I knew going into this book, that it was more detail about the various monsters, spirtis, and demons that the Winchester boys run into in the show Supernatural. I liked the idea of it and as I skimmed through the book before reading it, I liked the format of what I saw. I found some of the legends and such interesting. However, this book is very dry. I feel like this wonderful information could have and should have been presented a more entertaining manner. The book claims that this is coming from the narration of the Winchester brothers but in my opinion it didn't feel that way at all. The best parts of the book where the brief mentions of parts of the episodes from the show and the explanations given in more detail than what you get show more from watching the show. Again, those were few and far between. There should have been some pictures from the show in with the book also, to go along with the drawings. This book was a good idea, but poorly executed. show less
I really, really liked it, but a more recent version would be appreciated, since the book was published in 2009.
Un must pour les fans de Supernatural. Petite précision, le livre ne contient que les monstres présents dans les deux premières saisons. Une nouvelle édition mise à jour serait très appréciée.
