This review is from: Heroes: An Insider's Guide to the Award-Winning Show (Paperback)

I found this book on the offical Heroes web site and ordered immediately from Amazon. It is an amazing resource for all HEROES fans with full color photos and background stories on all major players. The book delivers indept interviews with the cast and creator and provides additional information around the pilot and future direction - a lot of this information has been provided in past interviews or DVD commentary but I did learn a few new details. This would make a great gift for someone who loves Heroes.

Pros: Covers all major players including creator Tim Cring providing additional background information. Every glossy page contains outstanding photography and/or graphic art.

Cons: Only covers seasons 1-2 with a preview of season 3.
