5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for Degrassi Generations: The Official 411, September 15, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Degrassi Generations: The Official 411 (Paperback)

This book takes you on an in-depth tour of the 25 years of Degrassi. Including all the shows: Degrassi: TNG, Degrassi High, Degrassi Junior High, and The Kids of Degrassi Street.

It has tons of information and little known facts about the characters. It includes an episode guide of "Degrassi Classic" and "Degrassi: TNG". It also takes you on a tour of the sets, the real Degrassi, and behind the scenes of makeup, set decorations, and more.

I reccomend this book for any die-hard Degrassi fan such as myself!

I thought this was just going to be a piddly little book, but it was a really nice quality. It's got nice, thick, glossy pages and tons of photos. It has all sorts of inside information. Definitely worth the money.

This review is from: Degrassi Generations: The Official 411 (Paperback)

Degrassi: The Kids of Degrassi Street Series, Degrassi Junior High - The Complete Collection, Degrassi High Collection (14 Volume Set), Degrassi The Next Generation - Season 1. If you haven't heard of any of these television shows, then you don't know what you're missing! What began in 1979 as a brainstorm of Kit Hood and Linda Schuyler quickly became one of the most innovative, entertaining, and envelope-pushing shows of the eighties and early nineties.

The Degrassi shows can best be described as teen soap operas, although they're so much more than that. These shows, set in Canada and originally based on a group of kids who lived on Degrassi Street in Toronto, Ontario, brought new meaning to the term "teen drama." Thankfully, Degrassi Junior High - The Complete Collection and Degrassi The Next Generation - Season 1 are now on DVD, so if you missed it the first time around you can catch up with all of us who are devoted fans.

Kathryn Ellis has created the premiere reference guide for all things Degrassi with this book. With photos and detailed biographies of all the characters in each of the four shows, set designs, guest stars, and even an episode-by-episode synopsis, no fan wants to be without this book. Ms. Ellis hasn't forgotten the stand-alone supplement movie, School's Out!, either. She also covers makeup, hair, and wardrobe, the music of the shows, the numerous bands of the characters, and the hard-hitting issues that Degrassi took on throughout the years.

This is a book all Degrassi lovers must have for their collection. And if you haven't yet discovered this Canadian gem, I urge you to pick up a few DVDs to get the ball rolling. I promise, you won't be disappointed!
