Product Description
Synopsis
Fully revised to include seasons four and five, this text presents an analysis of "The X-Files". While sometimes witty and lighthearted, the book aims to be a serious study of the elements that have made the show what it is. As well as a detailed episode-by-episode guide, the book pieces together the nature of the series' conspiracy and attempts to discover just what the "truth" is. The book also contains a special feature on the X-Files film and reveals such information as Deep Throat's first name, what "chinga" means and the connection between the conspiracy and a famous line of home-baked dough products.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was alright, but I've read better!, 22 Feb 2000
By H. M. Mcbey (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed this book, but I have to admit I've preferred others. It was written from a definitely male perspective (ie the "Phwoar" section for "One Breath") But it was pretty detailed, and I would recommend it. A shame, though, that it doesn't include season six!

4.0 out of 5 stars fabulous book 4 anyone wanting to understand the show better, 22 Feb 1999
By A Customer
The book is written by a group of british writers, and as such contains a POV that may not reflect that of the reader. The book is incredibly detailed and is a wonderful reference for any fan (the dedicated and the newbies) who wishes to have it all put together. Wonderfully referenced and cross-referenced I have only 3 complaints 1 - it suffers from historical hindsight in tryng to demonstrate that everything that has ever occured, has been part of the conspiracy. It's like putting a square peg in a round hole and IMHO their mistakes in doing so are glaring 2 - they review every episode and discuss its relevance to the conspiracy. For once I'd like a book that is written in the reverse. a chapter on the aliens, a chapter on the conspirators themselves, a chapter on those who aid and hinder Mulder & Scully, and each one references the episodes. In this way all information relevant to a particular topic is all together not spread out waiting for me to find them in a specific episode review. 3 - they draw conclusions that I just cant agree with such as that Deep throat was never really trying to help them. all in all an excellent book despite these criticisms. it has widened my eyes and made certain things clear that I might never have figured out on my own without spending a month watching and re-watching the episodes (which sounds like fun shopuld I ever have the time to do so!!!!!)
