For real fans of Supernatural
This one wasn't for me. This is true journal style writing and I fond the writing was pretty choppy. I couldn't get into the author's style at all. Rather than give the book a poor rating based on my blasé opinion of it, I'll say that it would be the perfect gift for a big fan of the series. This book is 12 years old as of this review so if you're buying, be sure you're getting a good quality used paperback, or defer to a hardcover that may have withstood time better. There's fun reading in it for someone, but it didn't appeal to me. I'm still giving it a decent review though because I know someone out there will love it.

Fantastic gift
My friend is a huge Supernatural fan and was absolutely delighted when she opened this. She’d never seen it before, couldn’t believe it existed and was so happy to receive it. I can’t comment on how good it is, but her response to receiving it was brilliant.

Before Supernatural there was John Winchester
Have read this book and love it. This book follows John Winchester and his two son's Sam & Dean just after the death of his wife John knew that something was out there and it killed her he goes hunting for the thing that did it but on his way he comes across other supernatural creatures. John takes the boys along with him and he meets some other hunters like Bobby Singer. Must read for all die hard Supernatural fans if you want to find out the before story behind the boys we see on our screens today then get this it is his journal that shows up in the first episode of Supernatural

A Good History of Supernatural
This is a good addition to the story of Supernatural. It fills in some of the history of John Winchester and the boys providing some interesting titbits of information that, so far, have not been in the show or the graphic novels. I say so far because there is a new graphic novel due out at the end of this month. If you want to know more about Sam and the effects the Yellow Eyed Demon have had on him, check this out. Want more info on Dean and the car, look here. Want to know why John was so Paranoid and Dean so protective then buy the book. Just want to know more - there is more in this book! Supernatural lover or obsessive check it out because there is a lot of back story that fills in some of the gaps left by the show.

i loved it
it fills in a lot of holes, and if you watch the show -and are an avid fan like me- you can pick up a few references, like when Sam "doesn't want to go bow hunting". I loved it, though there are some passages that confused me, must be in latin or something like that, but there is also info on different monsters, some that aren't on the show. You can also tell how John changes, over the course of his different journal entries, for example he writes a whole page on his feelings on Marys' death on the day their anniversary a year later but they get smaller and more focused on 'what killed her' and revenge rather than 'the boys' or his own well being, which i think describes his character in the show well. It also ends the same way it did on the show, when John goes missing. I recommend this book for anyone who is a huge fan!

I bought this as a gift for my younger sister who LOVES the show Supernatural. She said she really liked this book because it is written like the journal that is discussed in the show. For Supernatural fans, you may know what this is referring to. I never really watched the show much myself, but apparently John Winchester had a journal and it is talked about a lot in the show, this is supposed to be the journal. I think it would have been cool if it actually looked more like a journal than a novel style book. My sister is 15 and is not the best reader ( I would say probably middle-school level) and she was able to read it with ease and comprehend the story. I think that if you are not a fan of the show you may not enjoy the journal, but I am unsure. My sister is super excited to take this journal with her to the Supernatural convention to get some signatures in it. The book shipped quickly, was packaged well and the book was in PERFECT condition.

Als Fan der TV-Show Supernatural war ich sehr gespannt darauf, John Winchester's Journal zu bekommen, und es hat meine Erwartungen definitiv übertroffen. Das Journal ist sehr detailliert und sieht aus, als ob es direkt aus der Show stammen würde. Es ist vollgepackt mit Informationen über die Welt der Geisterjagd und enthält viele Einträge, die auf den Episoden der Show basieren. Ich liebe die Illustrationen und die handschriftlichen Einträge, die das Journal so authentisch aussehen lassen. Das Buch selbst ist sehr gut gebunden und hat eine schöne Haptik, was es zu einem tollen Sammlerstück macht. Ich finde auch die Größe perfekt, da es groß genug ist, um alle Informationen darin zu haben, aber trotzdem klein genug ist, um in einer Tasche oder einem Rucksack getragen zu werden. Ich würde dieses Journal auf jeden Fall jedem empfehlen, der ein Fan von Supernatural ist oder sich für das Thema Geisterjagd interessiert. Es ist ein tolles Geschenk für jeden, der sich für das Übernatürliche begeistert und es wird sicherlich für viele Stunden des Lesens und Nachschlagens sorgen.

A nice add-on and read when once is on a Supernatural phase. John's voice is at times a little off, for exemple when he says "Mary" instead of a "You" and addressing her particularly. The research and random creatures bits are interesting and the very vintage journal of the book is nice too flipper through (even if the cover could be better to go with the pages style). 5 stars as the book is for the fandom of the show who want to dwell in that world a little further and deeper, but John's voice is always a little off from the show character. Still enjoyable to read when the Soul wants a Supernatural phase. Plus like the show many creatures and demon lore are absolutely faithful to real esoterism and mystic believes.
