This country is getting to be a bunch of whiney mamas babies!! "content for the adult collector, not for children" really!? Are you freaking serious!? The next generation are going to be a bunch of pansy head cases!! Its Superman for god sakes, I'm surprised they didn't edit out the guns, and make them into walkie-talkies!! This review is for the parents, there is nothing wrong with these cartoons, and if you, or your children are offended by them, you deserve to be offended because you are a freaking WUSS!!! These are great adventure cartoons, don't let PC BS keep you from buying these!!

The guide is very good, but it was supossed to be free and... no, it isn't, I had to buy it.

Besides, the information contained in it was previously released as individual articles on Amazon's Omnivoracious Blog, which I already had on my Kindle thanks to a subscription to that content -which was, true, for free-. It was very annoying to find out that this edition of the complete guide was nothing more than a compilation of what I had already read. Anyway, the content is very good.

If you don't mind spending $0.99 for a good compilation of previously published articles, go for it. The next year I'll be prepared to save those $0.99 (uh, greedy me!)

The book is chocked full of information that is very useful; however, it really feels like sometimes they just copy and pasted sentences from earlier in the book to add after a paragraph (mostly dealing with precautions, etc.).  After about page 50 I was just like, "man, again, this is like the 9th time I've read that exact same sentence."  Outside of that, the book is great and worth purchasing.

Don't get me wrong.  I love 5E, and the content of this book is great.  My low review is due to the construction on the book.  I am part of a 7 player party.  O the 7 of us, all but 3 had large chunks of the pages falling out of the book within the first few months of purchase.  I have many 3/3.5 books that have been used for years.  All of their pages are intact.  I haven't seen any issue with the 5E DMG or MM, but the PHB binding is awful.

Five star book, love the series, but I have to deduct points for content. Quit the political commentary, for example the anti-gun screed by Keira. I don't comment on UK politics, please keep out of mine. For your info, the NRA isn't a lobbying firm, it is 5 million hard-working, law-abiding, tax-paying Americans protecting their Constitutional rights. Oh wait, she was under Communist Chinese mind control when she said that. Never mind. You can go back to worrying about "knife control" in London.

The only reason why I'm not giving this book a five star rating is because the formatting is hard to read on my phone... Other than that it has great content.

Ok. The content of this book is incredible. I mean, really really good. However, this book was so riddled with errors in printing that it took me twice as long to read than it should have because I had to decypher both the lack and excess of punctuation and search for words that don't actually exist because they were so terribly misspelled. Again, the content is great, and I'm not sure if this happens to everyone who buys it, but I also noticed the print date was very very recent so, I'm not sure if they are produced and maybe even edited in batches or what. It's literally so terrible that it is an absolute and total mystery to me. Maybe pay a little more for a better printing. It would be worth it.

They should contact Guinness on this one.  Almost every page has some type of error.  (Mislabeled IP addresses, mistyped configs, etc.)  It's amazing!  Seriously though, the content in the book is good.  However, the number of errors is bad.  If there weren't any errors, I would have given it a 5.

The reward system, is a star sticker for EVERY SINGLE PAGE THAT HAS BEEN FINISHED! Cheapens the "reward system" IMHO. Great content though, just not enough repetition/practicing of each concept.

The content is wonderful. I wish the cards were actually cards...they are flimsy paper about the same weight as writing paper not heavy card stock which is what I expected. This is the only reason I did not give 5 stars.

Great content and pictures, albeit some of it seems a little redundant. Physically its a big book (large and heavy) so makes it a little harder to read unless you are sitting at a desk... for the money spent it would have been nice to get an electronic edition as well to make an evening read in bed a little easier.

Really enjoyed the content in the DVD but I wish they description mentioned it is only a total of about 3.5 minutes of video.  The video it did contain was very good and entertained the neighborhood.  I'm not sure I'll purchase another disc though. $40 is a bit steep for what you get.

I would really want to give this book 5 stars but I just can't. The content is both very informative and entertaining, the binding/size is not something to be taken for granted at this price BUT THE UNITS OH MY GOD THE UNITS! Liquids are given in fl oz, dry ingredients in "regular" oz, there are cups, tsps, tbsps etc. For us Europeans this is a nightmare! Just providing the weights in kg/g in parenthesis next to the US units would make a world of a difference, especially since this is a "modern" cookbook. I could not believe these were the only units used when I got this book.

There is some wonderful content in this comprehensive 4-DVD set; however, there are also a lot of impractical techniques.

Machida offers some higly valuable information on basic, yet often-overlooked, elements of the MMA game: stance, balance, footwork and linear, non-telegraphed striking.  As another reviewer has mentioned, these are the very techniques and attributes that he's used to become a champion.

However, on the first two discs he also offers a whole slew of techniques and combinations that are rarely used in MMA competition.

The 4th disc on the ground game is a VERY elementary primer on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  Anyone with any kind of jiu-jitsu experience will find nothing new.  Although, it must be said that most of the techniques on this disc have at least proven their value in actual MMA competition.

The best disc in the set from front to back is the 3rd disc on intercepting attacks, distance, timing, the clinch game and takedowns.  Here Machida really shows the viewer what has made him a champion, as the entire disc is packed with techniques that are slightly unorthodox, yet simple and practical.

This 4-DVD set would be much improved by being cut down to 2 discs - the price could also comfortably be halved.  Yet if you are a true MMA nut like I am, you will be very satisfied with the many gems of wisdom this set offers, even if you wish you didn't have to pick through quite so much roughage to find them.

I agree with Christian. The content is top notch but the problem/ solution sections are, well problematic. I wonder what the reason was to include jpegs for text? This is serious Kindle FAIL.

Considering getting my money back for an Apress PDF.

This is sad as my copy of the first CSS Design Pattern book fell apart because I used it so much ... and that was a digital PDF, btw ;)

The content of the book is fantastic but the only problem with it is that as you use it the pages start to fall apart which is very frustrating considerating the fact of how much it costs and that it's a book you would frequantly use.

It's content was obviously prepared well however:

1. the type size is too small, especially for the Cyrillic characters that are boldfaced; this suggests that...

2. the book dimensions are too small; although it's obviously intended for portability, still...

3. the authors should've been more helpful with tips and such about the learned ability of reading Cyrillic, and...

3. the explanation of the grammatical terms are insufficient (e.g., how many people know what "instrumental case" means without consulting reference material?), and finally...

4. the index is too brief.

It still gets four stars though simply because of its excellent and comprehensive content.
