This review is from: Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 3 (Paperback)

This guide covers season 3 of the hit WB series in which the clock begins ticking for Dean after making a deal with a demon to save Sam's life. The book examines each of the fifteen episodes from season three in great depth with cast, detailed plot synopses, production notes, and comments from cast and crew. There's also some amusing anecdotes from the set such as show Creatoer Eric Kripke talking about his real-life experience that inspired the maggot-burger scene in the episode "Malleus Maleficarum".

Throughout the book there are little "Did you know" side notes that provide sort of pop-up trivia bits about the show including the actual radio station that inspires the music that Dean and Sam listen to in their car. There are also notes that mention each of the classic rock songs used in the episodes. The season finale, "No Rest for the Wicked" is also dealt with in-depth with a special section on the episode which saw Dean dragged to Hell at the end.

There are sections which highlight and include interviews with the Special FX crew, property master, make-up staff, and a look at Supernatural in novels, comic books, and magazines. The book also features a 16-page color photo section. At 160 pages Knight packs in a surprising amount of material. I thought it was kind of slim but after reading it, there's a wealth of information in here for fans.

It's exactly what you'd think it is. A book with just a bit more info on the shows and episodes. As supernatural is my current vice, I'm really enjoying the book.
