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.

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!

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!
