Critics Review

This ‘unofficial’ companion book is essential for fans of Breaking Bad and for those who want to learn more about what some have called the ‘greatest television show.’”

“This ‘unofficial’ companion book is essential for fans of Breaking Bad and for those who want to learn more about what some have called the ‘greatest television show.’” — Library Journal“The Only Guide You Will Ever Need… Reading through the book, which grabbed me like a fiction bestseller, I constantly felt the need to pull out my DVDs and watch again as I read. This is literally a companion guide that needs to go right next to your complete series, and be thumbed through, bookmarked and read as you view the show. Wanna Cook? is an interactive treasure you will read again and again, just like the show requires multiple viewings… I cannot recommend this book enough.” — Biff Bam Pop!“Wanna Cook? succeeds in no small part by being not only an excellent guide to fans of the show, but also a well-researched, authoritative and most importantly, entertaining re-examination of one of the best shows in the history of television.” — Forces of Geek“Impressively comprehensive, a solid work recommended to devotees of Breaking Bad.” — Publishers Weekly
