Book Reviews of Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 2
Book Review: A good enough book, but far from great
Summary: 3 Stars
I guess I'm just a bit spoiled when it comes to tv show guides, but the first one I ever read, was Keith Topping's Angel unofficial guide, "Hollywood Vampire", followed by his Buffy one - "Slayer". The depth and attention to detail that Topping shows are unparalleled.
The Supernatural Companion for S2 is the first one I've bought, but seeing that the author is the same for all three books published so far, I doubt there's much difference.
It's an interesting read, but it lacks depth. Every episode gets four pages (except for the season finale) and those are filled with mostly uninteresting trivia about costumes and special effects. The occasional fun stuff is there as well, and the song guides are pretty cool. BUT it lacks any in-depth analysis (maybe I'm just expecting a little bit too much from an OFFICIAL companion). And I hate it when I've seen stuff the author of a guide book has either missed, or omitted from his writing. For example, there's no mention of the irony of Amber Benson (who plays a reformed vampire in one of the episodes) being an important character from Buffy (where she FIGHTS vampires).
Anyway, it's a nice book and I'll be buying the rest of the Supernatural guides. But I sure as hell hope an unofficial companion pops in with more in-depth material. Because there is nothing here that I didn't already know...
