Rating: Summary: Well Done Review: As a die-hard fan of all things McBeal, I enjoyed this book a great deal but thought that it did fall short in some places. It was a handy reference for the music heard on the show, but I have to agree with one of my fellow reviewers - where was a listing of guest stars? Overall, not bad (it is worth the money), but could have been a little better.
Rating: Summary: Hi...I'm the biggest fan of Ally from Taiwan Review: Hi, This is Kim Lin. I live in Taiwan. Because of some reasons, I missed some volume of Ally MacBeal (Season 1). I've tryed so many ways to get the copies, but failed. So I get on the internet to ask for help. Do you have all the copies of the season 1of Ally MacBeal? Would you sell me some? I'll pay you...please. I'm just simply addicted to watching this series... Please mail me back as soon as possible.
Rating: Summary: Where's the Magic? Review: I did enjoy this book, but as someone who loves the show for it's magical moments and the things that tug at your heart, it falls short. Some examples are that it does nothing to highlight Ally and John's special friendship. (How could they leave out the "Weirdest Person in the Room" comment in the guide for episode 202 "They eat horses, don't they?") Like-minded fans will know what I mean. Also, in the big episode after Billy and Ally kiss, when Billy says "I can't go another day without making love to you", the book ONLY says they plan to meet at her apartment, and then goes on to Ally's guilt hallucinations. It says NOTHING of the emotional scene at Ally's place where she tells Billy how she has imagined this moment a hundred times, and then "starts to cry." AND, the recap of my very favorite episode, "Angels and Blimps" (where Haley Joel Osment guests as the little boy with leukemia) was also fairly shallow. The book has a lot of great features, but it just didn't get me emotionally like watching the show did.

Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: I expected more from an "official" guide. The episode summaries (2 pages each) don't even include a listing of guest actors and the characters they played.
Rating: Summary: Great Gift for Die-Hard Fans Review: I purchased this as a gift for a friend who not only loves "Ally McBeal," but loves to read, so it appeared to be a perfect combination. And it was. She poured through it in less than a day and was quickly spouting off all the "Fish-isms" she'd memorized and was quite intrigued by the cast bio's. I, on the other hand, could have done without knowing all that I know now thanks to this book, but if you have an "Ally" fan in mind for a gift, you can't go wrong here.

Rating: Summary: an excellent book that seems very interesting Review: i think callista is an excellent actress and all of her movies / books and tv programmes are of great entertainment . Please email and tell me what u think , also make sure that u include a/s/l .
Rating: Summary: Way behind!!! Review: I think that it is a great book, but it only covers the 2 first seasons. And I have been looking after a second edition, with updatet a season guide. But without any luck.I only give it 3 stars because, it if a good book, with good design, characters, and all the other things a good book needs. But then 3th and now the 4th season is in the air, is the book worthless. But I hope that there is coming a new edition. Because without that is the book just like a history book without the second world war, and all what's coming after that.
