Book Description

December 12, 2007

The only book on the hit television show starring Denis Leary about the professional and personal lives of New York City firefighters, acclaimed by critics and viewers alike.

Now in its fourth season, Rescue Me is the highly acclaimed, groundbreaking drama that attracts millions of viewers a week. Revolving around the lives of the men in a New York City firehouse (the crew of 62 Truck), the series examines the fraternal nature and relationships of firefighters. Each week, compelling storylines tackle the daily drama of the life-and-death situations associated with being a firefighter in a post-9/11 world, while exploring the ways they use dark humor to protect their true emotions. The men of Rescue Me are Tommy Gavin (Leary), Mike Silletti (Mike Lombardi), Chief Jerry Reilly (Jack McGee), Sean Garrity (Steven Pasquale), Kenny "Lou" Shea (John Scurti), and Franco Rivera (Daniel Sunjata).

This full-color companion guide provides an insider's look at the first four seasons of this Emmy®-nominated series. It captures behind-the-scenes moments with the cast and crew, including the show's star, Denis Leary, and features stills from the show and candid photos. This book includes interviews with creators Leary, Peter Tolan, and Executive Producer Jim Serpico, biographies of the cast and crew, a detailed look at the show's action sequences, extracts from the scripts, and sidebars of favorite quotes from the show's gritty dialogue. 150 color photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leary's Laughs January 22, 2008
Format:Paperback
I have been a big fan of Denis Leary for years. The Rescue Me Show is by far the best thing offered on television these days. Realistic writing, true feelings mixed with shades of insanity make this show the best ever. I welcomed the companion book and found it a hoot to read.

Getting the background behind the scene gives one a true understanding from the writers point of view. I got more than just reading the text as the characters jumped off the pages and their voices were heard loudly. I highly recommend buying this book for the Rescue Me fan or for one who wants to experience some real life experiences with a warped sense of humor. Buy this book!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book January 13, 2008
Format:Paperback
Any fan of the show will love this book. It includes everything from the hilarious lines to an episode guide for all four seasons. The preface by Denis Leary is great and gives some insight into how the show came together. It's just the right thing to fill the Rescue Me void until the new season starts!
