GET LOST!. that is. if you havent already. Buy or rent the whole series and watch with careful attention to detail. Second. if you have already immersed yourself in the most satisfying work of television art of our time. you need Nikkis books. They are meant as companions to viewing and thats the best way to use them. Nikki is always careful to word her summaries so as not to spoil the episode. so its best to read her episode discussion first. and then view the show with her tips in mind. LOST is rich in meaning and attuned to literary culture. so its a good idea to read all the books referred to in the show. Impossible? Of course. but Nikki does it for you. and the book reviews she includes after episode summaries are excellent. and greatly help with understanding the deeper meaning intended.All the guides are wonderful. but Season Six is quite big and especially content-laden. The size is roughly the same as the first in her series. but then again. that first book covered two seasons. Throughout the guide are discussions that relate back to and illuminate happenings in seasons past. She thoroughly explains major characters. their back-stories and motives. Especially important is the long. thorough analysis of the finale -- so controversial. yet even diehard fans will be reading it and saying. "Oh. now I get what this or or that was about." from time to time. (Really. I wish the finale naysayers would take the trouble to read Nikkis book before posting their tiresome critiques). Also useful is the section near the end that tackles some unanswered questions. As per usual. there are quips from interviews with writers and cast. and lots of pictures.Nikkis writing is scholarly. readable. and often laugh out loud funny. And while she never holds back from sharing her nitpicks and moments of disappointment. she is always respectful of this wonderful show. Buy this guide. At this moment its pretty cheap and well worth more than twice the price.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Nikki Staffords LOST Bible...By K. McMeansLOST fans anxiously awaited each new Finding LOST book by Nikki Stafford. much the same way they anticipated each episode and season of the series. For us fans. there is nothing more official than Nikkis unofficial guides. The fact that she devoted over 50 pages alone to the series finale. The End. tells you much about her dedication to the show. No doubt she is one of us- a totally dyed-in-the-wool fanatic of the greatest TV show in television history. A true fan will not be without her books as they provoke thought and discussion as much as they clarify. Thanks Nikki for your years of LOST blogging and authoring. These books stand beside my LOST DVD collection in my bookshelf and as I continue to watch and re-watch these episodes in the years to come. Nikki will be my constant companion.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lost about Lost?By Rebecca ThompsonThis book is your invaluable guide to the final season of Lost. Whether you loved season 6. hated it or were too confused to know whether you loved or hated it. Nikkis book is sure to give you something new to think about. With episode by episode guides she leads you through the mysteries and the connections of the show. Filled with sidebars. fun facts. reviews of the books featured on the show. and hilarious add-ons (like Lost haiku) this is everything you need in a TV show guide. Whether youre watching the show for the first. fourth. eighth. or one hundred-eighth time. I can guarantee that Nikki will uncover something that you never noticed. or make a connection you never considered.
