review 1: LOVED it and would definitely recommend it to any Adventure Time fan.This book is PACKED with illustrations from a variety of artists, and fun facts from the Land of Ooo. Most of the info here is what we've already learned from the show, but there's a handful of tidbits that are new. Giving it 4 stars for a few reasons:1) The writing soon became repetitive since there's only so many hilarious insults Hunson Abadeer can continuously throw around.2) The book is interspersed with graffiti/notes from Marceline, Finn, and Jake, and while these are SO fun to read, it would have been even more entertaining if the book had been irreverently plastered with them (which would also counteract the aforementioned repetitiveness).3) Again, a lot of it is info we already knew from the sh... moreow, so to make it even better, I would have increased the amount of new information; though I wouldn't make it the kind of info that is essential to the storyline of the show. Keep it at inconsequential fun facts.Also, the embossed hardcover is super neat.
review 2: The Adventure Time Encyclopedia was a hysterical yet informative read about the fun, creative and always mathmatical land of Ooo.Written from the perspective of Marceline the Vampire Queen's father,Abadeer Hunson (aka The Lord of Evil), this book contains information about most of the inhabitants of Ooo. Most of the descriptions are negative, since Abadeer has a complete loathing for all things cute and sweet. He does include some positive notations, which are usually based around something "evil" about the being (ie, Finn likes to kick butt, LSP is so gross that it is almost endearing). The descriptions are funny though and informative.The encyclopedia also includes a short section on Fionna and Cake and their universe, and an operation manual for BMO.I would recommend this book for any Adventure Time fan, unless they are really small children because they might not appreciate the humor of Abadeer, Lord of Evil. less
