If you like Lost, you love Finding Lost
I'll admit it, I'm a fan. But I became a fan because this series of books is so good! After watching the series on my own, and trying to find answers to my questions on-line I discovered Nikki's blog, [...] and her enlightening books. They have thoroughly enriched my experience of an already great television series.

The books are organized as follows: first she has thoughts on the episode itself, and how it relates to what we already know about the story and characters from previous episodes. Then she breaks out into several sections:

- Highlights (the funniest or most poignant moment),
- Did you notice? (possibly important clues to the story that you may want to remember),
- Interesting facts (things not necessarily in the show but related, like cultural references),
- Nitpicks (stuff that may not sit right or make complete sense at the moment),
- Oops (clear mistakes, usually in continuity),
- 4 8 15 16 23 42 (where the numbers appear or are relevant, surprisingly often!),
- It's just a flesh wound (who got physically hurt and how),
- Lost in Translation (anything in a different language not translated as part of the episode)
- Any Questions? (possibly the most important section, all the open questions from this episode - sometimes answered in later episodes, and sometimes left as a Lost mystery!)
- Ashes to Ashes (deaths)
- Music/Bands (Music on the show, which is usually very good)

IN between episode analyses, Nikki gives us background on the books that pop up in the show, and what their relevance is to the story.

*Bonus* Open questions we HOPE get resolved in Season 6.

And it is all written in a fun and accessible style.

Because of the level of detail and discussion, you can't stay "lost" for very long. Have a Lost fan in your life? This series of books make a great complementary gift to the DVD's, at least they did for me.

Simply the best series on TV - and the best series of books on LOST is right here
The arrival of the latest installment in Nikki Stafford's Season Guides to LOST is met with a resounding cheer by her gi-normous (and growing) fan base. Whether one is seeking to get caught up on the ground-breaking series' most recent episodes or stoking a passion for deeper understanding of the show's mythology, Nikki's clear and concise analysis offers fresh perspective on the narrative and enlightened commentary on the characters that fans have made their own for five seasons and counting. If you are already a devotee of Nikki's books, you share my envy of those who may be discovering her work for the first time. Take this book to the checkout and then call your family and friends; you'll be blissfully unavailable until you've finished it - and quite possibly read it again to make sure you haven't missed anything!

Insightful and Entertaining
Season 5 blew every Lost fan away with the intricacies, the plot twists and the fascinating insanity of Island life. Nikki's guide is the perfect "constant" to keep you on track. With episode by episode guides she gives you highlights, points out details you might have missed and helps to elucidate the many questions you will have racing through your head while keeping the tone light and entertaining.

If you are looking for something to enrich your Lost experience, look no further. Nikki's entire Finding Lost series are a must have for every Lost fan. I promise you will not be disappointed.
