Superb: Exactly What Fans Want!

"24: Behind the Scenes" is a book featuring an inside look at the hit television drama "24." The text is by Jon Cassar, with photos by Jon Cassar, Rodney Charters, ASC CAC, and many of the filmmakers of "24." It includes a foreword by main star Kiefer Sutherland. The photos in here are delightful, revealing and a true treat for fans. You'll find everything in here from action shots to off-set looks at the cast and crew as they really are. You'll find a variety of photo-styles taken with a variety of camera. Jon Cassar's comments are enjoyable and reveal additional background information. This book is laid out with photo sections for all of the first five seasons of the program, all that were available at press-time. Also included are sections for Making "24," Production Design and Celebrity Guests (visitors to the set have included John Mayer, Eva Langoria and even Rush Limbaugh.) This book finishes off with a nice bonus disc featuring commentary from the people who made the book. If you're a true fan of "24," you need to se this.

For the ultimate '24' fan, nothing can beat this book!

I don't normally review things, but this book was *so* good, I just had to share my feelings! Right now this is quite possibly the best gift you can any '24' fan - it's even up-to-date through season 5. It's packed full of high resolution photos (none are grainy or blurry) detailing behind-the-scenes events, actors goofing around, and what I call "fictionally realistic" events. The latter being photos that are true to the fictional event in question, with no third-party distractions in them - similar to film stills, but with much better quality. For the '24' obsessed fan, this book is truly beyond 5 stars!

24 - Behind the scenes

I bought this book for my wife - a Kiefer freak - and she loves it. It is not just pictures but additional material written about the characters. The included DVD is nice also. Good information on there.

Great Pictures Highlight Book

I really appreciate the quality of this book of pictures and information about 24. It gives a great sense of how the show is put together and lots of informal shots of the cast and crew. It recaps each season and gives the reader insight into the different camera angles and thought that go behind some of the most memorable scenes of this ground breaking series. Definitely a great investment for any fan of 24 and Kiefer Sutherland,

24: Behind the Scenes

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Well worth buying. Loved the insider details about how filming and capturing certain scenes is done. Really helps you appreciate the hard work and effort that goes into making this incredible show what it is. Not surprisingly, Kiefer does most of his own stunts!
