As usual, a thorough and informnative guide to the 4th season of the hottest show Fox broadcasting has ever had. What would you expect from an official guide? I have to re-examine the guides to seasons 1-3, but I think they went into more details on each episode then they do on the behind the scenes info, then they did in the other books. I could be wrong. Lots of great stuff about the episodes, which, is I guess the point, but I want the behind the scenes stuff, the comments of the writers, how the fans reacted, whether the episode came off as they envisioned it, etc. This book has that, but not enough for me. However, this isn't meant to be a negative review. It's the best book on the subject out there, and an excellent buy.

This is a very vivid guide to The X-Files in their earlier seasons. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and discovering all the interesting facts that this book had to give. I am a fan of The X-Files and I have watched the show for five years. I think this is a very good literary work. If you like The X-Files, I highly recommend this!

This book does a great job giving *DETAILED* descriptions of each of the episodes from Season 4, as well as the first few episodes of Season 5.

This book provides extremely interesting summaries and background information for each season four episode of the X-Files, but it has so many typos, grammar, and other mistakes that I wonder why its publication was delayed for six months. It obviously wasn't delayed for any thorough editing of the book.

It's almost as good as having a detailed script of every episode of this season! The detail that goes into the writing is beyond excellent! I didn't get involved with the X-files from day one, but I caught up by reading these excellent guides, and lots and lots of re-runs!

I love the X-Files, and I wanted to read more of the "backstory" of each episode.

Instead, most of the book is wasted on the synopses for each episode. Usually, 6 pages is wasted on the story summary, and only one page on the backstory.

We don't need 6 pages of story summary for each episode: we can watch that! Instead, give us more on the background! .

As an x-fan, I did read this book from cover to cover and I found itselft, an amazing book for everyone that call himself and x-philo.
This book is very good in everything, execpt for some pictures that were in b/w.... But that doesnt matter when you find, such an x-pectacular piece of art.

If you're an x files fan, you will appreciate this book. What I enjoyed was that every episode sypnosis followed the sequence of the television show. What was also great was that it gave background information on every episode.

i think this book is great,who cares about the black and white pictures??they r still pictures!it is great like the other 2 and i would highly recommend it to all u other x freaks out there who love the show like i do..and if u don't love it like i do...get it anyway!!

I really enjoyed this book, besides giving a detailed guide to The X-Files, it also gave us a glimpse behind the episodes. All the numbers on the show that have meanings, they gave us, plus they tell us the ones that don't mean anything!
