Description

Outrageous Fortune: The West Family Album is the ultimate handbook to New Zealand’s favourite family, the Wests, and their associates.  This outrageous family album introduces all the characters and their tips for a fulfilling life in the West, including recipes, love stories, defining moments and disasters.

The book goes behind the scenes to get the actors’ and writers’ take on the series - with interviews, script extracts and episode summaries - plus a trivia quiz and drinking game! It also probes the depths (and shallows) of the characters to reveal everything from Cheryl’s recipes to Pascalle’s philosophy for beautiful living, Ted’s racing tips to the Tool Guy code. 

Over 100 photos.

Review by Abbie on 13th August, 2009
5 stars "Awesome background to the Wests "

A fun look into the lives of the Wests and their associates. Great photos and episode summaries from the first 4 series plus awesome interviews with the main actors. School reports for Jethro, Van, Pascal and Loretta are hilarious to read. For thoes who wish to learn, Grandpa has a gambling guide and Cheryl's world famous (in West Auckland) fish pie recipe is included. A must for every OF fan.

5 stars "Great Guide"

Great accompaniment for the series. Gives some cool background information to the West family and helps you gain more of an insight to the characters, pretty good laugh. Best section is Loretta's repor­t card!
