Wow - Exciting, Interestering, and Fun to Read!

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2003

Verified Purchase

I am a huge Alias fan. I found this book to be a great addition to my Alias collection. The book is very interesting with details about the characters, actors, design sets, and just about everything. I was interested in how some of the actors and actresses have kind of created their own characters behind the "script". It was a very fun and exciting read. I would reccomend this to anyone who is a fan of alias. You will not be disappointed as this book is entertaining AND informative, which is quite hard to find these days. If you enjoy Alias, you will love this book.

Everything You Wanted to Know About the First Season

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2003

I happened to be home the Sunday this show premiered in September of 2001. I was curious, so I watched. It wasn't too long before I was hooked. I had to know what would happen next and how Sydney would get out of yet another predicament. Anyone who knows me will tell you I've become a die hard addict, so when I found out about this book, I had to get a copy.
Everything you might possibly want to know about this show is included between the covers. It starts by discussing J.J Abrams ideas that lead to the show and goes through the first season finale. Along the way, you get a behind the scenes look at everything from location scouting to costuming, color schemes, and the sets. Heck, I even learned some new stuff while reading. The last section includes detailed on set reports of the filming of the season finale.
A highlight of the book is the detailed episode guide. Here, the author breaks every episode down to plot threads and keeps the story straight for us. It's wonderful if you need to catch up on some shows or just want a quick reminder of what's already happened.
No matter how fanatical about Alias you are, this is a wonderful book. It will help fill in gaps or just give you a better picture of all the work that goes on behind the scenes to bring us one of the best shows currently on television.

Worthy Companion

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2002

The ABC spy drama "Alias" is only into it's second season, but the hype and cult status created by it's fans almost forced the creation of "Declassified: The Official Companion". If, like me, you're a huge fan of the show, then "Declassified" is JUST what you need.
Packed within 202 pages are sketches, interviews, episode recaps, actor/character bios, show nomination information, and some neat trivia that the "Alias" fan should find interesting. Author Mark Cotta Vaz has done a subpurb job at bringing all of the show's elements together into an easy to read, highly entertaining book. He takes you from the creative minds behind the storylines (creator JJ Abrams and writer Jesse Alexander)to the sets and finally to post production, where the "magic" really happens. You'll also find storyboards, costume sketches, theme music compositions, and Rambaldi artifacts and information, which are VERY important to understanding if you watch the show.
The most enjoyable part of the book for me personally are the pictures. The cover is absolutely breathtaking, with the beautiful Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow and her signature red hair. Inside you'll find more pictures of Sydney, Vaughn, Dixon, and the rest of the characters that you love...and hate.
An added bonus, and something that I really enjoyed, was the limited edition DVD that was included with the book. On it are interviews, behind the scenes shots, bios, wallpaper, screen savers and information on the hottest online game at the moment, Alias Online Adventure.
In short, if you're a fan of the show, YOU MUST BUY THIS BOOK! For those who are just becoming fans, the book will fill you in on everything from last season so that you can understand and enjoy the new one. Let's hope that in a few years, another updated version of the companion will come out.

"Alias is a story about identity."

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2002

"Alias Declassified"opens with the six words I use in the title of this review. And with these words in mind, author Mark Cotta Vaz deftly chronicles the origins and the production of the first season of the ABC drama "Alias."
The book is written with the finesse one would expect of a New Yorker feature article and as such is conspicuous in its economy and elegance of language. At the outset, Mr. Vaz invites the reader along to the famed Disney lot to explore the mystery at the core of "Alias," that "things are never what they seem," with the proviso that this is as true in TV production as it is in life.
For me, the behind-the-scenes insights are the best feature of the book. There are many thoughtful quotes from the main players, both those on camera and off. The photographs are an excellent mix of studio stills, shots from production, and even informal cast and crew shots. Mr. Vaz really shines when he focuses on the wizards who create the world of "Alias". From Sydney's fantastic costumes and make-up, to the special effects, to the gadgets, even the gorgeous Rambaldi drawings all receive loving attention and ample display in a book with exceedingly high production values of its own.
At 206 pages, this book isn't comprehensive and wisely doesn't try to be. Even so, as a script junkie, I found the episode summary section disappointingly thin, lacking depth of plot and action points. I would have been deliriously happy if they had treated each episode with the same deep exposition and description as they did "Almost Thirty Years." Maybe they are saving this for an episode guide companion book, well, one can hope!
Nit picks-where were the quotes from the dialogue of the key scenes and how could they have entirely overlooked the great puzzle of the push-throughs?
For me, the best test of "Alias Declassified" is that by the last page, I felt I had learned some previously undisclosed truth about the identity and the character of "Alias." Seeing season two now, this generous book has really enhanced my viewing experience.
