5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful by-the-book resource ..., 27 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book is a good resource for fans! It doesn't cover the roots of the series as well as Tod Hoffman's book, but then again Hoffman didn't cover the show much. Very good resource. If you buy this one, buy Tod Hoffman's as well, they make excellent companions! Also look for the Jerome Preisler novels, which are good, but not great reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Necessary, but not sufficient, 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
The Unofficial Companion is the first book to be written about Homicide, and it's a perfectly useful book. Contains enough useful and obscure information to be interesting, and is probably a must-read for the casual fan.

However, the hardcore fan of Homicide is more likely to be mystified by the numerous factual and plot-related errors in the book (a list is available online), and the rather bright-eyed attitude the author has towards nearly every episode of the show (despite the almost universally acknowledged decline in quality over the last few seasons).

Still, this is the only book out there, and it is a respectable undertaking. Although it is by no means the definitive work on the subject, it is worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the read, 31 May 1999
By A Customer
I love HLOTS and this companion book is essential for all fans of this superb show (shame on NBC for not renewing the show and at the same time keeping Suddenly Susan). David knows his stuff and goes into much detail about each episode and character motivations.
