2.0 out of 5 stars
Only for those who collect X-Files-related books,
By Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The X-Files Lexicon: X-References from Anti-Walton to Zuni (Paperback)
I have always been one of those obsessed X-Files fans who had to have everything I happened to come across relating to my favorite show. The X-Files Lexicon certainly does not qualify as an invaluable reference guide. It may prove slightly helpful to new fans that have just now begun watching the show in syndication or on DVD, but as long as you have actually watched or will watch the first three seasons of the show, the information in this book is really of little use. On top of that, many of the listings included here feature in-jokes that you may not even understand until your viewing of all the actual shows is complete, by which point you won't need this book. The book is organized in three distinct sections. The first and largest section is an alphabetical listing of important terms, places, and people. Following this is a short summary of all the episodes of the first three seasons. Additionally, you get a "case file datebook," which features a few scribbled dates and notes on facsimile monthly planner pages. Last and definitely least is a list of "addresses" which qualifies as overkill in my mind. I guess I'm saying this book isn't worth having unless you are an obsessive X-Files fans. When your friends come over, you can point to The X-Files Lexicon as yet another of the many X-Files-related books in your collection, and that in and of itself is about the best use you will be able to come up with for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This Book was Funny,
By A Customer
This review is from: The X-Files Lexicon: X-References from Anti-Walton to Zuni (Paperback)
This book was funny. That's the best way I can put it in words. Most of it was written in dictionary format, but it's best to read it cover-to-cover. Besides, the feeling that you've missed a joke in the book will cause you to read it straight through anyway. I really enjoyed one entry in the "U" section. It's the picture that sells the joke. But all the pictures were in black and white and the episode guide only goes through season 1 and 2. Also, you have to REALLY watch the X-files to understand it all.
2.0 out of 5 stars

All I have to say is: "Samantha Scully."
