Monsters of the Week: The Complete Critical Companion to the X-Files by Emily VanDerWerff, Zack Handlen

4.0

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love The X-Files. While this book was food for my phile soul, what I liked best about it was how well it was written. The analysis of the writing on the show was fantastic. As someone who dreams of being a writer, it was a great time reading about single moments that changed the course of the show, unusual episode structure, the deeper messages in plot lines and the reason why some episodes worked and others didn’t. It took me forever to finish this book, but I loved every minute of it.
