Here’s another interesting book on Lost. A little bit too academic for my tastes, but interesting none the less. Here’s an interview with the author (by a 12-year-old, so that’s interesting in itself):

It doesn’t just tell you what you should have noticed in an episode, it makes you take the information that all fans noticed and makes you look at it in a different way to come up with the answers.

I agree with Jen, this book is a challenge. You don’t just pick this book up and whiz through it. I’ve had it for a few weeks too and it really does take some time to work your way through it.

And it makes you stop and say hmmmm as you are working through it. I also agree that the first chapter is my favorite. If you were one of those people who ran to get online to figure out what the hieroglyphics on the Swan Hatch clock meant, or if you were addicted to The Lost Experience or Find 815, or even if you just love noticing things on the show and wondering where they will all fit in, you will love this chapter.

And I also love those matching puzzles, you’re sure when you start that you know the answers and then you get halfway through it and have to go back and try again, because what you think is the obvious answer isn’t always the correct answer.

For me, the toughest chapters were some of the chapters where you need to identify and locate quotes, sure I knew alot of the quotes, but then finding where they were hidden inside the puzzle took some time. They don’t just pop out at you.

I can’t imagine how many hours Anne Dawson put into this book but she did an outstanding job of creating it all. And I’m sure glad she took the time to do it right.

If you are a Lost fan, you’re gonna love it.
