3.0

I've spent more time than I should deciding exactly which rating I was going to give this. I couldn't put a 3.5 so I had to go with a 3. Here are the reasons.

Pros:

Has a great new book cover, it's not paper and definitely not leather, but a faux leather typed cover. It gives you an idea that something good should be inside.

A lot of thought was given to the things that would be included in the book itself.

Cons:

Once you take off the dust cover (if you could call it that) you can't tell what it is. I'm sure that there's a reason they did it, maybe to hold the air of mystery.

(same as above) There's a lot of thought given to the things that would be included in the book. Even though they thought through the things in the book you can't read them, you can't get an exacting feel for the things that are in there. So there are newspaper articles and photos and sticky notes. When they are all laid on top of each other in layers, 2D, you can't get a real feel for what is there. It would have been nice to have a little bit of information written up on each of the characters/events/topics that were in the book.

With those being said, I had to give this a 3-star rating and I hate it because I went into it with such high hopes.
