3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting companion book to the series, wish it had a little more information, January 9, 2006

I've gotten the first four seasons on DVD so when I heard about these Smallville Companion books I decided to get this one.
I found that when you get a copy you'll see that each episode has the cast list, the writer(s) and director along with a B/W photo or two. You'll also find a trivia bit, a music list (which the DVD sets do not have), one or more lines quoted and sometimes an "article" from the Smallville Ledger or Torch (Chloe Sullivan sometimes contributing to the Ledger as well as the Torch). Each episode is covered with three or four pages in all, an opening paragraph detailing the storyline and the rest giving background information from the cast and crew. About all that's missing is an original airdate which you will find on the DVD sets. I would like more information about how each episode is produced. You get some of that in the episode sections and more in the character profiles, meet the cast and crew and Chloe Chronicles sections in the back of the book.
There is a color photo section near the center of the book, seems to be shots of the cast but not actually from episodes.
I've also got #1 & #3 on order and I'll probably get volume #4 if there is one.

This book is great for anyone that wants to learn more of what goes on behind the scenes of Smallville. The only thing that I would change is to have more pictures of the cast. If you want to learn more about Smallville this is definately a good buy for you

4.0 out of 5 stars For the Smallville fan, January 14, 2009

Can't get enough Smallville? These companion guides tell you everything you wanted to know and more. Lots of detail. I'd like to see more interviews though. Especially with Welling.
