Nice guide to series beginning, could have a little more information
Nice little guide to season 1 with information on each episode. You'll find out who starred, guest starred, the music used (the DVD set doesn't do that), trivia bits and a photo or two. Each episode is given a paragraph or so about the story followed by a page or two about behind the scenes things by cast & crew. There is also a made up Torch or Smallville Ledger article related to each story.
About the middle of the book there is a section of color cast photos, they aren't really episode related but seem to have been taken on location.
The final portion of the book has an indepth section on the season finale episode "Tempest" followed by character profiles, including actor comments, there's aso a short "meet the crew" bit and one about the popularity of the show.
My biggest complaint about the book is that there are no airdates given for any of the episodes, and you can get them from the DVD set.

Smallville - Season 1 Companion
This is a great book and a must have for any Smallville Fan. My favorite parts are how they list the music that is in every episode, how they quote the show, and how they have a detailed description of each major character in the show. You should buy this book and you should also buy the Smallville - Season 2 Companion with it.

A good book about Smallvilles third season.
The book ist well structured and contains interesting information about the characters on the show and the actors themselves. Also the episodes are explained in a comprehensive way , so that the storylines become understandable even to those people who are not Smallville addicted ones yet. These days I own all the three companion books about Smallvilles Season One to three, which I purchased from amazon.com online.
I like these books a lot and have almost completed them one by one. The three official companions can only be recommended ! I`m already looking forward to The official Companion Season 4 by Craig Byrne, which I hope will contain coloured pictures. THats why I rated this item with only four stars and not five. In the first three companions all the pictures where in black and white, besides a coloured photo gallery ( the actors ) in the middle of each book.
