5.0 out of 5 stars A Out-Of-This-World Book, November 11, 2002

This review is from: Crash Into Me: The World of Roswell (Paperback)

I think that this book is outstanding. It give you a timeline of events that happened on June 24th - July 10th 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico. The book also tells about the television series "Roswell " which is based on the 1947 crash and the Roswell High books written by Melinda Metz. If you're a Roswell fanatic then this is the book for you. Its has The Episode Guide for all three seasons, colored and black and white pictures of the cast, and to test your Roswell knowledge a Roswell quiz. I highly recommend this book if you're a sci-fi reader.

This review is from: Crash Into Me: The World of Roswell (Paperback)

Fans of the TV show, Roswell,- formerly on the WB, now playing in syndication on Sci Fi channel, will not be disappointed in this book .

It is an indepth viewer guide that has a list of actors/their bios, the history of the show and episode guide for all 3 seasons. A nice bonus is the chapter on the fans and how they impacted the show with their campaigns, letter writing and loyalty. Also included is a brief outline of the events of the real Roswell Incident that occured in 1947 in New Mexico.

For fans of the show and those that have seen the episodes, this is a nice guidebook to give you more info.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great show cut short... Here's what u need to know, March 12, 2003

This review is from: Crash Into Me: The World of Roswell (Paperback)

Roswell was the second show from producer Jason Katims, that found it's audience and was let go. ( The other being My So called Life) 'Crash Into Me' will help those who were fans relive the drama, and it will make fans of those who missed it first time around. ( You can catch Roswell on SciFi )

This book not only gives information on the show, and it's characters, but it tells of the Summer of 47', when a spacecraft supposedly crashed in Roswell, New Mexico.
What I find particularly informative about the book, is it lists the music from each episode, which I think is key. Many then not so popular bands, had some really good songs featured on the show.
