This book is total fan fodder and completely inessential but it's so very very pretty and since all this stuff is on Amazon for around two of your English pounds I'm just saying if you like this show you could do worse.This is fun : in one episode Walter in a fit of irritation storms out of his house and throws the giant pizza he has just bought onto the roof.... here he is remorsefully cleaning it up the next day...The house was a real house and now fans track down the real house in Albuquerque...

Pretty pics and some good insights from creator Vince Gilligan. But other than the rather-good introductory essay, the book is pretty slight overall. Well worth the $6 I paid at a second-hand store, but I might feel otherwise if I'd paid retail.

It gives you a very in depth look at the behind the scenes, cast interviews and special features about went into making the show. I enjoyed it a lot. My #2 all time favorite show

Great compendium book to one of the best television shows ever. Awesome insight into the themes and background information on the groundbreaking series. Great photographs and illustrations.

My husband and I have been watching the show on Netflix, are about halfway through the final season and really enjoy it. I spotted this book in my local library and really thought that he would like to flip through it, but I wound up reading it from cover to cover. Sure, there were some spoilers for me, but I don't care about that at all. There is no spoiling for me. I want to know everything about everything, all of the time.The photography is amazing, much like the cinematography on the show.

I recently finished watching Breaking bad (I have no idea why I hadn't watched it till now) and I absolutely loved it. Instantly it became one of my all time favourite shows, along side my favourite show- Game of Thrones. This is a really good book for fans of the show. However it does contain spoilers, so watch the entire series first.

I was not sure what genre to place this book. Breaking Bad:The Official Book" Is just what it looks like. A book all about the TV series Breaking Bad. I am a big fan of this show so I was delighted to read a book all about Breaking Bad. It is loaded with all kinds of facts about the show. Each chapter focuses on how Breaking Bad was put together. From creating the characters, coming up with plot lines. Costumes, set designs. locations. There are interviews with Vince Gilligan the creator, produc...

indispensable! - my full review here: http://paullevinson.blogspot.com/2015...

This is an essential companion for fans of the amazing AMC show Breaking Bad (which led to the current spinoff Better Call Saul). Since we don't review TV here, but since I loved this show so much, below is my final blog post about the show. Warning - this does contain spoilers for those who did not watch the show - particularly about the final episode "Felina".There has been lots of virtual ink spilt over the masterpiece that Breaking Bad was including 21 articles on my blog (http://mfinocchiar...

Surprisingly good. If you are fan of the series, of course, this was quite interesting. Focused a lot on the production aspects of the show; music, costumes, set design, cinematography. And lots of tidbits I hadn't heard before. Example...it was originally set in Riverside, CA, not Albuquerque. They changed the location mainly because New Mexico gave them a tax break. Since ABQ became almost a character itself, hard to picture it set in Riverside. Makes me want to go back and rewatch and pay clo...

O livro tenta colocar em palavras e em imagens muito bonitas a grandiosidade de BB, primeiro através da introdução do organizador do livro, o crítico de cinema David Thomson. Durante várias páginas ele reavalia a série olhando em retrospecto, relembrando o quanto ela é violenta, imoral, nojenta e sombria, mas acima de tudo, engraçada. A cena do pai de família Walter White de cuecas no meio do deserto pode inicialmente ter afastado muitos espectadores em potencial, mas ela era fundamental na form...

This story is really good!Walter White, is a teacher of chemistry in the high school. He make methamphetamines for many money.He him cancer.Her wife is pregnant. Is the best book.Five Stars.

Not really the BB story but very interesting facts about show, photography, actors, etc in fact everything about the series. Made binge watching the series more enjoyable. Amazing how much attention to every little detail went into making the series.

As with so many books on film noir, the hundreds of photos that visually support the narrativity discussion are worth the price of admission. The book description lays it all out so no need for me to recount and will just add that although the focus is on the intersection of production and theme, I added this to my writing shelf because, despite the focus on production, the writing came first and is effervescent throughout. That and for the insightful interviews with series creator Vince Gilliga...

I was really hoping to get more from this book, but it fell flat. I LOVE the series, but seriously, you get more info online and from the imdb trivia than you do this book. Disappointing.The first part summarizes every episode, which was a little tedious. (why else would you buy this book if you haven't already seen the series?) There were a few interesting parts (emphasis on FEW) and humor the way the author writes, but nothing great/worth remembering.It could have been so much better: behind t...

Amazing insight into the making of one of the best pieces of television in modern times. Only wish there were more of pre-production documents and floor plans included. Apart from that, excerpts from the writer's room notes, interviews and detailed explanation of character arcs are spot on. Love the show and love this book!

It was very interesting getting in-depth looks at behind-the-scenes aspects of the show, specially around design, direction and effects decisions that help build the show's universe. I wish it was more structured though, some pieces of information repeat themselves and reappear again in a way that makes the book flow like an unstructured mish mash of interviews, random anecdotes and essays. In that sense, I would prefer some of the quotes from interviews to be inserted at points of the essays wh...

If you loved breaking bad, you'll love this book. And it's surprisingly kind of deep for a book of this nature. The show runners really tell you a lot about how they reached certain decisions, it goes into production, lighting, color, music, the characters. A lot of content, but in great bites, a very easy read.

Fun examination of a brilliant show - not quite as much "behind the scenes" as I would have liked and little too heavy on the thematic analysis, but a super light, fun read for anyone who reserves a special place of honor in their memory for the harrowing journey of Walter White.
