Good layout and breakdown, but not very accurate.
I thought that the book was organized nicely, the fact that there was three levels of information given for each area helped you get the hint you needed without getting too much information and spoiling some of the fun. The first section lists all the areas and important people to talk to, the second gives you hints as to what you should be trying to accomplish in that area, and the last section gives detailed instructions. There are also sections on enemies and equiptment. I thought that they needed to add more detail when giving the most detailed hints though. Lines like "If your speech skill is high enough..." Why not just say that you need a 45 in speech? My main problem though, was simply inaccuracy. About five times a main point is incorrect, such as needing to go to junktown for a SMG or a disarming key being on the Lt. in the Glow. In summation, good design, most of the info you need, but some irritating inaccuracy. By: Travis Blinkenberg

A little too official but it's still a good guide
If you are beginnig to play fallout or are stuck somewere in the game it's the book for you. On the other hand, I bought this book because I had conquered every level in the game and I wanted to see if there was something else that I hadn't come by in Fallout, unfortunatly there wasn't so I was quite dissapointed in that and also they talked about fancy weapons you can have but they don't tell you where they are. I still enjoyed reading about the best game on the computer right now even though it was a little too official and not very oppiniated.
