Great, fun book! October 28, 2008
I got this book for my kids, but I have enjoyed it as much as they have. Any Adventure fan will love this book. It has tons of info about the actors and the episodes. Fun facts about bloopers too. Lots of behind the scenes info.
Too Short October 6, 2008

My only complaint: it's too short. It's 563 pages long, but still too short! Nathan Hoobler did a wonderful job with this Guide--not bogging down with long episode summaries (yet giving enough that if you haven't heard an episode, you'll get what's going on), but digging right into that behind-the-scenes stuff most people have never known. Hilarious Eugene version of 'Three Blind Mice', Goof Alerts, interviews, 'My Take' segments, pictures, how-to-draw, and fan art are all included--with more. Wonderful job, wonderful book. Hilarious in spots, almost touching in others, always highly enjoyable. Please write another--longer this time. ;-)
An Odyssey-fan must-own! October 5, 2008
Adventures in Odyssey the Official Guide is an interesting book that contains summaries of the Adventures in Odyssey albums, pictures and interviews of the Odyssey actors, descriptions of lost episodes, illustrations from albums and videos, descriptions of videos and books, and insights as to what the writers were trying to achieve in various episodes.
The book describes things like how Odyssey characters age (Connie, how long were you in High School?? and Mandy, my how you grew up fast!)... It talks about some story lines the authors chose not to pursue, and why. It also answers "What happened to Officer Harley?"
Some of the materials included are excerpts from the Official Adventures in Odyssey podcast interviews.
AIO, the Official Guide is also a fun and easy read. Someone is always borrowing my copy!
