Product Description:
Miracles, viruses, plane crashes and acts of terror perpetrated by a group of Others: This is the perplexing and radical world of the television show Lost. With wit and insight, J. Wood explores the show's strange engagement with the psychodynamics of the war on terror/ism we all experience through the media and mediated government -- war, (mis)information, terrorism -- and re-works those psychodynamics through its narrative. And that argument underlies a broader discussion of the mysteries and secrets and strange narrative forms the show has taken on. There's also an appendix that goes over the major characters up through the six-episode miniseries and discusses how the themes of the narrative are refracted through the characterizations.

After reading all the reviews on this book, I was very excited to receive it and read it cover to cover. Wood's literary, scientific, and character analyses were very good--he is a learned person. In fact, one of the reasons I love Lost is that politics are left out of it. Imagine my surprise when a large percentage of the book is dedicated to a left-wing political agenda.

Although this book was written before the third season, Living Lost delves into every aspect of the show: the names, the numbers, the psychology, the literary references, and so on.

The cross-referencing is helpful - different aspects of the same "truth" covered under different headings. He couldn't help pontificating on some ... Read More

The first part of this book is a fully overview of the Lost thematics, included a great analysis of the related literature and information about the scientific aspects such as Minkowski space, covering seasons 1, 2 and a few episodes of the third one.
The last part of the book is a detailed description of all the characters , even Pickett and Colleen have their (although short) chapter...and so the Lost Experience guys (Rachel, Mittelwerk, etc.), with really every connection among them! ... Read More

Well I guess I am in the minority here! A heads up to all the LOST fans that would like something to complement the show LOST. This is NOT the book for you, unless you do want a work of criticism...on EVERYTHING! Thomas Hancock is correct, "Not a guide, great cultural criticism." But where I disagee is that it is not great if you dont agree with writer J Wood's beliefs.
Beeker is also correct, " He seems to know a little something about everything." The author sure did put his two cents ... Read More

This book is a great starter for anyone interested in the literary references found throughout the television show.
J. Wood is extremely insightful and articulate and it is apparent that he is a fan of the show.
