Life Lessons from Xena, Warrior Princess: A Guide to Happiness, Success, and Body Armor [Paperback]

Chris Kreski (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1998

Who could've known that a breast-plated heroine who hails from somewhere in ancient history would catapult into the TV ratings stratosphere? That's exactly what has happened with Xena, Warrior Princess, the show that features Lucy Lawless on a mission to help the downtrodden free themselves from tyranny and injustice.

Exclusively distributed in domestic syndication by MCA TV and internationally by MCA TV International, Xena was first introduced in an episode of Hercules as an intrepid warrior bent on destroying the heroic character. But she changed sides when her own army betrayed her. Now, each episode features our gal surrounded by baric tribes, slave traders, and a host of other evils, as she righteously battles for good.

In addition, Xena has become a hot cult favorite, with devotees who pay homage through fan clubs and web sites. Life Lessons from Xena, Warrior Princess -- featuring Xena's philosophy of life -- is a campy guide to what the greatest heroine of them all has to teach about today's world.

I was actually disappointed by the book. I just didn't find the humor all that funny. It is made painfully obvious that the author doesn't care for Gabrielle all that much. I am a huge Xena fan, but this book just didn't do much for me.

A must have for ANY xenite, includes humorus quotations about Gabrielle, Xena and the fun side of life and such! Here's an example:

Copper breastplates intiminate. Thigh High boots convey power. Weapons are always appropirate accessories. Dress codes are not taken lightly.

Speak softly,but carry a big stick, and a big sabre, knife, a singing sword, a mace, and a shield, and a lasso..and a killer frisbee..and....

Consider: Gabrielle is beautiful. Gabrielle is almost entirely incomptent. Gabrielle's latest performance review was unbelivably positive.
Conclusion: Gabrielle continues to require my close, personal and hands on supervision,

If you have a sense of humor, you will enjoy this book. If you don't you will hate it. It is totally tounge in cheek and meant to be that way. Don't take it seriously, you're not supposed to. Personally I found the book hilarious, course I am naturally crazy. To judge whether or not you will like it; if you like the humorous episodes of Xena, then you will enjoy it. It has the same humor and one liners as they use on the show. Thanks for listening and Battle On my friends!
