Book Reviews of Finding Serenity: Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly (Smart Pop series)
Book Review: thought-provoking, but disappointing, collection of essays on a brilliant show
Summary: 3 Stars
A collection of essays dissecting one of the best science fiction series ever, the prematurely cancelled western-scifi Firefly. The essays range from whining about the cancellation to dissecting the philosophy, gender roles, music, themes, production, and blend of cultures on the show. While many of the essays leave much to be argued with, it cannot be argued that most of the essays are thought-provoking and definitely complimentary to the genius of the beloved television show. Grade: B+

Summary of Finding Serenity: Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly (Smart Pop series)
** COMPLETELY UNAUTHORIZED ** ?In this eclectic anthology of essays, former cast member Jewel Staite, "Kaylee," philosopher Lyle Zynda, sex therapist Joy Davidson, and noted science fiction and fantasy authors Mercedes Lackey, David Gerrold, and Lawrence Watt-Evans contribute to a clever and insightful analysis of the short-lived cult hit Firefly. From What went wrong with the pilot? to What's right about Reavers? and how the correspondence between the show's creator Joss Whedon and the network executives might have actually played out, the writers interrogate the show's complexity and speculate about what might have been if the show Firefly had not been cancelled.
