Loved it, went into hardcore detail of Charmed. It had little secrets about the show that even I didn't know about - I'm a a little too obsessive. I own every season of Charmed on DVD and can tell you the plot of an episode if you give me the title (and vise versa) from memory.

I really enjoyed the last 60 pages; the interviews with cast & crew.

Well this book is nice for the tv-series fans. I enjoyed the parts about the characters, the words list and the episode guide but things like what the producers or the hair/make-up people do and think don't interest met that much. Also, I was kinda disappointed that Prue wasn't really featured in this book while she is my favorite.

When I was 12, it was my life dream to own this book. I've read it cover to cover at least twice and most of it is just summarising each of the episodes from Seasons 1-5. And now that I have the money to actually buy it I don't want it all that much anymore. Oh well.

This reference guide to the series was comprehensive, and extremely entertaining to read. It contained detailed information on demons, spells, locales and many other magical elements central to Charmed.

For every hardcore Charmed fan out there this is the book to read. It covers details from everything and gives you inside information on the show that you might not have already known.
