 Pass this one up.
I started watching Dallas on DVD with fond memories of watching it with my grandma. So, in search of All Things Dallas, I bought this book. It's not a 'complete story' of the show, actors, etc. (like I somehow thought it would be), it's a recap of every episode. Just watch the darn show instead.
 Not what one might expect
I was wildly excited to get this book... and almost equally disappointed. While there are all kinds of interesting details about the backstage struggles and all kinds of info on every detail of the lives of the actors, it offers almost no information on the actual plots! I fully expected that any book touting itself as "the complete" story would offer detailed plot info of each episode. And yet when it comes to information on the episodes, there is only the scantist of actual plot details. While the book is exhaustively researched, it is missing a crucial element which I think most fans would pick it up expecting to find as a given.
 No Dallas fan shoud be without
Everything you wanted to know about the biggest prime time serial of all times: DALLAS
only downside: no episode summaries but so much trivia it's unbelievable!!!!!
No true Dallas fan should go without it!!!!!
Great book
This truly is a COMPLETE synopsis of the entire series. There are interviews with the actors and each episode is described. This is a must have for any Dallas fan!
A Truly Complete Resource for Die-Hard Dallas Fans
Barbara A. Curran did a phenomenal job putting together Dallas: The Complete Story of the World's Favorite Prime-Time Soap.
For starters, this book is THICK and packed with information. It is a timeline of Dallas, beginning with concept development by producers, selection of cast and development of the characters, and selection of filming locations. What I found exciting about the presentation is that in addition to the full history of the show season by season, this book includes trivia facts as well as personal notes from the cast/crew/producers.
This book did an excellent job of giving me the "complete" story about the show and I enjoyed it immensely. I have found it especially entertaining to read corresponding seasons in the book as I acquire the DVD's and watch them. Very insightful.
The only thing I would change is perhaps expanding on the photo section, including some color photos and some larger-sized photos so you can see the details better.
I would strongly recommend this book as an important addition to any Dallas fan's collection.
