Book Review: Notes from the Upside Down
Notes from the Upside Down is an unofficial guide to the hit Netflix Show, Stranger Things. (Season 1). The book talks about how the show came about and there is a chapter per episode where it talks about things that happened in each episode. There is also a quiz for champions of the show – which I totally sucked at, I guess I should watch the series a few more times and try again! There is also a lot of talk about the connections to Stephen King, Spielberg, John Carpenter and a lot of the 80s throwbacks. There are bios on the characters as well as a list of 80s movies that you should watch. I thought this was a great companion piece for the show, definitely read it as or after you have finished the first season!
I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.
