How Xena changed my life

This book is absolutely great. I could relate to many of these stories by fans. I had similar experiences too, with some of them, and I cried to some of these stories, I laughed with others. Particularly well done is the section dedicated to the late Kevin Smith,that was touching, and I will always remenber Kevin, so will the fans. Thanks for writing this book.

Touching, funny and a great Xenite adventure

Now, first, I promise I'm not just giving this book 5 stars because Nikki is a good pal of mine, nor because I have a segment in it (Forget Eden, Give Me Adrienne).Nikki Stafford has passion for the books she writes/edits. From her first book "Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor: Warrior Stars of Xena" to this one, Nikki never fails to grasp the fandom. "Warrior Stars" to this day is the best compainion book for "Xena." "How Xena Changed Our Lives" was created when Nikki had trouble getting fans to write for "Trekkers: True Stories by Fans for Fans" and it was suggested to her to make a "Xena" book. Though the "Trekker" book has some great stories, "How Xena Changed Our Lives" has all the passion. People can finally read WHY a tv series can change a person's life. Whether it helps you out of a rut, is the cause for meeting new people or inspires you to volunteer, this book captures the heart of Xenites. There are stories that will make you laugh, ones that will make you jealous, and ones that will truly make you cry. An Xenite will love this book, and I recommend it for non-Xenites as well (especially if you know a Xenite) as an invation into our world.

Greatest Xena Book

Read it if you love TV.Sarah

A Treasure for the True Xena fans

I perchased this book, and was pleasantly surpised by how much I enjoyed it. Of course this book isn't stricktly for fans of the Xenaverse. It has some wonderful stories from the fans on how the show changed thier lives. Some are funny, some are very touching and personal. Xena was a show that transcended it's cheezy mythology setting, and introduced the world to two characters (brilliantly played by Lucy Lawless & Renee O'Connor) that broke so many new grounds with the journey they took us on. This book celebrates the effect it had on the fans, and does so wonderfully.
