"The Ultimate Fan's guide to Avatar" on sale.

[Woodsprite]

Absolutely DO NOT WANT.

Read the reviews. This is not a good buy, from what I've read so far. Pretty much all the people who liked the book were not die-hard fans like us, and had no idea about anything related to Avatar outside the actual film. There are grammar and spelling errors "strewn throughout" according to many (not just Amazon, btw), including a point where he, according to one review, "...calls Jake "Jack" in the same sentence he says that he had 6 months before the bulldozers arrive (it's 3 months - which he gets right later)."

According to at least three of the Amazon reviewers (and there are only 5 reviews so far, 2 of which are the same exact review, so it's really just 4 reviews), the author somehow has the "belief that everything has some sort of sexual connotation." "Beastiality" is mentioned throughout as if it were the norm, and references to things and places that were never referred to as such abound throughout (like the "Well of Souls"...?). 3 of the 4 also care to mention in so many words, "It seems like the author was watching a different movie, or maybe saw a different cut."

Another thing makes me wonder: what's so "ultimate" about this "Ultimate Guide" if it has over 80 pages less than the survival guide?


I'll pass.
