Customer Reviews

A well made biography that shows what Scully is really like.

What can I say about this book? Well, I can certainly say that all you Gillianites and Scullyphiles out there who want to know more about the hardworking actress will want to read this book. Subtract one star for being unauthorized, though.

Interesting and entertaining, gives more then first thought

Although this book lacks color photos like in the other recent Gillian Anderson book "The Anderson Files: Gillian Anderson Xposed", I like this one better. The biography gives information you are likely to see in the other book or in magazine articles, but that's okay. Included in this book is an episode review of all four seasons, among other extra tidbits. I especially enjoy the episode reviews. The author wrote them in a playful, realistic way, implying their own feelings about the invidual episode, and bringing up points I hadn't realized. I'm glad I paid the expensive price for this book
