Night World The Ultimate Fan Guide LJ Smith Annette Pollert Books

This book is such a tease, but it makes me really excited to HOPE that STRANGE FATE will be out soon... Has a good amount of info to help you remember things from the series if you haven't read the books in awhile. I love the whole Night World series - some of the best books with my all time favorite characters that I've read. I read the books from the Night World series when they first came out when I was a teen and now I'm ~ 30 yrs old but STILL waiting on STRANGE FATE. Love LJ Smith but am extremely annoyed that it's taking so long for her to write this story... Anyway... Hopefully I'm not in a nursing home before she finishes. :( I recommend these books, but it's a big letdown that there is no finish (yet) after all these years...

Night World The Ultimate Fan Guide LJ Smith Annette Pollert Books Reviews

Like many of you, I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the release of Night World Strange Fate, and so this Ultimate Fan Guide naturally caught my eye at the local department store. Whilst waiting for my little sister to try on clothes, I'd read it cover-to-cover.

There are some interesting insights here from L.J. Smith as to the inspiration behind several of her heroines (such as her fear that Poppy was too much like Bonnie from The Vampire Diaries), as well as some hints as to what to look forward to in "Strange Fate" (such as the fact that the Wild Powers Jez and Delos may not get along), but apart from that, it really is a rather pointless book.

There are quizzes, images of old book covers, and basic information on characters, books and species - nothing that you couldn't get from the books themselves, or from the average fan website. It all just seems filler in order to get a respectable page count, and the giant font doesn't help matters either. When I first picked it up, I honestly thought it was a "large print" version for the elderly. And of course, the fact that this is the "ultimate" guide will become obsolete once "Strange Fate" comes out.

Needless to say, it is also far too overpriced. If this were an entree to the larger course of "Strange Fate," then it barely whets the appetite.

There is a chapter from "Strange Fate" at the end of the book, but then, there's one at the end of Night World No. 3 as well. I've waited over ten years for the finale to the Night World series. I can wait a little longer...
Night World The Ultimate Fan Guide, by L. J. Smith

I would recommend you buy this book only if you are a die-hard, can't live without it, Night World fan. It's overpriced in my opinion, and doesn't really contain anything that new. The best parts were L. J. Smith's insights into her writing process, thoughts behind the Night World, and insights into some of the characters, but I would say you could easily read those flipping through it in a bookstore.

The quizzes and answers that take up some of the book are a bit silly in my opinion, but might be good for a girl in the 10 - 14 range. Some of the things, such as a gallery of book covers, seem to be included just to take up page space; I don't think they add to the guide. There is some useful information if you're new to Night World, but 95% of it you would get from reading the books.

2/5.
As a fan guide this falls short on several fronts. Other then being a concise location for Night World facts and some insights into the novels themselves from the creator (a lot of which can be read on her website) there isn't a whole lot of *new* information. This is basically like having the Night World wikipedia in book form (except, of course, with better editing and fact checking).

There's brief accounting of each of the 9 Night World books currently avail (at time of publication), character descriptions for the 'major' players and interesting notations on when characters overlap into each book (such as the fact Ash Redfern pops up in 3 novels) and the trivia questions could be fun for Night World fans to quiz each other with.

However, when the words "Ultimate Fan Guide" are used, more is expected. Better insight, more detailed histories and character breakdowns, deleted scenes or plot lines, what it took to update the books form their original late 90's release to the recent re-release (since the original novels cited the year 2000 as the day of the big event, because the books were more or less contemporary to their publishing dates, but when Strange Fate was finally announced as being publish Smith mentioned having to update the other books to coincide with the near year in Strange Fate).

This 'fan guide' doesn't deliver enough for the longtime fans. For new fans, who only recently came into the series, this may be enough. For those of us who have spent the last decade (and more) discussing what will happen in the mythical tenth book, getting excited over new short stories and blurbs on Smith's website, hopeful the half a dozen times a rumored release date for Strange Fate surfaced...its not up to par.
I absolutely loved this book! I learned so much about the Night World from this book that I will always treasure it!
I personally didnt read it or anything, seeing as how i bought this for my wife. But, she loves it!
love it
I loved how she explained every clan in the book. I love lamia vampires because they can have vampires. Made vampires die the instant they become vampires. Dragons just creep me out. I love vampires because once you're a vampire you're immortal forever. I don't like zombies that can never truly turn to be good. I love shapeshifters, and the idea that the idea that they can turn into any animal that they want to. Old souls really scare me, but it is cool that they can come back every generation.
