Reviews

[Andrew · Rating 3 out of 5]

Now I will start but a clarification - the book was written on he completion of series 2 so the events in the following series (and some of them are pretty dramatic both in storyline and characters) are not referenced here - hence the lower review as I think they missed a trick but then again many series which finish before their time often do).

So the book takes a slightly different approach to others on this genre - in that you have several pages (often a double page some are more) on characters and places from the series. The text is a biography of the creative process along with any challenges or special requirements needed but the artwork is a mixture of set pictures, concept art and in some cases behind the scenes technical image on how something was achieved.

All in all a fascinating book which has different meanings depending on how deep or specific you read it.

Delving into the background of the show, this book deals mostly with design - makeup, artwork and the sets involved. Lots of excellent stills, including design drawings, and some quick but interesting interviews. A good look at the first two seasons, which were the best anyway.

I loved this book! But then again, I'm a huge fan of the show, so I think that's a given. The interviews were lovely (And we got to see the actors sense of humor (looking at you, Mison and Noble.)), the photos and drawings are absolutely lovely and I adored learning all these behind-the-scenes stuff. I had wanted this book for so long and finally but the bullet and I'm so glad I did. I would recommend it if you're a fan of the show. 5 out of 5 stars. Brilliant.

I found this to be a great book to read! I thoroughly enjoyed reading the interviews from the cast, the facts about the main characters, the demons, and the allies. The episode guide for both seasons was very helpful and I just started the second season a few weeks ago and after reading the episode guide for season two, I am very excited about some future episodes! Great background information on how the show came to be and what a great cast to bring this show to life! Great book.

Absolutely loved this book. Lots of great pictures of the cast and assorted characters throughout the first two seasons of the show, along with entertaining and informative interviews from all the cast, the director, costume designer, etc. A must have for any Sleepy Hollow fan.

I love Ichabbie so I brought this book because I wanted to know more. If you ever watch the tv show watch season 1 and 2 but please avoid season 3 at all costs.
