Product Description
Product Description
The characters featured include Harry Pearce, Adam Carter, Ruth Evershed, Zafar Younis, Malcolm Wynn Jones, Ros Myers and Jo Portman from the current cast and the enduringly popular Tom Quinn, Zoe Reynolds and Danny Hunter from the original line-up.
The files contain all the information that the fans could wish for, ranging from how the characters were recruited into MI5 to operational de-briefings and psychological treatment they have received and training they have endured.
Each character is brought to life in a way that the programme itself is unable to do as the book explores, in minute detail, the events that have shaped their lives and the effect their professional lives have had on them personally.

Format:Paperback
The Spooks books have been cleverly written to "add flessh to the bones" and personality the characters that appear in the TV Series. It helps to understand them better and what moulded them into who they are and why they continue to fight for Queen & country. By the end you feel they are your friends. Love them

I thought it was very good and detailed and just a good, fun read. There was some overlap between 1 + 2 but it was still good, it's worth the read to find out some more about the characters.

Format:Paperback
One of the most annoying publishing cliches is "A must read for any fan of the TV series" but in the case of "Spooks": The Personnel Files" it's absolutely correct. Presented in the form of a series of letters, interviews, reports and profiles it presents a fascinating backrgound for the main characters from the first four series. So here we go (deep breath). A must read for any fan of the TV series!

Meh
What can I say, I'm a big spooks fan. The book is OK, adds a little more to the characters but the author really should go back to writing kids books. Read more

The best book of its genre.
I read this book on a boring rainy day and was surprised to find it highly entertaining - despite having never watched the TV series. Read more
