Obviously not a book to read per se, but as a guide this is fantastic. Superbly illustrated throughout, this is well designed, hugely informative and nicely lays out all you need to know about the characters, the settings, the objectives and the hidden extras. Rather than just mundanely lay out the facts, the writing tries to be creative, adding a little fun and colour. As guides go, this is one of the best I have used.
