Summary: Total Gundam Wing...
Review: All in all a pretty good book. Hey, I got it for free, so I'm not complaning. A few mistakes, like the picture of Sally Po listed as Noin, and some infor was wrong...but it's was mostly correct. It was biased, but hey, everything is. If you are a fan of Gundam Wing, or even Gundam, I would get it. But just don't beleive everything it says, like how it lists Dorthey as being related to Treize, and also Duke Dermail being related to Treize. Some of the Duo info is a little...um...the person just didn't know the character, but it was still pretty good. I would buy it! ^_^

Summary: Its insanely inaccurarte. I laughed so hard I cried...
Review: 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.

Summary: HAHA...
Review: Easily put, this book IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING!!! All the information is wrong, and they even mistaken Noir's picture with Sally! Umm....EXCUSE ME?!?! Isn't there enough different between the two to realize they're two different people? Everything about this book is ENTIRELY made up!!! The people who wrote this book either never watched the anime or just decided to pick an anime off the top of their heads and start lying about it...Other than that, DO NOT, AND I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

Summary: Attention all true gundam fans
Review: I am a big fan of gundam and a really big fan of Kiyuki Tomino also known as Yoshiyuki Tomino. This book is true to all of the Gundam series and movies. This book gives an insight into the complete gundam saga from the one year war to Turn A Gundam. From the Universal Century time line to the alternate universe time lines you will be impressed with the detail poured into the reviews. The book includes information on the model kits on the series and tells the detail and grade of the kits.I would say that any serious gundam fans should definately purchase this book. You will thouroughly appreciate it and enjoy every minute spent reading it.

Summary: I really liked it.
Review: I bought it mostly for the pics, even though Sally Po really is listed as being Noin in 1 pic with a real Noin pic on the next page. They have lots of typos, incorrect spelling of names & relationships. I think Dorothy is a distant cousin of some sort to Treize & if Dermail was Treize's brother well Dermail's parents must have been very fertile geriatrics to have a son old enough to be Dorothy's grandfather & also be the parents of a 20 to 23 year old man [I forget if Treize was 20, 21 or 23 in the series, but even the older characters were usually in their late teens]. I found Wufei's bio to be very incorrect & the other pilots data wasn't always correct either. If you want accurate Gundam Wing info buy something else or surf fan sites, the fan sites are usually obsessively correct if at all possible. It's a very good thing that they labelled this as an Unofficial GW book, because if this was an official book they could probably be repremanded for falsehoods or something. If you don't expect to much get it, otherwise save your money & get something else on GW instead, the GW: Tech Manual isn't too bad although that has a few goofs too, doesn't anyone know how to correctly spell Tsubarov's name for heaven's sake?!?!

Review: I think some of the people reviewing this book are being overly mean.What are you looking for out of a book on Gundam Wing? Me? I was looking for: Bios of character w/photos - Yep. They're there. One photo's wrong but who cares? That's the artists fault. ;) Bios of Gundams w/photos - they are here too History & Info on Gundam. Yep, that's here. There's a very cool Timeline with great information about all the Gundam series. Colin Liu wrote a really cool story about "20 Years of Gundam". It's over 30 pages long, and tells you about all the Gundam Storylines. Gundam Wing Episode Guide - Got it. Modeling?? - CT Chin has a nice piece on Gundam Modeling with images of models. This is like 15 pages. And there's a lot of other stuff in this book too. The 3D is kind of cheesy, but the rest of the book is fun.

Summary: TOTAL Gundam Wing???
Review: If you are going to buy this book for pure reading pleasure and maybe SOME helpful background information, then go for it. There is definitely some helpful info in it, and some awesome pictures, but I wouldn't base anything from the show on it. Also, on the cover it BOLDLY display the words "Card Price Guide" & "Toy and Model Price guide" and there's nothing close to either of those. So altogether it's a decent book, but I wouldn't recommend spending full price on it.

Summary: *rolling on the floor laughing like crazy* Informative?
Review: 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.
