Rating:  Summary: JACK CONDON & CHARLIE'S ANGELS..PERFECT COMBO Review: Jack is truly a sensation when it comes to reviewing and recalling the best era yet..the 1970's. He takes you back to the time when Charlie's Angels was the show of the decade, Farrah's Hairdo was the "in" thing, and disco topped the charts. He shares his extensive collection that brings smiles to your face. He makes you want to keep reading this informative book about the lives of our fave gals on tv. This book has made me remember what it was like back in the days, as well as clued me into secrets behind my fave television show. If you like the show, you will love this book. It answers all our questions about Charlie's Angels..THANKS JACK !!
Rating:  Summary: A must-have book for fans of the series! Review: I was so excited when I came across this book in the store! And for the next few hours after I immediately purchased it, everything else became relatively unimportant as I absorbed and savored every bit of the book's content. If you think about it, it is quite amazing that the author was able to acquire as much information as he was able to. (How did he find out that "Hellride" ranked #8 in the Nielsen's back in 1976?!?!) And it appears that he has met each one of the actresses! Very cool. It's filled with lots of details that I previously had not been privvy to. It's a lot of fun, vastly readable, and a great way to spend a few hours, just like the show itself! Fans should not be disappointed. I think my favorite part of the book was the way the writer spent time going over each individual episode with quite a bit of detail. Not only did he give out plot details, but he shared a subjective appreciation of each one, how much he may liked a particular one, what made it special, a sort of fantasy analysis of the Angels and their personalities, etc. I think this is a big reason I find the book so invaluable. It is obvious Mr. Condon really loves the show and the girls! It really comes through in his book, which can become almost like a friend (if you really love the show like I do). Thanks.
Rating:  Summary: Informative and fun Review: This was a fun book to read. Lots of behind the scenes information that I found very interesting- casting notes, backgrounds on the actresses , and writers' guidelines. The episode notes are a must have companion while enjoying the reruns. Definately buy this book if you are a fan of the series or its individual actors.
Rating:  Summary: A Must For Any Charlie's Angels Fan Review: The Charlies Angels Case book is loaded with Fun, Facts, and Entertainment.. Full of Great Pictures of each Angel, and great stories of how it all came about.. Great Commentary from Behind the scenes. Jack Condon and David Hofstede have wrote a book like no other. Reading the book is like going back to Wednesday nights all over again and reliving all the fun that the show brought to us back in the 70's.. I bought this book a year ago and have yet to put it down!!
Rating:  Summary: A Book that Informs and Entertains--Pure Heaven! Review: There was so much I enjoyed about this book. The commentary on each episode was fantastic and very entertaining. I found the chapters on each actress to be interesting and most informative of any materials I had read on the show in the past. I also found myself going "hmmm did not know that..cool". So u informed a tough angel fan on somethin new....lol. Also it was clear that a true fan and admirer of the series had written the book. It wasn't a cheap "tell all" about the actresses to make a quick buck. It was entertaining, respectful, charming and well written. Thanks to Jack Condon for a great Job!
Rating:  Summary: "Blast of the Past" with the Angels Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this behind the scenes look at an extremely popular (and favorite) television program of the 70s. Some of the information provided about relationships, conflicts, etc., was surprising and was not noticeable when viewing the program. The book is a "blast of the past" and a definite must-read, and I am glad that I got the opportunity to read it!
Rating:  Summary: Angels Galore AND MORE! Review: David Hofstede and Jack Condon's book is a priceless resource for the CHARLIE'S ANGELS fan! Not only does it give you the detailed personal accounts in front of the camera and behind the scenes of the history of this phenomenal TV program and the actresses involved, an episode log recounting each show's plot and major significance in the series, specific merchandise listings of ANGELS-related items available, but a wealth of photographs that alone sold me on the book! Publicity stills, on the set candids, and portraits of six of the loveliest ladies of the century compliment the text and create a feast for the eyes! As a reference guide or as a mere springboard into the 70's and early 80's pop culture, The Charlie's Angels Casebook is great fun and loaded with KATE, FARRAH, JACLYN, CHERYL, SHELLEY, and TANYA! I'm hooked! Need I say more? Okay, I will! I have multiple copies of this book because I love it and all my friends know I love it, so they get me more! Read it! Look at it over and over! It's a great buy! I'm not biased, but I can't show you my face. I can only say my name is "Charlie" and I'm very pleased with "my angels."
Rating:  Summary: Charlie's Angels Casebook- the only one you'll need! Review: I never was much of a Charlie's Angels fan during the show's first run. Once TV LAND began showing it I was hooked and remembered just how fun that series really was! Jack Condon's case book is an original covering a wealth of information on everything you've ever wanted to know or maybe didn't know about the show. Who knew there was that much on the market of Charlie's Angels merchandise?!Even Charles Townsend himself would be proud!
Rating:  Summary: Charlie's Angel's " The Real Story behind the Scenes" Review: In reviewing this Book, I have to say that it gives a very clear and honest picture of what went on behind the scenes of the T.V. show. I feel Jack and David did an excellent job saying everything the way it is or was and wrote evrything so nicely and professionally. No one else could have wrote everything the way it was like Jack and David did. The book is fun to read, very educational, and not biased oneway or another.
Rating:  Summary: Angels Forever! Review: Finally a book about one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Jack Condon outdoes himself in this marvelous book about Charlie's Angels. Not just a jiggle T & A show, the book clears up a lot of myths and answers many questions that people have always had about the show throughout the years. For instance, they were not bimbos and Farrah never wore a bikini on the show! The book gives a thorough history of the show including how the show was concieved, how the actresses were chosen, who almost became angels, why Farrah and Kate left; also it gives an episode guide of all 109 shows plus the series pilot. A must for angels fanatics. The books one flaw - not enough pictures! I thoroughly recommend reading this book and watching a few episodes of the series before watching the Drew Barrymore film which totally misrepresents the series!
