Book review: ‘Saving the World: A Guide to Heroes’

A few months ago we mentioned that there were a few books to be released focusing on Heroes. Now, we’ve got a book reviewer who has done just that. You know DayziJ as a regular poster here on HeroesARG. Now she can tell us what’s up with those books. Let’s all give her a warm welcome and “Thank you!” –Frank

So, have you picked up a copy of Saving the World: A Guide to Heroes yet? This book by Lynnette Porter, David Lavery and Hillary Robson focuses on Season One of my favorite TV show, Heroes. It appears that the authors’ intent was to put together a resource and reference guide that could introduce someone to the series and frame it from historical, academic, and cultural perspectives. The book is divided into two parts. Part I is titled “Going Deep”. This part is further divided into subcategories: Television, Comics, Heroes and Villains, Light and Dark, and The Finale. Part 2 is titled “Enhancements”. Part 2 does what I always wanted to do during the first season but never had the time to put together; it serves as a great reference guide.
