Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great but occasionally annoying
Review: This book really has it all for the nitpicker who loves minutiae, seasons 1 through 4. My only issue with with this book is, occasionally, the author's "annoyingness." To him, his book represents an chance not only for him to point out details and errors in the episodes of The X-Files, but also to evaluate them -- and share his perception (and often unfunny jokes) with his captive audience. This personal editorializing doesn't interest me, but I'm willing to bear it to learn of the fascinating inconsistencies, oddities of equipment and setting, and illogical leaps or related faux pas that the series commits -- and that I'd almost never notice without the pointing of his ever vigilant finger.

Summary: A fun book
Review: This is a fun book and it espacially helps you get more use out of your X-Files tapes and DVDs. I bought this along with a copy of the sessions on DVD. It doesn't get 4 stars just because a lot of nicks get tedious after a while.

Summary: This book has changed the way I view "The X-Files"
Review: This is a great book. I wasn't a nitpicker myself until I actually bought it. Phil Farrand has a funny sarcastic way of viewing the show. I always have this book with me when I'm watching the x-files.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is well written and very explanatory
Review: This is a great x files book , because I am like the biggest x files fanatic ever. The way the book is written is awesome it has trivia,maps of Mulder and Scully's apartments,bloopers,equiptment problems,cast lists,plots on the episodes that you could never get the object of.The author's opinion on the 5 best and worse episodes.Like the #1, and I agree is Jose Chung's From Outer Space. If you have the dough,get this book. It's great, thats why I gave it 5 stars.

Summary: Wow! Excellent read!
Review: This is an awesome book. I'm a Nitpicker myself, but it was amazing what I had missed in the episodes. You can open it up to any page and start reading; in fact, I do that each night. The humor is a key element ("Hey buddy! I not only framed you, but I ate your leftover pizza too!" --Farrand's take on Tooms), and I really liked the sidebar "Whose Truth Is Out There?" It gave me a better look into the characters, die-hard Phile that I am. I'd have to recommend this as one of the best X-Phile books written...
