Summary: An excellent story telling refrence
Comment: This book is perfect if you are looking to give refrences in your vampire the masquerade story lines. Its illustrations help set the story of the book itself, which was set as being written by Becketts mentor. I definantly recomend this for the refrences of not just the player, but the story teller also. The cover for the thing is quite nifty also ;)

Summary: Great read
Comment: 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.

Summary: oh man...
Comment: 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.
