"I've been missing this show ever since we finished it. Its language, its characters, its reflections on the screwed-upped-ness of the American experiment...It makes me sad that they didn't get one more season to explore the dark themes of the show and the tight relationships between the characters. In any case, creator David Milch writes beautifully and reflects on his creation with a literary mind and a strong sense of cultural significance and contemporary relevance. Sometimes he pontificates and seems off the mark to me, but most of the time, even his more aphoristic prose resonates. Reading his essays on his characters and aspects of the show like drunkenness, profanity, and sex, made me reflect further on the ideas I've been turning over and over in my head since I finished viewing, not to mention the emotions stirring in my heart. His allusions to Melville, Freud, Flaubert, Conrad flirt with pretension yet land in genuine insight. (Esp. because Swearengen is such an Ahab!) A pleasure to expand on the series experience this way."
"After watching the three seasons of Deadwood back to back I found reading this book clarified some questions I had about Deadwood and its characters. I found it insightful and fascinating...as well as a quick read."
"This is a lovely, lovely book that will be of especial interest to fans of the HBO series. (People who haven't watched the TV may only be confused by this book. Really, watch the show, then read the book.)
It is full of beautiful color photographs of the actors portraying their characters, some of them up close face shots, some of them actual scenes from the TV program. There are also old photos of the real life Deadwood camp, Chinese residents of the camp, Sioux indians, and the real people on whom many of the program's characters are based on.
The book also contains much commentary from Deadwood creator David Milch. (He is credited as the author of the book.) Also, several of the actors portraying main characters get a page or two in which to tell how they interpret their character and how they played that character.
I was really fascinated by the real stories, the real people of Deadwood, South Dakota. This book tells some of those stories, which I really appreciate.
This book is a mix of fact of fiction, enlightening to read, and pleasant to look at.
