The Nitpicker's Guide for X-Philes

Summary: The Great American Novel
Review: This is one of the best book I've read in a long time! Phil Farrand gives you summaries of the plot, great moments and lines, as well as all the detailed, nitpicky stuff. I can't tell you how many times I found myself nodding and saying "I noticed that too!" or "That's my favorite line too!" while reading this book. It doesn't take away from your viewing pleasure and is a lot of fun to read. And, being a true nitpicker, I found that Phil didn't mention Senator Matheson calling Mulder "Fox" in "Little Green Men" even though he said it at least twice! Reading this honed my nitpicking skills as well, a result being that I have found several nits in recent episodes, which is always fun. What a great book!

Summary: This book is great!!!!!
Review: When I first got this book, I hadn't seen that many episodes, so it was good for me to look back and refer to old storylines. But, I began to read it through and realized it is a great book!!!! I especially loved the sidebars, such as "Least and Worst" and "Romance Tote Board." However, it is a shame that it only goes up to the end of season 4. I hope that Mr. Farrand writes about seasons 5-7 plus the movie. Every time I watch a new episode, I wonder what he thinks of it. Finally, I loved Mr. F's sarcasm and what he thinks is cool and what's not. No X-Files fan should be without this book. If you watch old episodes, you'll be able to pick out his nits, plus some of your own!!! Yes, this book has made me a nitpicker of sorts. Here's to a great book, Mr. Farrand!!! I hope to read an updated version soon!!!!

Summary: The greatest book for true X-Philes!!!
Review: Whether you are a die-hard X-Phile or just a once-in-awhile watcher, this book is the best. Ever since I started reading it, it's become habit for me to look for nit-picks (mistakes). That doesn't mean I don't love the show. For me, that's just another way for me to connect to the show. It makes me really pay attention to what's going on, and tests my knowledge from episodes from previous episodes. Here's an example: a while back during I believe Ascension, Mulder learned that Scully had received her golden cross necklace for her 15th birthday. However, in Emily, it shows both Dana and Melissa receiving them for Christmas. Nit-Pick!! If you get this book, please try to find some nit-picks and test you knowledge. Happy Hunting!!

Summary: Not for fanatics Only
Review: While reading this book I realized just how much I hadn't noticed when watching the episodes. The scientific facts were interesting. Some of the comments were hilarious. Fanatics might enjoy the quizzes -- I flubbed them all. I'd like to thank the author for including the index to help watchers figure out which episode they're watching. Even if you hate nitpicking, the index should make the book worth your while. I hope there will be supplemental volumes for later seasons. Ann E. Nichols
