This is a good book for Jessica Alba fans, since it gives all the basic essentials about her. It has great photos, and is short enough to read quickly through. It serves as collector's item for Jessica fans.

I was somewhat disappointed by this book. It is very poorly written. The novel seems as though it was written by a 5 year old. It also did not go very in depth. All the information in this book you can find on just about any Jessica Alba web site. Also it is already out-dated. One of the good things about the book are the pictures. They picked some nice pictures to illustrate the book. This is one of those things you could skip, unless you're a real albaholic like me.

I love Jessica Alba, and this book is a book for Jessica Alba fans. It will intrigue you, and find out more on Jessica Alba by reading this book. I think this book should be a longer book, but she is only starting out in her career, so I'm sure there will be more information about her and her future works later on. But this book will please the fans, because it is about her. I enjoy reading about her, just as any other fan of Jessica. I feel this book delivers in depth about her. She is truly a talented and gorgious actress who needs to be in the spotlight more. I certainly suggest this book to the Jessica Alba fan, and if anyone knows how to contact her, please let me know, Thank You!

I do not remember why I missed "Dark Angel" when it originally aired, but now that I have seen the first season I am willing to admit I made a big mistake (Mea Culpa, James Cameron). The story is set in Seattle, Wasington, in the year 2019, which is afer "The Pulse," an electromagnetic bomb that basically pushed reset on the United States. However, that is only the setting, because the star is Jessica Alba as Max Guevera, who at first glance has a day job as a bike courier, and at second glance works as a cat burglar at night, bit at third glance and closer examination turns out to be a genetically enhanced superhuman created by the government who escaped from a military training school ten years earlier.

"Dark Angel: The Complete First Season" has a couple of plot lines that make Max both the hunter and the hunted. Max is always on the lookout for her "siblings," the other kids who escaped from Manticore, while Lydecker (John Savage), the head of the secret program is trying to find both them and Max to return them to government service. Meanwhile, Max's days as a cta burglar are over when she tries to rob Logan Cale (Michael Weatherly), a rich kid who is the secret cyber-journalist known as "Eyes Only," who enlists her into his idealistic crusade to clean up corruption in Seattle. Of course, the two are made for each other, but we have to wait for them to catch out to this rather obvious fact. What really makes "Dark Angel" work is the extent to which this futuristic dystopia has been worked out. This is not so much a series where the mythology emerges over time as it is one where the premises are so strong that they sustain multiple episodes and provide compelling sub-text for the rest. Compare this to similar series that take a while to find themselves, and you can see why these solid premises allowed this one to be able to have so many solid episodes early on.

Creator James Cameron's imprint is clearly on this production, but mention should be made of the show's Vancouver crew, which obviously includes a lot of "X-Files" veterans. The production values on "Dark Angel" are pretty striking in creating the seedy world of post-pulse Seattle and its icon Space Needle where Max likes to go and contemplate existence. But the sense of style comes as much from the characters as the setting. Alba is truly stunning as Max, able to play hard, soft, or whatever the scene demands. Weatherly has one of the squarest jaws in television history, and Savage has fun milking everything out of the bad guy (he really does care for his children, but duty never gets in the way of such emotions). The supporting cast has some compelling texture types, from Normal (J.C. MacKenzie), the overbearing dispatcher at Jam Pony ("Bip! Bip! Bip!"), to urban philosopher Herbal Thought (Alimi Bllard), and everybody's favorite, Original Cindy (Valarie Rae Miller), Max's roommate and co-worker, who basically has the right attitude for every occasion.

After watching the complete first season of "Dark Angel" you will want to move on to the complete second season, which just came out and you will be disappointed that there were only two seasons of the series. However, when you see the overall drop in quality during season two, you will not be that surprised (it takes half of that second season for the series to really get going). But "Dark Angel" is one of the better science fiction series to be produced in the last ten years, and the first season does provide a complete story arc.

During the time that Dark Angel aired on Fox, I watched almost every episode that was ever aired. The others I missed because the timer on my VCR sometimes didn't work (boy did I feel cheated). In my overall opinion, Dark Angel was a fantastic series that should have never stooped! It features intense battles, brilliant characters, and best of all excellent storyline with lots of plot twists.

For those not familar with the series, it revolves around a secret government project known as Manticore. It's main purpose: to design genitically engineered soldiers superior to any known weapon on earth. Unable to tolerate the harsh and brutal experiments and training exercises, a group of soldiers escapes from the facility and hides away. The main character of the show, Max, is one of these soldiers and finds herself paired up with Logan, head of a NGO group known as "Eyes Only". In exchange for Logan's help to find the other soldiers, she agrees to help him put a stop to government corruption in America, which plagues an already poor-stricken country that was attacked by an EMP set off by terriots knocking out all their technology. Throughout the series, many new surprises arise in Max's adventures, including her discovery of an underground power-hungry breeding cult, her finding of new soldiers that look anything but human, and even times when she's forced to fight against her own comrades. Most important of all, she'll always be faced with a tough choice between chosing life on the run or sticking by the friends she grows to love.

If this series comes out on DVD, don't hesitate to buy it! It'll be worth every penny. Filled with plenty of suspense, action, comedy, plot twists, and dealing with life's toughest choices, the value of this series is beyond that of a treasure full of gold.

i love dark angel. This is the worse of the two seasons but is still really really good. I think it is an amazing story and goes way ahead of buffy and angel and especially of that terrible series alias
