3.0 out of 5 stars Friends Like Us, 30 Dec 2003
I have had this book for a year or so now, and it is very informative. Its useful to use if you want to check back to previous episodes of Friends to check what happened, when are where. Its pretty well written and quite funny. I only wish the authors would write a new one including the most recent series as this book only goes up to series 6 :(

3.0 out of 5 stars A few surprises, 17 Feb 2006
The authors of this book clearly know their Friends: if you're looking for facts, this isn't a bad place to turn, since although it doesn't go deep into meaningless trivia, it does clear up some confusions I had concerning Americanisms (what a Q-tip is, for example). However, the opinions of the authors are frequently suspect, never more so in their treatment of The One Where Noone's Ready, an episode from series 3 that is probably the best Friends episode ever created. They lambast the episode, clearly misunderstanding the whole purpose and direction of Friends comedy in its earliest (and, undoubtedly, greatest) series. This is not an isolated case, as many opinions, particularly with regards to the later series the book covers, will grate with anyone who truly appreciates Friends, and possibly ruin the credibility of the tome as a whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy one Friends book, make sure it's this one!, 19 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Friends Like Us: The Unofficial Guide to "Friends" (Paperback)
This paperback book is written by two true fans of the show. They researched extensively, using many online resources (including the Friends mailing list and many of the fans' sites - all of which are acknowledged at the back of the book), and the result was a comprehensive "bible" of the first four seasons.

The book has three or four pages dedicated to each episode, containing a summary of the show, "first aired" dates, and sub sections as a recurrent theme throughout (such as "Slow Joey", "Freaky Monica" and "Dinosaurs Rock!").

The sense of humour of the authors, as well as their obvious love for the show, shines through on every well written page. An excellent reference volume, as well as a generally entertaining read!

I used it extensively when adding the "finer details" on my website, and I would recommend it to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deeply Tedious
I do not like the Friends. They have no ancestors. This book did not change my mind. I will not buy more copies to give to my village. I am downtrodden by this.
