4.0 out of 5 stars
Heroes
As someone who had already watched seasons 1, 2, and the first three episodes of 3 I was interested in a little more in depth information into the series. I have enjoyed most of the book. In my case I could have done with out the comparison to the Lost Series, that isn't why I purchased the book. While it may have served a purpose to other readers, I found myself skimming...

2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing, shallow, and sloppy
As a dyed-in-the-wool, hardcore Heroes fan, I would have bought this book even if I'd known it was going to be superficial and incomplete, having been put together while the third season was still being put together and the fourth season still in the future.

This review is from: Saving the World: A Guide to Heroes (Paperback)
As a dyed-in-the-wool, hardcore Heroes fan, I would have bought this book even if I'd known it was going to be superficial and incomplete, having been put together while the third season was still being put together and the fourth season still in the future. Unfortunately, as someone who works in publishing, I've become very sensitive to typographical errors, misspellings, inaccuracies, guesswork, and poor quality printing and binding. "Saving The World" features all of these drawbacks. To its credit, it is mostly a good-looking book, and the emphasis was placed on design aesthetics and photographs of the characters, some of them rare. Nonetheless, I was hoping (and I suppose, will continue to hope, until I do it myself) for a book with a greater degree of depth and critical analysis of a series rich in subtext, background, influence, and expertise. This book should not have been inferior to the (very fluffy) official fan magazine, but even the magazine had greater depth. As a series characterized by a nearly endless succession of bungles ranging from the network to the publicity and lack of serious focus, "Saving The World" perfectly encapsulates the levels of staggering incompetence and lack of quality control that characterized so much of the tie-in material. The world may never know exactly what went wrong, and where - I know I'm curious as hell - but this book is just a symptom.
For absolute completists only.

In my case I could have done with out the comparison to the Lost Series, that isn't why I purchased the book. While it may have served a purpose to other readers, I found myself skimming to get through it back to the more detailed Heroes information I sought. Had it not been for that I would have given it a 5 star rating
