Book Reviews of Unlocking the Meaning of Lost: An Unauthorized Guide
Book Review: Good information but boring (nothing new)
Summary: 3 Stars
I had some great hopes for this book to help me through the long wait for season 3 to come onto DVD, while I ultimately wait for season 4 to start. I found allot of this to be a synopsis of the obvious. I was hoping for some intelligent theory on what is actually going on, on the island.
In fact, I found quite a bit of the pontificating about various metaphors to be weak at best and just off track at its worst. Meaning I disagreed with allot of what speculation they did offer. If you frequent any LOST message boards, you will find this to be remedial and light to boring reading.
If you are just getting into LOST... this would be a good place to go to get up to date before you hit any intense discussion websites etc...
Summary of Unlocking the Meaning of Lost: An Unauthorized Guide
Rarely has a cult TV show reached the level of Lost: -- An average of 15,000,000 viewers per week -- 12 Emmy nominations in its first year, including Best Drama -- Golden Globe winner for Best Drama -- Cast was named Entertainer of the Year for 2005 by Entertainment WeeklyAnd through it all, Lost has retained the core elements of a quality cult show: excellent writing, deep themes and plot twists that keep its fans loyal, talking and guessing.
Unlocking the Meaning of Lost is the first book to explore the philosophies and themes behind the hit show. It serves as both a guide to the mysteries as well as an analysis of the issues that the characters face, and how these issues reflect our life and society. Topics include: -- Second Chances -- The Nature of Faith -- Facing Fear and Loss -- Finding One's True Path
Released in time for the thrilling conclusion of season two, no Lost fan can afford not to have this book.
