Critics Review

“What this book really did for me, though, was teach me to better understand and appreciate good scriptwriting. Author Barnett, whose own writing I found impressive, explains how the stories and the characters are developed and presented.…I think anyone reading this book will become a smarter viewer, not only of this series, but of other dramas.” — Exclusive Magazine“Barnett loves the show, as is evidenced in her very thorough guide to every episode up to the 6th season. She neatly divides each storyline into its plot components as well as fun detours.…But if you thought the guide was all there was to the book, you’d be wrong: there’s 169 pages of character bios, ethical and moral analysis, and detailed explanations of every pop culture Easter Egg the show has hidden for its super fans.” — Crushable“Like her blog, it’s a great read, especially her analysis of each character…Sure to please a House fan — well, at least it pleased this House fan.” — Cozy Nook“You might be familiar with Barbara Barnett’s work.… But with Chasing Zebras, she rises by exploring House, the show and the characters, in every aspect possible. Nothing is left out … Ms. Barnett is always spot on. She makes valuable and nuanced arguments … I can assure you that you will inhale this delightful read and won’t be able to put it down until you’re done. A real treat!” — Series.Nu“In Barnett’s book, readers are brought in to an expert’s passionate view of the show and its characters.” — Buddy TV
