Customer Reviews

So worth the money

My brother got me this book for my birthday two years ago. It is my bible and my life (kind of sad, actually!) Anyways, it's really good and like that other guy said, if you take a few months to memorize it, you'll the X-Files Genius and you can impress your friends with little tidbits of knowledge. For example, what's Scully's home phone number? I'm not telling.. get it and look it up yourself! Note: good book for diehard fans!

Fun trivia for true fans

If you think you know EVERYTHING about the best show on television, you're wrong. These guys pull up obscure info and quiz you on it, drawing not only from the episodes but from interviews, books, and magazines. This is a great book and a must for an X-Phile's library! My only complaint: after reading Phil Farrand's lighthearted Nitpicker's Guide, the authors of this book seem really critical. I mean, what's up with their review of "War of the Coprophages"? Lighten up! Other than that, of course, diehard fans will cherish this book.

Stumps the Best

I've always considered myself an X-pert. None of my online friends (or real life for that matter) has ever been able to stump me on X-Files trivia. I'm completely addicted to the show and have 15 books. This one is definately one of the best, pointing out many of the nitpicks and netpicks we've philes have already discovered in addition to new ones that sent me back to look for them. The trivia is extremely difficult and interesting. I recommend this book to all philes who think they know it all. Take a few months to memorize this book and then you will know it all.

An X-Phile's Treasury

Over 1,000 questions from the first three (3) seasons of my favorite TV show in a challenging format to test the gray cells of my brain. How would I describe this book: An X-Files version of JEOPARDY! More than just something to read...a book to play and damn well worth the $$$. I highly recommend it to any die-hard X-Phile

Forget the Rest...This is the Best

The DeClassified X-Files, the 2 Unofficial Companions, and of course, the two official guides, are just reference guides to the show...but this book is the only one to contain trivia challenges, nitpicking, and behind-the-scenes information. What really makes me angry is the fact that all these other authors did books that just covered the first two seasons (for $14) and then brought out another book for just season three and then charged another $14. But THE X-FILES CHALLENGE covers all three seasons for $14. Instead of just reading the same old referenced guide stuff, this book truly challenges your brain. I took it on a recent airline flight and it kept me enthralled for the entire flight...loved it and well worth the money
