This book really isn't for anyone who's been a fan of the series for a long time. They discuss basic elements of the series and don't reveal any mysteries or secrets to the longtime fans of gundam. However, i do suggest this book for the newbies of gundam as it gives a very straight to the point appraoch and is extremely easy to read. The only real dissappointment in this book is it's misleading title. It should rather be an introduction to the series rather than a "mysteries and secrets revealed!"

THIS BOOK IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. THERE ARE FEW QUESTIONS FOR EACH GUNDAM SERIE AND THE ANSWERS ARE NOT ALWAYS VERY CLEAR.
THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT FOR DEMANDING GUNDAM FANS.

But this book was poorly formatted for Kindle. Lines would be broken off abruptly, words were missing or misspelled, and the lack of formatting made the book look as professional as an email chain letter. Additionally it is missing quite a lot of punctuation--the author should note that periods are his friend.

As to content: coverage of the UC era is sketchy at best. The description/profiles of the ladies of Gundam Wing were unbalanced and the author was incapable of remaining impartial. Romanization of SEED character names was inconsistent with preexisting official data. The promised "secrets and mysteries" were really common knowledge.

I recommend that you save your money and buy an official data book instead.

This book touches base on four of the main branches of Gundam lore. It discusses Wing, MSG, G, and SEED. It give bits of information about the series as a whole and then answers a few questions on each series. The questions are a bit spoiler-filled at times but they dont give away too many secrets about the shows. The biggest asset that the book has is an indepth glossary and character list. Overall, a handy book to have if you are interested in the shows.
