"Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting" By David Reed


Title: Supernatural: Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting
Author: David Reed
Published Year: 2011
Pages: 260 pages
Genre: Fiction/Movie Tie In

If you have read some of my other blog postings, you may have come across another review of s "Supernatual" related book. And if this is the case, then you may remember that I am absolutely in love with the show. This of course led me to this book. The more things I discover about the paranormal, the more interested and curious about the topic I become.

This book is described as fiction, and it is rightfully called so. It brings in a character from the show and brings a story that has happened due to the outcome of one of the "hunts" that the characters from the show go on. Bobby Singer is the go-to man for the Winchester boys when they need to find out what they are hunting and how to kill it. On one of these hunts that takes place in the book  Bobby gets back to his house without knowing how he got there. The premise of this book is for him to try and recall how he made it back to his house and since he thinks he is losing his memory, he begins frantically writing down every known creature and hunt he has encountered, at least the ones he can still remember.

Despite the way that this book kind of wanders from story to story with no real correlation, it is meant to be that way and as you read it it makes complete sense. When reading this book you need to keep in mind that the view point that you are reading comes from a character who is rapidly losing their memory and is writing his life story accordingly.
