Product Description:
Rarely has a cult TV show reached the level of Lost: -- An average of 15,000,000 viewers per week -- 12 Emmy nominations in its first year, including Best Drama -- Golden Globe winner for Best Drama -- Cast was named Entertainer of the Year for 2005 by Entertainment Weekly
And through it all, Lost has retained the core elements of a quality cult show: excellent writing, deep themes and plot twists that keep its fans loyal, talking and guessing.
Unlocking the Meaning of Lost is the first book to explore the philosophies and themes behind the hit show. It serves as both a guide to the mysteries as well as an analysis of the issues that the characters face, and how these issues reflect our life and society. Topics include: -- Second Chances -- The Nature of Faith -- Facing Fear and Loss -- Finding One's True Path
Released in time for the thrilling conclusion of season two, no Lost fan can afford not to have this book.

I had some great hopes for this book to help me through the long wait for season 3 to come onto DVD, while I ultimately wait for season 4 to start. I found allot of this to be a synopsis of the obvious. I was hoping for some intelligent theory on what is actually going on, on the island.

I read this book during the break in seasons 2 and 3.

It left me wondering what audience they were targeting with this book--huge Lost fans who are involved in the intertextuality of the show know all of this already, and casual fans won't be bothered by buying books. I also noticed that there is no speculation whatsoever in the book, and that ... Read More

What a horrible horrible book. This is not for Lost fans. This is for someone who's never seen Lost. It does not unlock or analyze anything. It pretty much reviews what has already happened. What a waste of money and time.

Good book, though sometimes it reads like a college paper. Covers most of Season 2.

Just watching the episodes of LOST on the TV, it's sometimes difficult to understand just what's going on, but after reading this book, and being able to read about LOST in black and white, alot of things are much more clearer to me now, and have helped me understand things I didn't understand before. I enjoyed reading it and would reccomend it.
