What is it about Dawson's Creek?

Ever since Dawson, Joey, Pacey and Jen first appeared on our screens we have been hooked. Sure, there have been rites of passage TV shows before, but anything like this?

Creator Kevin Williamson has come up with a show about the agony and ecstasy of sweaty palms, surviving puberty intact and figuring out life in general. James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams have brought the vision vividly to life. Sometimes you can just feel Dawson and Joey's relationship crackling in the air!

It is the most honest portrayal of the joy and pain of growing up that we have ever seen on TV.

This, then, is at long last, the exclusive official companion to the series. Author Darren Crosdale takes us on an inside tour of Dawson's Creek, including:

• In-depth profiles of all the characters and the actors that portray them.
• Relive all your favourite moments from the show.
• Interviews with production crew and show creator Kevin Williamson.
• The greatest quotable lines of self-aware fifteen-year-old wisdom.
• Your complete guide to the What, Where, Who and When of Dawson's Creek.
