Book Reviews of The Unauthorized Guide to the X-Files
Book Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The definitive work on the subject. Schuster writes in an accessible and entertaining style while drawing upon his encylcopedic knowledge of this important TV series. My only nitpick is that the treatment of the stars is uniformly positive - you won't find any dirt here! But there's enough hard-to-find info to keep even the most-addicted fans awake in absorption. The cover looks great, too
