It made me very sad to read this book because of the passing of one of my heroes growing up, but it was a great and wonderful book. Reading about the man who made Spock was very wonderful and just so sad :(

I love reading memoirs about my favorite actors and actresses. Finding out all of these little tidbits that you never knew about them.

The ongoing dialog between Spock and Leonard throughout the book is classic. He would have these conversations between him and Spock. They were quite comical and I enjoyed them immensely.

Leonard Nimoy was a man of many talents. He not only starred in a lot of films and plays, he was a great director.

I think anyone that loves the Star Trek franchise, especially Spock, will love this book. I highly recommend!

Lived Long and Prospered!!!!!

RIP ~ Leonard Nimoy

MY REVIEWS:

I laughed and cried and oh man, it was a fast, fun read because I wanted to know every little thing. I am sad that the book ended and sad that he cannot continue with another book (but his son is continuing his legacy with a movie). This book is for every fan of Star Trek, every writer or creative person to see what goes on behind the scenes in creating a project, and anyone wanting to know the trials and "tribble" -ations of one man’s rather humble life. What a creative genius in his own right with is photography and poetry and such. A definite must read.

I have purchased this book and found it very interesting by what it said and by what was not said. I enjoyed Spock and found a copy of "I am not Spock" at the library to read. This book borrows a lot from the first, from anecdotes to ideas expressed.
Since I had no idea of Leonard’s other works I have now watched some of the movies he has been in and read some of his poems. I will miss Spock and Leonard. Rest in Peace.

I understand that many people might make the argument that they don’t need a guide book, but I disagree with that thought most of the time. Guide books are especially helpful for RPGs, but more importantly they help you get everything out of the game, and this Final Fantasy Type 0 guide is no different. Not only does this limited edition hardcover looks glossy and very collectible, but it’s also filled with very useful tips and information that will help you throughout the game. Another bonus is that this guide comes with a special lithograph that I wasn’t expecting.
What’s inside the book:
Class Zero: Offers stats, growth by level, abilities, and effects.
Walkthrough: Quest maps could be a little more detail, but they’re not that bad. Other than that you can expect to find other useful information like S-Rank Requirements, boss tips, and strategy tips.
Weapons and Accessories: Offers a list of weapons, accessories, items, and their locations.
Side Quests: If you’re interested in doing some side quests then you might find this information helpful. In this section the book list’s the side quest’s location, who offers it, the task, the reward, and a little note about the quest.
Chocobo Breeding
Phantoma
Eidolons
Bestiary: Shows you complete details on each enemy you will face, including stats, resistances, and much more.
Bonus E-Guide is also included, which is always a nice addition.

Prima has always made BEAUTIFUL guides, specially with Final Fantasy franchise.
I read the guide and checked all lists and character information and it is VERY good.
Maps are NICE, and instructions on how to find all collectibles too.
I always buy game guides for assistance or guidance on finding all secrets and checking maps and bestiary information.
This guide has EVERYTHING. :)

VERY GOOD GUIDE!
HIGH quality materials.

One of the better hardcover prima game guides out there. It is perfect for this type of mission based game. One weakness though is the lack of a good integration of suggesting when to go to the extra dungeons available throughout the story. They are just tucked at the end in the side quest section, when there are plenty of good times to try to go to them on the first playthrough. Otherwise the guide is fantastic to follow word for word through the game. The included maps and tips for how to do some of the special orders are phenomenal and the tips and tricks for many bosses are vital for success. Lastly the final chapter of the game the guide made it exceptionally easy to be prepared for all the things in that chapter.

I loved how the writers avoided putting major spoilers in the guide so that you couldnt happen upon them by reading it.

Quality wise it has maps (though one or two of them were orientated differently than the game was), no typos or image issues whatsoever. Has lots of charts and tables with a table of contents that is accurate and easy to leaf through. Its also easy to use to mark with using a pencil (which is helpful for a second or third playthrough to get full completion).
