Good with errors
Interesting read. Covers the 4 major movies(AvP is wisely left out) and some of the info in novels. There are a few errors in the book that were easily identified on first reading, and not talking about canonical errors. One of the character bios for a prisoner on 161 was a copy of Hudsons bio from Aliens. Couple of other similar errors were noted throughout. Overall not too bad.

Great for Alien Fans Only
You have an interesting mashup of all the movies way up to Covenant and the interactive component is actually good.

Great book, not very good construction.
I love the book, very well done. The reason I did not rate this 5 stars is when I opened the book the first time the inside spine split wide open. Kind of disappointing but I love the book enough to just suck it up and deal with it.

Alien AU
To have the alien au version along side the dino au books is mind boggling because you can bring those creature features to life! The facehugger and chestburster are the best!

Great gift for Alien lovers!
Got this for my son who is an alien freak like me. Even though he had gotten more expensive gifts this one turned out to be the highlight!

Not a perfect organism...
This book covers all six of the mainline Alien films with interesting information that is presented well, written from an 'in universe' perspective, as if the reader is a Colonial Marine in training.The graphic design is excellent but is let down by issues with the written material - whoever proofread it should be fired. There are also some pretty glaring basic factual errors, such as the year that 'Aliens' is set in. The fact that it gets basic facts wrong is the reason I took a star off - there's really no excuse for that.The augmented reality aspect is fun and interesting, but it is also a bit of a gimmick too. I definitely wouldn't buy this book solely based on that element but it is a nice touch - especially the training missions. The way it is integrated into the book is well done.All this said, this book strikes me as one that could very well end up being a novelty that sits on a shelf gathering dust after a couple of read-throughs.

Not the perfect organism, but I wouldn't nuke it from orbit
Covers all 6 movies and includes some sly 'anecdotal' references to the AVP films and comics. Great graphic design and photography is somewhat let-down by the poor proof-reading: plenty of mistakes, including sections of copy in the wrong place. However, it's a sumptuous and stylish reference guide.The AR elements are good, fun extras, though I wouldn't buy it solely on the grounds of those. But if you're an Alien fan and want to read an entertaining 'in-universe' version of an USMC training guide, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Book good. AR app bad.
Book is excellent beautiful and detailed.The AR App, a key part of the appeal of this book over others, is not available in the U.K. for some reason?? On either my iPhone or Kindle. Very disappointed.
