Product Description
My name is Bobby Singer. In twenty-four hours I’m gonna lose my memory. So here’s everything you need to know.
Monsters, demons, angels, vampires, the boogeyman under your bed: I’ve seen it, I’ve hunted it, I’ve killed it. I’m not the only hunter out here, but there aren’t as many as there used to be. Not near as many as there need to be. I’ve learned everything I can about every damned critter that walks, crawls, or flies, and I’m not gonna let that all be for nothing. I’m not going down without a fight. I’m not letting everything I’ve learned disappear. So that’s what you’re holding in your hands—everything I know. Anything that’d be useful for Sam, Dean, and the hunters that come after me.
It’s a guide to hunting...it’s a guide to me. My last will and testament. Ya idjits.

Captures Bobby's essence to a "t",
This review is from: Supernatural: Bobby Singer's Guide To Hunting (Paperback)
I laughed out loud a lot during this book. As silly as it sounds with a heart like Bobby's if someone were to walk in to my life like him I'd marry him in a red hot minute. Now to more serious tones...the humour in this book is there but what makes it great is the blend of humour with the tragedy that makes life sour. Bobby's had a lot of tragedy, this book touches on that, but you also learn more in depth his relationships with some of the characters. It was very well written, lots of attention to detail was given to Bobby's erm..colourful language..lolAny Supernatural fan would love this book. It sheds a lot of light on Bobby's softer side, and on some of his background. Things you could only guess at watching the show becomes more clear reading this.

Pretty Dang Good, Actually,

This review is from: Supernatural: Bobby Singer's Guide To Hunting (Paperback)
I pre-ordered this book with somewhat low(er) expectations than most; I have the Supernatural encyclopedia of demons and monsters, and while that was very lore-informative, the voices weren't quite right, and there were a few little quibbles I had with the layout and such.I don't have those with this. David Reed gets the Bobby Singer voice. If not perfectly (because there are a few places where I go "uh... okay, not Bobby") then pretty close, because it's comfortable to read it. The sections on Bobby's wife Karen are excellent, not only because they match what was said on the show, but expound on it in a logical manner. The book also deals with Bobby and Rufus, Bobby and the Winchesters, and all the kinds of things that Bobby goes through on a relatively "normal" day in addition to all that he knows about hunting. There's also background on the Colt, the Knife, Dean's amulet, and most of the creepy things they've come up against. Casual watchers of the show might be a little lost; Bobby makes many references to the things that have happened up through the sixth (at the time of this review, most current) season as well as a couple of cases that Sam and Dean have covered but we haven't seen. It's a book that's deeply rooted in the mythology of the show while making it interesting; you follow Bobby on his mental decline, and while I won't say a word about content of the ending or what goes on, I will say that it is definitely satisfying. It's sort of like an episode unto itself, not unlike "Weekend at Bobby's," where the action focuses not on the Winchesters, but on Bobby Singer. As the title says, it's Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting. I almost expected "Ya Idjit" to be part of the formal title. It's not nearly as dry as a read as The "Supernatural" Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons, and Ghouls, but it's just as informative. The physical size of the book is nice, too; it's not a huge trade-paperback size like the Monsters book, instead being just a little bit bigger than a standard paperback. It's easier to hold, easier to read, and easier to carry in my purse. All in all, definitely a good purchase. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful

There's so much more that you don't know about him.....,

This review is from: Supernatural: Bobby Singer's Guide To Hunting (Paperback)
I was soooo excited when I saw that Bobby was going to have his own journal! Was a great read, and I feel like I know tons more about Bobby than the show ever put out. You learnhow he became a hunter, what happened in Omaha, his thoughts on the Winchesters life with Rufus new monster lore I thought I wasn't going to like the storyline of him losing his memory, but the author pulled it off. Made me feel like I was watching an episode of Supernatural because they got his character spot on. This book is worth it! 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting,

This review is from: Supernatural: Bobby Singer's Guide To Hunting (Paperback)
I was very excited to get to read this book in the Supernatural series because so often Bobby Singer gets left out in this series. His is a character that is taken for granted a lot.I think the author gave voice to the character very well and stayed true to Jim Beaver's portrayal of the character. Very interesting story line. I am wondering why though that it was not put into the timeline of the series like the other books were . They usually tell us between what episodes things in the books occurred. That would have been a nice reference point. Over all very enjoyable.
