What a great book. I take it with me everywhere I go. It's oosome. I mean, yeah, it has some mistakes, but it still has more Digimon characters and concepts than any other guide or book. A. Ryan Nerz rocks, and so does this guide!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for the Digimon fan in your life..., July 7, 2000

This review is from: Digimon: The Official Character Guide (Digimon (HarperCollins)) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for my 6 year old daughter. She and her older sister LOVE Digimon and Pokemon. This book provides them with a complete (at least until more are created) reference to all her favorite Digimon characters.

The first section of the book gives a brief "history" of the Digimon world and monsters, and also has a guide to using the book for both types of trading cards. Next comes a large section with one monster per page, with information about pronunciation of the name, levels, numbers, groups, type, size, techniques, abilities, and a description. At the end is a list of FAQS (frequently asked questions), info on the card games, and an alphabetical listing.

All in all this is a good resource for any Digimon fan, although it will probably be out of date within a year or two, as they add more monsters to the roster.
