Book Review of The Ultimate Pocket Guide (Avatar: the Last Airbender)

The Ultimate Pocket Guide (Avatar: the Last Airbender)
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


This book has the trademark characteristics exhibited by many of the other series's "guides" or "extras" books. It is not badly written, but it is not particularly well-written. It is some inconsistency between its information and that of the series, but not much. All of the "secrets" it gives are either given blatantly or implied by the show, save one: that Sokka and Katara's mother was a healer and herbalist (that one did somewhat surprise me, seeing that their mother was not a waterbender).

I was also not impressed by the artwork in this guide - all black-and-white clip art that has been used repeatedly in the guides and DVD covers.

My feeling toward this particular book is neutral, compared to my opinion of the others. This one had nothing I loved, but nothing I hated.
