This was a great take away from the story of the original series. It's interesting to see how Tomino originally envisioned Gundam.Great action! I had a little bit of a hard time following the book at first, that's my own fault though, I never followed any of the original anime. Still a great trillogy. I have a habit of passing on books I like, and this one will be for my brother. =)
Its a shame that a story about war and what it brings in misfortune was turned into a kids show. Alot of Japanese authors from post WW2 era has expressed that nobody wins in war, more specifically, normal citizens get hit the most while the higher ups are playing a game of human chess. The author, however, didn't go extremely dark until his masterpiece: "Space Runaway Ideon".
The novel that I have read is the second part of three part of the novel series, Gundam. I do not really remember when I watched Gundam, it was really popular back then when I was a child. It is animation show about wars between robot which is write by the same author who write this novel, Yoshio Tomino. It is a translation novel from Japan which translated by Frederick L. Schodt. The three parts of this novel are Mobile Suit Gundam: Awakening, Escalation and Confrontation and the title that I

A wonderful mature take on the oringal series, worth reading if you've seen the show or you're a big science fiction fan.
The inconsistencies from the TV series quickly fall to the wayside as the story takes a life of it's own. Very valuable as a Gundam fan to garner insight on Tomino's ideas of Newtypes. The story is just as great if not better. The translation did a good job of retaining the style of writing from the Japanese text while lending to readability in English, though still strange in some points that might be off putting to someone not familiar with the style.
