The writing for this show was obviously above par, as was the acting. I wanted to know more about the reality of daily schedules and the inner life of the actors as well as the back stories and foundations for the show concept. For these needs, the book delivered well. There were some real insights included like how the show's primary actor at one point felt locked in a vortex having to arrive daily early morning and be on set into early evening with few breaks. He felt trapped and thought that if he got into a car accident he would get a badly needed respite. I didn't like the way the book was organized and there was a lot of filler with descriptions of the filing difficulties. It was a mishmash compendium without good integration to really get at the soul of the whole organization. That being said, House as a show was a phenomenon in that it conveyed some excellent strategies in diagnosing difficult cases and toyed with issues faced by most physicians such as whether patient contact is really helpful when trying to decipher complex and arcane disorders. So to that end the book did background the conceptors and their purposes and the doctors in real life who were the basis of the idea. Not much was said about why the show ended, except that ratings went down. Perhaps it was just a lifespan issue but I would have wanted more here and I also wanted to know more about what the key actors thought of their experience in retrospect. I have now drafted my to nieces into watching the show. They are ages 7 and 12 and they are hooked. I believe it could draw them towards medicine, which would be a good thing. They are now fluent in the lexicon of House which uses the terms plasmaferesis and sarcoidosis in almost every episode. I test them on new words we hear and what they mean in the context of the show using Siri on my I-Phone. This has now become a contest. House is a good teacher to start them off, although they will need to develop a different bedside manner. Jeff Newman ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book, a must have for all House (and film/TV) fans *by H***1 on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2010* This is an amazing book, with detailed inside description of the process behind making House.There is inside information on how the show started, how David Shore came up with the character and Katie Jacobs / Paul Attanasio's involvement in that. There is casting info, talks with all behind the scenes working crews, major talks with writers and how House is written and the process behind it, details on the process of filming the show and how things are done and shot, talks with directors, key talks with Greg Yaitanes - House's amazing Director-Producer, the flow of a typical day on House, talks with ADs and, major talks and interviews with the actors. On chapter dedicated to each character - with actors, directors and producers discussing each one.And, then, there is the awesome Foreword by Hugh Laurie - who's cleaver and funny, the man has wit to spare.Do not hesitate to buy this book, you won't regret it if you like House and/or the process of "making of" as much as I do.Must have!!!! Buy it now!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2012* I was prepared for disappointment as I usually am let down by this sort of book. I was pleasantly surprised. I of course thoroughly enjoyed Hugh Laurie's introduction in and of itself, but there was more. The book starts from the concept to pilot and runs through the sixth season. I was walked through the step by step process of producing each episode, treated to interviews with cast and crew, and re-introduced to each character and how they ticked. Both creator and cast give insights into the latter. A must read for a House fan. Also interesting for someone interested in what goes into putting together a TV episode. ## Frequently Bought Together - House, M.D.: The Official Guide to the Hit Medical Drama - The House That Hugh Laurie Built: An Unauthorized Biography and Episode Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/5143848-house-m-d-the-official-guide-to-the-hit-medical](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/5143848-house-m-d-the-official-guide-to-the-hit-medical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
