Description

Lost ate my life!' is the collective cry from the hardened fanbase of this massively popular TV series. Split into two halves, this digest of the show demonstrates, first, how it was the first show to combine the artists and patrons of the programme by sponsoring the largest independent discussion forum in history; and second, an examination of the plot itself interwoven with the story of the fandom. Begs the question, 'What is it about Lost that so captures the imagination' This is a tour de force look into a truly tour de force show.'

Reviews

"Well documented and researched, almost lovingly so." --"Sacramento Book Review"
"The best book about "Lost "I have ever read, mostly because it's not so much about the show but about us, the fans. . . . I've read many a "Lost "book about theories, episode recaps, and the possible meaning of the mythology, but this book, all about the fans, climbed to the top of my list before I had even finished the first chapter." --About.com
