Book Reviews of the The Prisoner: The Village Files
Customer Review: Well-intentioned, but I would skip it
Summary: 2 Stars
The creator is obviously a sincere and observant fan of the series, and this effort deserved to be better than it turned out. Basically this is a rather thin book of drawings. Plan views of buildings, vehicles, pieces of equipment, signage, and whatever else the author could find. There's very little commentary or text, and there are some problems with what is there. For instance the author describes the large round doors in Number Six's home as being "Rover-friendly" but doesn't explain how Rover would enter through the narrow front door! He also gives credence to the story that the Prisoner is the John Drake character from an earlier series, even though McGoohan denies it.
I was a little surprised at the limited coverage of clothing. It may be that there just isn't enough information out there, but extremely detailed drawings, and perhaps even patterns would be useful for the truly fanatical folks who want to create their own Village-style clothing!
About the only thing in this that made me say "Ah, that's interesting!" was a diagram of the layout of all the different nameplates in front of the masked audience in the Fallout episode. It isn't really useful or vital, but I was curious at all the different groups listed--Anarchists, Old Folks, etc.
I can't recommend it for the money.
