'Overall the Companion is a fun read, with lots of interesting tidbits about the show and the storylines. If you re a fan of the show, you should buy it.' --TV Overmind
'I found the S4 Companion to deliver the goods in terms of providing all the background information you could ever want on the show's two main characters.' --Joblo

Product Description
The hit show from the producers of "The O.C." and "The X-FiIes", starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, continues its spooky road-trip through the dark heart of America. Dean is freed from Hell and resurrected by the angels, but the Winchester brothers have to pay a high price for his life. Soon they find themselves pulled into the battle between angels and demons as they learn of the impending apocalypse. Along the way, Sam and Dean must also deal with a rugaru, a siren, ghouls, witches, the unusual return of the Trickster, and their own family's past. This official companion is packed with exclusive interviews, photos, behind-the-scenes secrets, a complete episode guide, plus a colour portrait gallery of the stars.

If you have the previous 3 season's companions then you will know what kind of thing to expect.
As with the other books in this series of companions the book is wider than A5 size.
There is a background summary of each episode for the season and as well as the usual interviews with Jensen Ackles (Dean) and Jared Padalecki (Sam), along with Jim Beaver (Bobby Singer), Misha Collins (Castiel), Mark Rolston (Alastair), etc. Eleven interviews in total, though most are only one page in length but "Sam" and "Dean" get 4 pages each (including one black and white full page photo).
There are the usual glossy, full page, full colour, photos; 16 in total.
I still find the "did you know" boxes interesting, but I have one for the publishers. Did you know that you have repeated the same one on page 10 and page 12?
Included are the usual "music" information side boxes for those famous tunes that you just can't remember the name of. They are always handy to have.
Once again this is a great book to have along side you when you are watching the DVD boxset so you can check on those little points that slipped past you. For example, the episode made after Kim Manners death "Jump the Shark" is full of acknowledgements to their missing friend.
It is great to see a companion that has kept up the high standard it set throughout the books.

SUPERNATURAL - GRAVE DISCOVERIES
3 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
For fans of SUPERNATURAL, this series of Official Companion books is exactly what it claims to be: an excellent partner to the shows themselves, sharing with the reader the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the making of this addictive TV show. This fourth volume follows the same formula as the previous three: a synopsis and discussion of every episode, a generous helping of color photos featuring the cast, plenty of black and white photos spread throughout the book, essays on the various monsters that populate the season, discussions about the show's crew, and chapters on the season's main characters (featuring comments by the actors who played them.)
This book is fun to read and author Nicholas Knight does a very good job of bringing context and depth to the material included. It's worth noting that these books do not shy away from the cast, creators, or crew taking a critical view of their work as well as sometimes praising it, which helps to add dimension to the experience of discovering what makes this show tick. You will also find a complete cast listing for every episode.
One word of caution: don't read this book until you've seen the shows. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the fifth volume in the series. The journey of Sam and Dean Winchester continues to be a fascinating one to follow and this book adds additional layers to the paths they traverse. Enjoy!

A must for fans of the show
4 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
These season guides are always at their best when producers, directors and actors are sharing their insights and this edition has plenty of good stuff on Supernatural's 4th season. On the weaker side, we get costume designers, set designers, etc, giving us a little too much detail on the stresses of finding the perfect rain coat, etc. I found this to be an easy read and I actually learned a few things in the process. If you like the show, get the book, too

This book was great. If you watch the show, you have to have this book! The best part about that is that one comes out for every season.
