5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for all CSI fans ;-), December 13, 2007

By	Little Miss Cutey (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This book is ideal for any fan of the show. It's so well done and choc full of great photos and interesting background information. It is part of the DK range of books, so you can imaging it's very involved with a lot of interesting stuff and will keep you reading for a long time.
There are photos of some of your favourite episodes and characters and even some background information on some of the supporting characters such as Ecklie and Detective Vartan and Vega. You get to see in depth Grisolms office and Brass' office. There is a segment devoted to one of Grisolms biggest challenge, Paul Millander. They talk about blood spatter and how evidence is broken down and how it tells them all about the case. When they talk about Audio/Visual Analysis, they talk about different episodes where this technology is used. I could go on and on about all the interesting topics that are in here, but there is so much, it's better to grab a copy and read it all for yourself. I especially love the background info on the characters because that's more in depth than you ever see on screen. Page 52 is where they talk about my personal favourite; Nick. As with all the characters it gives you info about them growing up and how they came to be CSI's and talks about some of the places where they've shined or come into their own.
Again, this book is truly worth while if you are a fan and I can't speak highly enough of it. It's very good and you have to buy a copy too. You'll love it.

Good for reading once, then just takes up space. Pretty pictures of the cast, talks about the characters as though they were real people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read, January 15, 2007

By	Kacey (Mechanicsville, VA United States) - See all my reviews

If you love CSI, this is the book for you. Loads of full color pictures and glossery terms explaining what all the terms those CSIs throw around really mean. Individually write ups on all the characters and just a really fun read. I highly recommend.
