Book Reviews of Living Lost: Why We're All Stuck on the Island
Book Review: J Wood has you covered
Summary: 5 Stars
If I ever had to complain about Lost, it would be about the way they leave me hanging and bewildered. All the while that I have watched this show I know there are a million things that I'm just not picking up on, and therefore I'm Lost.
And then along came J Wood to the rescue.
I first came across J when I ran into his blog on Powells.com. He guts out each episode six ways to Sunday, and then he checks back in to answer further questions. What I like best about J's analysis of Lost is that its clear that he's not just a TV nerd. He seems to know a little something about everything. Not only does J understand the intricacies of what is happening on the show, he delivers about six more layers of meaning to everything that happens on the show.
These layers are described beautifully in his book, making you see the show entirely different, and even some aspects of real life.
Living Lost has value as cultural criticism, a lesson in literary theory, the answers to all of your lost questions, and just a plain old entertaining read. I've read it twice and still reference it as an excellent coffe table reader.
Summary of Living Lost: Why We're All Stuck on the Island
Miracles, viruses, plane crashes and acts of terror perpetrated by a group of Others. This is the perplexing and radical world created by J.J. Abrams in his hit television show, LOST. Joley Wood, with wit and insight, explores the shows quirky details, and argues for an idea as weird as the show itself: That weOre all stuck on the island.General Broadcasting Books
