100% recommended for any supernatural fan
This was one of my favorite supernatural books by far, good quality, epic art from the show and a more in depth description about what we know. I would recommend this to any supernatural fan who is looking for books for their collection

It's Really Bobby!!
The details in this book are awesome, and it has great illustrations throughout! But the best part is that it sounds so much like Bobby's character from the show. That is likely because people from the show actually wrote this book! The lure is accurate and very cool, so even if you're not a huge Supernatural fan, you'll enjoy learning about the cool creatures and hunting methods.

Great book, DEFINITELY recommend
Bought for my 16 year old daughter. In her words, "it's great and really feels like it's written by the character. It was nice to get background info o Bobby and his adventures." She recommendeds this to any Supernatural fan.

Perfect for the fan
Reed is a writer/script coordinator for Supernatural, and it shows. This is a journal written in Bobby's voice, when he's back from a hunt and is losing his memories. He's writing everything he can remember that he wants left behind (except for his library lore), while he's trying to use his swiss-cheese memory to figure out what has happened.As a result we get some hunting tips, some old stories (more on how he and Rufus met, and how after his wife died, he became a hunter -- after running away to Japan -- and becomes Rufus' partner, and just a bit more on how he screwed that up). Of course, he figures out how the hunt went wrong and saves himself and the boys, and their memories, by book's end.But it's deliciously in Bobby's voice with crude illustration and papers taped to pages, which often had me smiling and laughing out loud. He's an irascible, loveable, non-idjit, and his personality shines through this. I'd not recommend this to a nonfan, but it's good fare for the fan. This is one that stays in my library (G).

My nephew loved it!
My nephew isn’t crazy about reading. He would rather be on his phone at 10 years old. I got this book for him for Christmas because he loves Supernatural. He loves this book! I love that he is reading!

Pretty Dang Good, Actually
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.

Love it
I've been wanting this book for a while and it's exactly what I hoped it'd be. Reads just like it was written by Bobby and has some really cool info in it. SPN Family Forever

Good backstory on Bobby
This was a good story told from the viewpoint of the main character in this case Bobby Singer. If you have watched Supernatural for any length of time you know who, Bobby is. One of the most interesting characters on the show, but with very little backstory. This book fills in many gaps of Bobby Singer's life. Interwoven in this story is more information about the creatures that Hunters have to face. For the best part was the background on Bobby. If you have read any of the stories then you need to add this one to your collection if only to learn more about Bobby Singer.

Perfect for both Supernatural fans and book lovers
I bought this as a gift for somebody who is a massive fan of supernatural and whom loves books. I thought this would be a good gift to give her and she seemed to really like it and was something new to add to her collection, especially as the series as officially now ended for good.

It's Bobby man, what else is there to say?
I don't wanna crack the spine, because then "our" Bobby's gone when I finish it.But seriously, I'm so happy I found this! It's amazing if you love the show and if you're a big Bobby fan.

not terrible, but not great either.
I LOVE Supernatural. I adore it. I've analysed the characters and episodes and I love it so much.that being said; what I've read of this book is incredibly weak and that saddens me, because Bobby is one of my favourite characters, and while I plan to read the rest of the book and finish it, it IS weak. if you aren't dedicated to the show or fandom, possibly don't read it.
