The Ultimate Gift to 24 Fans,
By
This review is from: 24: The Ultimate Guide (Hardcover)
I have the season companion guide "24: The Ultimate Guide" by Michael Goldman, $24.99 US, Hardcover, coffee table size (12" x 10"), which covers all 6 Days/Seasons.
I wanted to take this opportunity to say to all 24 fans considering this book: I love it! I leave it on my living room table, and people check it out and it always makes them interested and starts conversations that branch into all sorts of things. The quality of the pages and pictures is outstanding. The visual appeal of the book could not be better - there are high quality glossy photos that are just amazing. There are inset synopses called a "Fact File" for the major characters, Day/Season synopses of course, and the volume includes a plethora of inset character faces, sets, and scenes large and small. The book relates some details that cannot be derived or inferred from the DVDs, such as details of field gear and other technologies, history trivia, and of course the Fact Files on many of the characters. There is a brief enthusiastic "Welcome" to the book from Joel Surnow on page 6. This book is a very appealing and satisfying presentation of the whole 24 experience, and well worth the money paid. I would recommend it just for the pictures, even if there was no text!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for any 24 fan,
By Pat (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 24: The Ultimate Guide (Hardcover)
This is a great collectors item for any fan of the show. First, the book is written as if it is a non-fictional guide to CTU. There are lots of details about all major characters and info about characters who didn't last or live long. This guide features everything from long recaps of all 6 days to detailed information about weapons and vehicles used. There were many times when I would stop and say "I forgot that happened on that day" or "I forgot that girl from Rosanne was in this". Michael Goldman gives us a well written and informative companion to the show that reminds us of why we got hooked in the first place. Well worth the purchase.
