Product Description
The perplexing plotlines and bewildering array of characters on the Emmy and Golden Globe award–winning television program Lost are analyzed and pieced together in this in-depth exploration. Both devoted fans and new viewers can approach the upcoming season with a solid understanding of events from Seasons 1 and 2 with the insightful commentary, copious episode analysis, and thoroughly detailed sections on the links between seemingly disparate events and each character’s back story. Questions such as How do the characters’ pasts intertwine? What do the animals on the island represent? and What is the religious, historical, and spiritual significance of the infamous number sequence 4 8 15 16 23 42? are addressed as well as the importance of the many literary references on the show. Cast member biographies and never-before-seen photos are also included.

 Perfect Companion Guide for "Lost" Lovers November 8, 2006
C. Crockett (Indiana, USA)
37 out of 38 found this review helpful
While previous guides for the serial drama "Lost" have often left something to be desired, the book "Finding Lost: The Unofficial Guide" more than makes up for it.
Nikki Stafford's attention to detail (and believe me, *all* "Lost" fans should have a great attention to detail) is thus far unparalleled in any other guide book.
You name it, this guide book has it. In addition to the usual episode synopsis, Stafford provides readers with all the information they can handle, including keeping track of the appearances of the "numbers", discussing theories, pointing out bloopers and continuity errors, illuminating connections, and just generally proving that she has watched way more "Lost" than any of us. In addition to all that, Stafford gives the low-down on each of the "Lost" cast members, before they became Losties.
Even if you have watched each episode of "Lost" 4 or 5 times, and think you have caught every little nuance and clue hidden within it, I guarentee you'll read this book and discover things you didn't catch, or never thought of. One of my favorite features in this book is the essay that details and explains everything on the "invisible" map that Locke briefly gets a glimpse of in season 2 during the episode "Lock Down" when the blast door comes down on top of his legs, and a black light switches on, illuminating the secret map.
Bottom line, this book is a must have for serious "Lost" fans. It would also be a great aid to anybody who is just now beginning to get into "Lost".
Finally, a well-written Guide for the TV series LOST October 3, 2006

I waited with anticipation and some apprehension for the publication of yet another "LOST Unofficial Guide." I've been disappointed in the past, but this book was well worth the wait. Ms Stafford has done an excellent job! Her book is informative, insightful, and just plain fun to read! Like most "LOSTies," I'm interested in the theories and all the other interesting details and tidbits about the series, but just don't have time to search for "easter eggs," interesting tidbits, even small mistakes. However, I do enjoy reading about them and discussing them with other "LOSTies." She not only gives quite a lot of information about the series, but gives brief overviews of the books mentioned or referenced in the series.
Don't get "Lost" without it! December 10, 2006
RDK (Dallas, TX USA)
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Being a latecomer to the "Lost" phenomenon, I was looking for a guide without too much publicity fluff that would help clue me in to all (or most) of the insiders' info: all the theories, back-stories, easter eggs and literary/cultural references that are packed into each fascinating episode. "Finding Lost: The Unofficial Guide" is just what I was looking for. The book is organized by episode with lots of extra features that are great for the "Lost" fan who missed discussing this show at the watercooler the first time around. Nikki Stafford has put together an informative, fun and fascinating book that I would recommend to any fan of this series.
Very Detailed November 11, 2006

This was the first "Lost" book I've ever purchased and I was not disappointed. My personal favorite part was the summaries of the show's literary references. Really interesting stuff. The amount of detail in this book is astounding. Anything you could ever hope to know about the first two seasons is in here. R.I.P. Boone.
Best Guide Out There for Lost December 1, 2006
Brian Douglas (Baltimore, MD USA)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
There are many guides to the show, and I highly recommend this one above all others. This book, which covers up to the end of season 2, is well written by an author that has great insight into the characters. Also, you won't find the frequent spelling and grammer errors that plague the other books, making them read like they were written by a fourth-grader. All in all, if your looking for a guide to Lost, buy this book! You'll get your money's worth, and won't regret it.
