2.0 out of 5 stars Its insanely inaccurarte. I laughed so hard I cried..., December 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Total Gundam Wing (Paperback)

Any person who knows anything about Gundam Wing should read this book for comedy purposes. It was as if the author of this 'informative' book about the ten Gundam Series (mainly GW) was hit in the head with a 2x4, losing half of the knowledge they had and then making up the rest. The episode guide was wrong 44% of the time, and the character reviews were outrageous. They were biased (but then again, so am I) on their opinions about almost everything. One of the most awful mistakes made was when they confused Sally Po with Lucrezia Noin. How can you mistake Sally with Noin?!?!?!?!?! For one thing, Noin has purple hair and looks like a fruit bat while Sally has dark-blondish hair she twists. Apparently they did not proofread their work before publishing it, several grammatical, spelling and sentence structure errors were made. Sometimes they contradicted themselves, saying they liked a character but then again, the character was extremely annoying and stupid. What???. Also, they sometimes screwed up the history and family relations of different characters, for example: Treize Khushrenada. Family:Dorothy Catalonia (niece), Duke Dermail (brother). Stop me if I'm wrong, wasn't Duke Dermail Dorothy's GRANDFATHER, not her FATHER. Another mistake was when they suggested that Milliardo Peacecraft had been taken in and raised by Treize Khushrenada, who is only 5 years older. Inside were some 3-d goggles and pictures of Wing mecha, and that was something I thought I might enjoy, but not at the price. Go ahead, buy this book if stupid people make you feel superior, but whatever you do, DON'T buy it as a reference to the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars *rolling on the floor laughing like crazy* Informative?, July 31, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Total Gundam Wing (Paperback)

lol, okay, this is funny. This book was so inaccurate most of the time I wanted to cry. I've been to really bad fan sites that had better and more acurate information than this thing. Okay, so I'll admit, not everyone learns everything known about all the characters like I do, but still, I would think you would care if your information was right or not. By calling this the "Unofficial Total Gundam Wing" book they are doing a good thing. I'd also say half the information given is unofficial, I think they made most of it up if ya ask me. I haven't gotten around to seeing all of the other seires yet, so I do use this book very loosley as a refernce for the U.C. series, but as far as Wing goes, buy something else. Sure, the pictures are nice, except that one of Sally that says she's Noin... Though for that price, you could have a Gundam Wing graphic novel, or an action figure. Go with the action figures and graphic novels over this thing. If you want to spend your money on something that would make any true Wing fan laugh, this is a great buy! I would NOT buy this as a refernce though. Sorry to sound rude, but those people who say this book was very imformative, must be new Wing fans, and I fell sorry for them, 'cause they got a LOT of wrong info. You wanna learn about Wing, go find some good fan sites, I guarantee their info is better than this books.

Please dont think for a second that you might want this book! Its information is tottally wrong! Names are [messed] up, family relations dont even make sense,the episode guide was 44% wrong, very biast and inncorrect character reveiws. Dont belive the other reviews on this page saying [stuff] like ''I know every character like someone in my family!'' or the really funny one ''this book was really helpfull.'' If you wanna learn something correct and really cool go to some fan sites .... Then you'll find some helpfull info.
