Editorial Reviews

On November 8, 1965, Days of Our Lives debuted on NBC. The show overcame a rocky beginning to become one of the best-loved and longest running soap operas on daytime television.For 30 years, the story of the show's Horton family has been closely followed by a dedicated audience. Through extensive research, including the first-ever examination of the show's archives, and interviews with cast members, writers, producers and production personnel, the show's history is told here. This reference work provides a complete cast list from the show's debut through 1994, as well as the most comprehensive storyline of the show ever available. Also included are family trees of the show's characters, tracing the often confusing relationships involved in thirty years of developing roles.

It's an interesting, informative, trivial book.

hope363@hotmail.com @ 1999-02-19

I liked how this book was divided into about 6 chapters. The book explanins about how the show was first started, how the fans have always supported it, and the whole storyline. I have only been watching Days for about 2 years, so when I read the storyline, it was really confusing, but I am trying to follow it. It doesn't have any color pictures, and the pictures it does have are mostly of the older families on Days. This book does, however, give you a good background, and it doesn't really leave anything out dealing with information. It also has family trees in the back so you can be sure about the Days generations. You can learn some real trivia from this book. If you want history, and trivia, get this book. It will soon become one of your most treasured posesions.

This book should be well worth your money when you begin reading it.

Buyer Beware! Book is a REPRINT

Susan @ 2010-07-17

Thought this would be an updated version of the book, but it is simply a reprint of the 1995 edition with a different cover that was designed this year. VERY disappointed.

good history of plots and stars

Nancy K. Minard "day @ 2007-01-09

This book is a must have for all you newer Days fans who want to know what happened up to 1995. Also it has family trees and history of the making of the show. It helps explain Patch"s history in the story line and so much more on dozens of other people. Makes you feel like an expert on the whole show.It starts at the very beginning and had to end at 1995, but maybe some one will write part 2 for the years 1996 to 2007, I hope.

For Days of our Lives fans

This was good for Days fans but not nearly as inclusive as I thought it was going to be. A little disappointing for the price I paid for it.

Days of Our Lives History

Rocket Scientist @ 2011-04-27

I loved this book. I have been a fan of DOOL since I graduated from college in 1969, so I remember the early years. What I loved about this book was reading about the few years before I started watching, then reminiscing about all the years I did watch. Most of the behind-the-scenes information was interesting, too, but it was the story-line that I loved.

I was disappointed that the book only goes to about 1995. I hope the author will update it to the present or someone will write a new book on the recent years.

I saw one omission. My friend Walter Willison, who played Suzanne Zenor's doctor and potential love interest until Wesley Eure left, breaking up the triangle, was not included in the cast list.

Days of Our Lives book

Judy Walter @ 2010-10-03

I ordered this item for myself but to date have not had time to read it. I'm sure I will enjoy it as I love the soap opera "Days of Our Lives".

A truly in-depth look at NBC's long running show.

Susan L. Seidenstick @ 1999-03-15

A must for any fan who longs for a return to the enticing storytelling that was once the hallmark of daytime drama. Amazing photos, unbelievable detail... well worth every penny.
