4.0 out of 5 stars For the fan of the Robinson clan, February 3, 2004

This is a picture-filled look at the 60's Irwin Allen production. It has in-depth profiles of cast members, including the guy in the robot suit (Bob May), background on the then state-of-the-art special effects, as well as a comprehensive episode guide. There are a number of errors in the guide, but they are minor and will only be caught by the diehard fan.

With the upcoming Fox television remake, the book is a nice time trek for a "boomer" seeking to relive his childhood past.

3.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD BASIC OVERVIEW OF THE SERIES, October 8, 2009

First of all, let me start off by saying any book that puts Lost In Space in a positive light is okay with me. But on the same note, I have to write an honest review. So here goes. This book is not a "must have" for the Lost in Space fan, but it's a "nice to have". It devotes a few pages of how Lost In Space came to be, but it's predominantly an episode guide with basic synopsis for each episode and a short commentary at the end of most synopsis. It has sections devoted to the cast members including mild biographies and other works. Also includes backstories provided by two key writers, Shimon Wincelberg and Carey Wilbur. Not that many photos, all in black & white, about 22 pages worth spread throughout a 170 page book. There are two other Lost In Space books that are much better. I'll write about them at another time.

5.0 out of 5 stars If a fan you will like it, September 30, 2009

If your a fan of the show you will like this book as far as the behind the scenes stories. I still have a crush on Penny. However reading through some of the episode outlines, you have to forgive the spelling errors and it is kinda disturbing now looking back that you liked this show. After all who admits to liking Gilligan's Island.
