xena to poke fun at their chronological inconsistencies. You will find an amusing time line at the end of the book. Buy it =)

It's just all you ever needed to know.

it' just amazing how facanating one book can be. It just have in there all you ever need to know about Xena: theshow, the creators, the characters, the episodes, the history, plus you have Lucy's review to each episode (up to the end of season 2... that's what I have...). Beautiful pictures inside. If you concider yourself a fan, and someone who really wants to know-that'sthe right book for you.
