This IS a wonderful book to enter the Bionicle World with and it is chock full of useful info, but it's mostly character bios, there is no description of the story, exept for hints of the comeing of the seventh toa... Here's what's in the book:

* "IN the time before time..." is a prolouge to the Bionicle universe. Plus a map of MataNui.

* A Matoran Alphabet Translater.

* Extencive Bios of the Toa(Nuva), Turaga, Rahi, Bohrok(Kal), BohrokVa, and Rahkshi.

* Detailed info on "Kanohi Masks of Power", "Protodermis", "KanohiNuva Masks of Power", "The Toa of Light", "Noble Masks of Power", "Matoran", "Ta/Onu/Ga/Le/Ko/Po - Koro", "Makuta", "Krana", "Cahdok and Gahdok", "BohrokKal Tools", "KranaKal", and "Kraata".

* SweepStakes Question with hints written in the Matoran Font.

* And NOT much more!(laughs)

This is a collection of the first 15 comics in the Bionicle comic series.

If you are a fan, or are new to Bionicle I would highly reccomend this series. This book will tell you the Bionicle story, as written by one of the most knowledgeble Bonicle persons in the world, Greg Farshtey.

The pictures are great in this book. You will also learn the symbols and personalities of each bionicle.

Hi. My name is Nicholas (I feel I should express my first name)and I purchased this book. This is a great guide/picture book of Bionicle. All the pages have full color pictures on them, along with cool Bionicle facts on all the characters up to Mask of Light! I rate it 4 stars because, it is a great book, and it has very cool pictures. Also, you know most of the info if you haven't gotten it until 2004 or something! Great job, Greg Farshtey (writer).

From a true Bionicle fan, Nicholas

I loved this book. 2 thumbs up.

This is the book of the first 15 comics in the bionicle series. From the beginning when the toa were assembled to were they learn they weren't the first Toa. They also have all the information like the Krana-Kal and the Tale Of The Toa (all from the original comics)

You should get this book. Can't wait till volume 2 comes out.

i think its an awsome book for any bionicle fan. it is also helpful if you just whatched the bionicle movie. it includes info on Makuta Cadok and Gadok(borohk queens) info on rahkshi info on the turaga on the toa and thats about the half of it. ...

THIS BOOK ROCKS!!! It tells about the language, each koro, toa, matoran, rahi, ect...

This book is a guide!

From a TRUE Floridian Bionicle Fan d:D

This book has lots of really good information about Bionicles. It tells you all about toa, bohrok, bohrok-kal, rahkshi, and some other important info about bionicles. It tells the power of the great masks the toa use, and tell some of the things about the turaga. It has a decoder, and it has a map of Mata Nui. It also tells about the koros. It has some facts about a selected few of the matoran. It tells a selected few of the things about Takanuva and Makuta even though you should know that already. It has a lot of cool things about the world of bionicle

This is one of the most comprehensive books I have ever seen. My 8 year old has not put it down since he got it! He has studied it and memorized every name. I highly recommend this book if you have a Bionicle fan at home!

This graphic novel collects BIONICLE #1-15. The direct-to-DVD release BIONICLE: Mask of Light is set between issues #14 and #15.

That said, I must say BIONICLE is one of the most unique comic series I have ever seen. The original premise was intriuging, a fantasy epic set on a tropical island inhabited by a race of warriors who honored powerful "Kanohi" masks as sacred and who fought against an evil spirit referred to simply as "the Makuta". The amount of care put into the series was apparent, as LEGO even used real ancient island peoples' terms for their incredibly complex mythology.

After the franchise became a booming success, LEGO decided to give it another year. In the six-part "Bohrok Saga", the Toa- heroes who the islanders, who became known as "Matoran" after Lego got into legal trouble for the original term- fight a species of Alien-meets-Borgs in a series which was entertaining, but no where near as blow-you-away as the original storyline.

That was when the series bombed. TOA NUVA?! BOHROK-KAL?! WTF! If you do decide to purchase this graphic novel, I advise you to rip these pages out and burn them. You won't have to undergo the excruciating pain of reading them.

Fortunately, the ongoing comic series redeemed itself with its conclusive issues, which tie in and out and of the movie, Mask of Light. The final line sets the stage for BIONICLE's recent Metru Nui: City of Legends series, and the BIONICLE 2 film.
