The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia (Encyclopedia): Inhabitants, Lore, Spells, and Ancient Crypt Warnings of the Land of Ooo Circa 19.56 B.G.E. - 501 A.G.E. Kindle & comiXology

I had preordered this book quite a while ago, and to my unequivocal happiness, the Adventure Time Encyclopaedia turned out to be utterly awesome! If you are new to the Adventure Time universe, or if you are a day-one fan, or if you just want some information on a show that enlightens your conversations with your kids, this is the book to do it.You will notice two things the instant you get this book in your hands. 1) The format is a bit smaller than most other "encyclopedias", and 2) The quality is immediately evident the minute you open the cover.Some readers have complained about the size of this book, but I have to say, the 'digest' size of The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia is absolutely perfect for a number of reasons. It is easier to carry along with you wherever you go, it fits into most bags, backpacks, briefcases, etc.. rather easily, and it doesn't take up wasted space on your bookshelf. I have noticed a large number of publishers migrating to this particular size and I am glad that they are.The quality of this book is amazing in that it keeps with the unique art style and character designs of the show, but casts a whole new light on the land of OOO. Everything that we know and love is new again. EVERY piece of art in this book is a masterpiece, even more so if you are an Adventure Time fan, and it really brings the text to life while putting a big grin on the readers face. The layout of the book is perfect. The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia is made out to be "authored" by Marceline's father, Hunson Abadeer, and so right off the bat we are treated to specific warnings telling us not to continue to read for fear of terrible things happening to the 'unworthy readers' and one of the most unique, and reassuring, forwards in any book I've read. The letter-fonts used throughout the book could not be more appropriate, including those used by Finn, Jake, and Marceline as they scribble notes through the many chapters, and the pages are beautifully printed on a thick, matte stock. As mentioned earlier, the artwork is astounding and the colors are vivid when needed, and dreary in all the right places. Even the front and back cover are a testament to the quality of this product. Offering a hardbound well printed cover, mixing both glossy and flat artwork with a cool, old-school print in the background.Hardcore fans will find something new in this book, and new fans will be delighted to learn all that this book has to offer. From the awesome two-page map of the land of OOO printed on the inside cover, to the quirky biographies of all the main-players in Adventure Time, all the way to the final page containing the lyrics of Marceline's "Daddy, Why Did You Eat my Fries" hit song, this book is amazing and fun to read over and over. Let's not get into all the lore, wizard's spells, and great locations strew about the land of OOO...... instead, just pick this book up yourself. You definitely will not regret it, and this book truly is worth the wait and worth every penny spent on it!

Written from the perspective of Hunson Abadeer, a minor character on the show Adventure Time, this book is a fun look at the world of Adventure Time through his eyes. The majority of the work centers around enumerating the major and minor characters of the Adventure Time show universe and giving general information about them as related through the episodes themselves. Further on in the book, there are a few additional chapters such as Ice King's "zine" about "Fiona & Cake", who will be familiar to most audiences of the show, and an Ooo Travel Guide by Princess Bubblegum. As an adult fan of Adventure Time, I was very pleased with the book and found it suitable to give to a friend's 10 year old son, who really enjoyed the book as well (he is a fan of the show). Note that while I have marked this book as "No Sex/Violence" (which is true), overly-sensitive parents might wish to be aware that there is a reference to two of the (non-human) characters running around "naked", and in one illustration, the male character Ice King is dressed up as a Sailor Moon knockoff (albeit very funnily within context). There is also one page that features a "plea" to remove the a character from the page in which he has been trapped. All in all, however, there is nothing particularly genuinely offensive in the book and as long as you stick with 10 and above, the content should be fine for most readers.

Did you know that farm world finn is our true og finn and the fin that went on to fight golb was alternate universe finn. Also lich has an alternate universe he went to also after wishing for all life to cease to exsist. Bmo and him become friends.

Quality

This is a fabulous book--it's well-written, with lovely and abundant illustrations, and features amusing "notes" in the margins from Marceline, Finn, and Jake--and its conceit of "authorship" by Hunson Abadeer, lord of evil and Marceline's fry-thieving dad, is carried out well. There's even a series of tiny drawings by Pendelton Ward himself at the bottom-right corners of the odd-numbered pages that make a flip-book. With all that said, though, I have to wonder how this book could possibly have gone to press without including an entry for Flame Princess!While she didn't seem to rate an entry as a main character in Book I, "Worthless Inhabitants of the Land of Ooo," she was included in the group illustration of secondary characters at the beginning of Book II ("Utterly Insignificant Inhabitants of the Land of Ooo"), so I expected to find her entry there. But no; she wasn't part of Book II's alphabetical roster either, which went right from "Flame King" to "Forest Cyclops." She's not even listed in the brief glossary of the "Most Hated Princesses of Ooo"! (Okay, that last might make some sense, since Abadeer might hate her less than most of the other princesses. But then, his daughter was listed under a heading of "Worthless Inhabitants," so who knows?)Some elisions (e.g., no entry for Mannish Man the Minotaur when Key-per rates one) or departures from story detail as presented in the episodes themselves (for example, I'm pretty sure that the departure of Ghost Princess and Clarence was an ascent to the 50th Dead World, not a descent "to the Nether World" as per her entry; also, didn't Science the Rat use Bubblegum's notes to concoct the antidote for the zombie epidemic, rather than "invent" the cure herself?) can be chalked up to Abadeer's confessed distaste for research, and/or to his reliance on his network of spies. The omission of Flame Princess, however, was an unexpected flaw in an otherwise delightful work.

The map on the first page is a bit difficult to see the middle of. Other than that it's perfect

This was a very informative resource. I am new to this show and have dove in head first and enjoying every moment I can get in learning everything there is to know about Adventure Time.Sturdy hardcover book. The book does not have a dust jacket and has full color information on all major characters and many secondary. Enjoyed front to back.

Livro lindo, muitas informações! Excelente produto pra quem é fã da série

Who doesn’t like Adventure Time? No one! It’s a brilliant show with wonderfully realised characters, fantastic animation and brilliantly mad storylines.My son developed a slight addiction to watching the cartoon on television so I purchased this as an extra addition to his addiction. Not only is it well made but it’s full of wonderful imagery and art, fantastic writing and really does look absolutely super. He was over the moon with this and spent hours and hours pouring over the information in here with wide eyes.A great book for Adventure Time fans!

Asi es, de esos libros que seas fan o no vale la pena tener, hora de aventura tiene mas simbolismos de los que creemos a simple vista, humor negro o blanco dependiendo el momento, la enciclopedia trae decenas de datos y dibujos sobre los personajes tantos los principales como los secundarios o los que hacen una sola aparicion, el papel es de gran calidad, de pasta dura, formato grande, luce padrisimo en el librero, ya sea la edad que tengan lo apreciaran mucho .llego muy bien empacado y nuevo totalmente, contentisimos con el precio ademas, gracias amazon y vendedor.

It is almost the price of the cookbook + enchiridion but not even as big as the cookbook, though the content inside is very detailed.
