The book is beyond excellent, with unimaginably detailed summaries of each episode in the first season of the drama. It's also includes detailed reports on each of the patients treated and seen in the County, aswell as bits about the main cast members to the recurring ones, and a large list of the most drunk patients to the most lucky ones to the most unfortunate ones, and on, and on. It also has a 101 question IQ test to see what your ER IQ is, and medical glossary to find out the terms that are thrown around by Mark, Susan, or other staff members while wheeling somebody on a gurney to trauma. This book is highly recommended.

I would recommend this book to anyone, well at least any ER fan. It's tells you about the first 25 episodes, including their 2 hour long Pilot episode. It tells you about patients that they had in the past, how they treated them and what happened to them. It has an ER IQ Test, ER medical terms dictionary, quotes, great pictures, and outlines of each episode. I would recommend this book to anyone!

if you like the tv show you'll love this book! tons of information! great book overall!

If you missed Season 1 of ER, this book is a must have. It provides detailed summaries of each episode. A few good pictures, an medical terminology dictionary but not a whole lot else if you're into the characters.

Having become a fan of "ER" late in the game (the second season), I was glad to have something to help me know what I had missed. It explained a lot about who everyone was, where they are coming from, and why they are the way they are. I thought it was helpful also to understand some of the medical terminology and know what the abbreviations stand for. I would have liked maybe a bit more information on the backgrounds of the characters, but that doesn't keep very much in the tradition of the show, where we learn about the characters as we go through the seasons, much as you would learn about collegues. Overall, I think it's a great book for someone who came to "ER" late in the game and wants some help catching up! It would be great to have additional supplements for the years following the first season!

If you're interested in all the medical details and minutia of every episode, then this book is for you. I was disappointed in the lack of behind-the-scenes stories or cast biographies. If you've taped all the episodes, there is nothing in this book that you don't know.

ER is a show about the doctors, not the patients. All this book has is detailed summaries about "the woman with abdominal pain", "the child with the broken arm", etc. If you like hearing about every single patient that was on ER during the first season, and don't mind reading half a chapter about them, then this book is for you.

This book is a really good book, because it discusses about the season 1 of ER. It puts into great depth about all of them. I am interested in going into the medical career so this is a great idea to read.

any person doesn't have to like ER to like the book.It has all the detials,for SEASON 1.From 24 hours to EVERYTHIN OLD IS NEW AGAIN.You don't have to expect everything,just about everything.They need to put everybody in the hall-of-fame in the begining of the book.
