Summary: Perfect For Angel Fans
Comment: After countless books on it's sister show "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", including two 'Watcher's Guides' by the author of this very book, the show 'Angel' finally gets it's own due. Anyone who calls themselves a fan will snatch this book up and devour every page. It's well written and nicely designed. Like the Buffy guide books, this one has two sections of colored pictures that have some real good pictures. Although this book doesn't delve into the day to day making of an episode like Buffy's last guide book, it's still good. Every episode for the first two seasons of the show are here in great detail. The sections seem even longer than they were in "The Watcher's Guide". Each section also comes with little categories like quotes and all that stuff that you have come to expect. The book is designed like, hence the title, a casefile. Every episode summary comes with a section telling you who the clients were in a particular episode and what became of them. It tells you if the Angel team received outside help from anyone. It also gives you the expenses that were used in every episode. The weapons they used, and the music heard in the episode. At the end of every summary, it tells you if the case was closed or not. The beginning of the books goes into great detail for every character on the show or has been on the show at one time or another. The end of the book deals with the bios of the actual actors themselves. If you are a fan, you probably pretty much already know their bios and history and all that. The book and it's designs inside are well done. More than the Buffy guides. The show has proven itself to be it's own being from "Buffy". It is a little darker and seedier than Buffy. Writer/Director/Producer/Creator Joss Whedon did the impossible when he spun off an incredibly successful show from another show. That doesn't happen too often. While Buffy continued to beat this show in it's first 2 seasons, this show has definitley found it's footing and it's strength this past year and was better than the Buffster. Author Nancy Holder, along with Jeff Marionette and Maryelizabeth Hart, are great writers who really pack everything in here. What more could a fan ask for?. Not much. Not much at all. I still don't think that this guide is as close to being as great as the two previous Buffy guides, especially the second one, but it does a good job anyways. This is essential for fans.

Summary: Angel Investigations
Comment: As a spin off to Buffy The Vanpire Slayer, the series Angel, remains true to what has already been established. While at the same time, carving out its own history, and identity. With that principal in mind, authors Nancy Holder, Jeff Mariotte, and Maryelizabeth Hart have created a fine companion to the series.
The first volume is laid out in much the same fashion as the Buffy "Watchers Guide"s. The book takes readers through seasons one and two of Angel. Each episode gets a number of pages devoted to it Aside from the usual synopsis, there are highlights from each script, stuff that didn't make each show, demon or creature breakdowns, episode trivia, and behind the scenes production info. The book also has sections devoted to charater bios, as well as bios of the real life actors who are in the cast as well. The book also keeps track of weapons, spells, magics, property destroyed in a particular show. There are dozens of black and white photos throughout the guide, as well as, 32 pages of full color photos.
The guide is very well done. It is loaded with lots of info, yet, its still lots of fun to read. It shares a lot in common with the guides for Buffy, but like the series itself, the book has its own merits too The 405 pager is recommended if you watch the show, for sure, but can also be enjoyed by anyone else who wants to catch up on what they may have missed.

Summary: A "must have" for fanfic writers
Comment: A very well done companion guide to the show. It's packed with all the material that made the BtVS guides so welcome, but takes the form of an actual PI's casefile. Nice back scenes peeks fill out the storyline info.
While AtS fans in general will enjoy "Casefiles" , it is a simply indispensible tool for fanfiction writers. No more fastforwarding through DVDs of S1 or bugging fellow ficwriters in search of a particular fact. I can't wait for the next volume.
