Product Description

When Desperate Housewives debuted on ABC last fall, viewers were served up a dish of delectable characters and delicious plot twists. This Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning show offers a glimpse into life in the suburbs-and it+s not all soccer moms and PTA meetings. From the lovably clumsy single mom Susan, to the perfectionist homemaker Bree, to the harried mother of three Lynette, to the vixen-next-door Gabriela, these housewives defy stereotypes.This first official Desperate Housewives fan guide gives viewers an irresistible glimpse into the world of Wisteria Lane. With profiles and interviews of the cast and creative team, never-before-told anecdotes and set details, glamorous photographs of the housewives (both in and out of character), as well as fascinating details from the writers and producers on what it takes to make the show-including a foreword written by the show+s creator and executive producer, Marc Cherry, on his initial inspiration in creating the show.

I ordered this book as soon as I found out it was coming out. It is full of interviews and information plus extra goodies for those of us **addicted** to Desperate Housewives. If you love the show this book (and the 1st season DVD) are a must have.
Pour a glass of wine, put up your feet and enjoy!

This review is from: Desperate Housewives: Behind Closed Doors (Paperback)

If you are a fan of Desperate Houswives, then this is for you. It's choc-full of various bits and pieces all relating to the show.
With chapters such as The Tangled Wisteria Lane, The Housewives, Desperate Husbands, The Houseguests and Episode Guide to name a few, there is something for everyone here of interest. There are great pictures (mostly stills from the show), quotes from various characters and information regarding the way the program is made. There are in-depth interviews with the cast and their profiles and on and on.
I was given this today as a gift and it's so ideal because I'm a fan. So if you are looking for a gift too, or just a treat for yourself, then pick this up because it's very good and there is a lot of fun reading to do.
