Given that I'm a fan of BSG in its various incarnations (the original, Galactica 1980, Ron Moore's Galactica, comic book adaptations, etc.), the only way I would not have enjoyed Finding Battlestar Galactica: An Unauthorized Guide is if it had been written invisible ink.

Still, I think even less enthusiastic fans will be pleased with the content. The book works so well, because the authors really know their stuff, and are passionately (obsessively?) interested in BSG. You can be sure that somewhere in the more than 250 pages, with the authors' knowledgeable insights, the interviews, and the behind-the-scenes glimpses into BSG, you'll get your money's worth out of the book.

My only complaint is that they wrote the book before the series ended. How sad that they couldn't comment on the entire production. It is very unsatisfying in places (sort of like analyzing Romeo and Juliet without knowing how that story ends), and I do hope the authors consider writing a more definitive guide some time in the future.
