Lost has become a cultural phenomenon. It completely changed the way in which TV was made for a new generation of viewers; moving from sitcoms, or family based shows, to thriller type shows, like 24 or Jericho. The show explores ideas and meaning, but in a "real" way. The characters are portrayed in a believable and sincere way; you expect real people to respond to crisis in the same way the characters of Lost have. The Gospel according to Lost is a good read for anyone who considers themselves a fan of the show.
That being said, I wouldn't consider myself a fan of the show. I haven't watched many recent episodes. The book was very easy to read, but I found myself meandering through the book disinterested, especially when Seay discusses the minor characters.
This is a book written for fans of Lost, I probably shouldn't have read it, but I did. I think this book isn't going to be very big in a couple of years, once the show is gone, because their will be no need for it. I give it 3 stars because while it was interesting, i was just not very interested in the subject matter... If that makes any sense.
