Summary: Great read
Review: I enjoyed this book more-so as a stand alone book than a supplement to game. The artwork was great. The text was at times hard to read. The information about the First City was interesting enough for a storyteller to consider raunning a game set in the First City.

Review: I have been searching For this fulfilling book since 1998,When I first started reading it,it drew me closer into believing the Truth and how tanted this world can be. the lies and hidden truth this world hides from us and the despair that it only shares... Those who follow this enchanting book can only know the truth and those who dont shall only wish for the truth...

Summary: a wonderfully enigmatic book!
Review: I just wanted to say that this book hit me like a sledgehammer when I first read it. It was anything I have ever dreamt about. I have a "thing" for vampires, and "The book of Nod" is one of the absolutely best books I have read on the subject. I highly recomend it!!

Review: I like Vampire, but I'm no die-hard RPGer. This book can be comfortably read in an hour. Less, if one doesn't stop every few minutes to wonder why so much of the book is taken up with giant pictures which do little to add to the content or mood.Look - it's a graphic novel. The best graphic novels have good content and excellent artwork. This novel has very little content and only good artwork. "Oh, but it has footnotes!" Look, you dork - footnotes?! In the VAMPIRE BIBLE? The footnotes are done INCREDIBLY poorly - you actually have to flip back and forth between the text on page (making up numbers here) 11 and the footnotes on page 23, and then MORE text on page 26, whose footnotes are on page 43... Yes, the footnotes are BETWEEN chapters. Brilliant. The entire mythos presented is extremely thin - no flesh to this body - and the section describing the different clans is the most perfunctory piece of garbage I have read in quite some time - it actually feels like it was added on by an editor who thought there was too little content, but that adding more than a few sentences for each one would have somehow ruined the work. Having read this and the Ericyes Fragments, I heartily recommend the latter - it's an excellent book. The Book of Nod has made it onto the short list of books in this genre I can't stand. Don't read this piece of tripe. Definitely don't buy it. If you feel the pressing need to read it, just go to a bookstore and read it. After all, it's only an hour long.

Summary: A vampire Bible for the World of Darkness
Review: I wrote all of the verse and the "academic commentary" in Book of Nod - not the stuff in the back. I'm not sure if WW has put out a new version of it - I've never heard of the editor that's listed. My name is spelled wrong here: it's actually Sam Chupp.
Let's see - some memories about writing The Book of Nod: I remember checking out a Hebrew Dictionary from the public library and reading what *it* had to say about the Caine/Abel situation, and structuring my re-write of the "Chronicle of Caine" that way. You can tell I was very influenced by the Hebrew midrash about Lilith, as well. I like Lilith as a figure, and t hought that the very male-oriented Vampire 'first myth' needed a female power figure. Who else but Lilith could give Caine (and thus all of the Kindred) his magical power? A lot of people have said they can't read the Malkavian page - the layout was done by Michele Prahler, who is an incredible graphic artist - she didn't really care one way or another whether you could read the text. The text is very silly, as you can imagine - Malkavians themselves being quite insane, Malkav was pretty much off his rocker already when he wrote it.
Anyway, I heartily recommend the Book of Nod - it is one of my works that I really enjoy looking at again and again - I can't take credit for the excellent development that Andrew Greenberg did nor for the wonderful art and layout, but I do take credit for the words of the verse. Anyway - even if you are just into Goth stuff, you'll probably get a kick out of it.
I've even heard somebody started a "Church of Nod", a thought which is enough to occasionally contribute to sleepless nights

Summary: Ohhh BEAUTIFUL
Review: It IS a MUST for any self respecting vampire ST. If you don't own this book and you have been running Vampire for a while you should hurt yourself BADLY. This book is the corner stone for all vampires and vamprie chronicles. Although WW left this as a pile of half truth, half unknown it is one of the coolest books out by WW yet. The story of how Cain got his immortality, powers, and the things that he did. Lilith the mage, mother, and captor of Cain is also an intresting charcter. And for all the vampire history buffs out there, THIS IS THE BOOK!

Summary: Wow- good reading!
Review: Now this is interesting- the artwork, dazzling, the stories, amazing. White Wolf has a habit for sating the needs of the insatiable- they give us, in this black tome, an incredable myriad of info, myth, intrigue. Fascinating and entertaining, this one is a must have- plus, as a bonus, it looks stunning on the bookself. It is mainly concerned with covering the ancestory of the vampire all the way back to Caine, rewriting bibical passages to vampiric effect. If you like books that are very rare in form, content and quality, get this one- it's a tome any student and lover of Darkness couldn't unlive without.
