As a Power Ranger super fan who religiously devours all behind-the-scenes information about the show, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book is bursting with new details. The author has interviewed well over a hundred people who worked on the franchise, so every chapter has an abundance of exciting, previously unknown revelations about the show.
It is a welcome change from other behind-the-scenes books, which often feel like printed wiki summaries.
I am especially pleased that people who were largely unknown to the fandom but instrumental to the franchise’s success at last get their chance in the spotlight. This includes figures like footage editor Adi Eli-Ad, producer Ronnie Hadar, writer Steve McClearly, and many others.
Other creators more familiar to the fandom also have their say and are able to set the record straight on several long-standing misconceptions.
Hearing all their stories gives me a new appreciation for the franchise, which has pushed boundaries and overcome many challenges in ways that fans are often not aware of. It's a miracle that Power Rangers managed to last for one season, let alone 30!
However, you do not need to be a hardcore fan to enjoy this book, as the author does an excellent job of telling Power Rangers’ 30-year story from start to finish in a highly engaging manner.
In fact, it is so well written that I think it would be a great read for anyone who doesn’t even care about Power Rangers, as it provides a candid look at the challenges involved in coming up with an idea, bringing it to life and then growing it into a mega hit that lasts for generations.
The author clearly has a serious talent for researching large amounts of information and then finding the human interest angle to craft an emotionally compelling book, so I definitely look forward to his future work and hope this book gets a sequel.
Overall, an excellent read, which I thoroughly enjoyed!

I’m a 90’s kid and a lifelong Power Rangers fan. So I realize I’m the key demographic for this book. That said, if you’ve made it all the way to the review section of this page… so are you.
This book doesn’t just capture what it was like to watch Power Rangers, the author goes out of his way to make sure you understand what it was like to BE a Power Ranger, with interviews from the original cast, all the way up until its 30 year old conclusion. I loved reading about what the actors thought about each and every direction the show went in.
If you’re a Power Rangers fan, I can’t recommend this book enough. If you’re not a Power Rangers fan, I’m genuinely confused about why you’re still reading this.
I lucked out that the release of this book coincided with the birth of our first child. She’s a fan.

Although I already knew going into this that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a cultural phenomenon, I still felt myself cheering for its success as I continued turning each page. It's hard to believe now, having seen MMPR's success, that so many studio executives would have little faith in it and saw it as violent and too foreign. Still today, it's one of my fondest childhood memories, and through Moore's expertise, I was reminded why.CamDon’t Miss Out on This Summer Hit!
