Got my copy today. TODAY, 24th of December:) It simply could have not been better timing!
It will be a nice addition to my Diablo library.
I have played Diablo since "the beginning" and although I am over 30. right now I am still great fan of this series and can play it all over again. I believe this is the best game EVER created and the story behind is absolutely epic and brilliant. If you are the true fan of the Sanctuary this book is a MUST.
I am looking forward to get my copy of the Diablo 3 game and hope it will be as good as the first Diablo release!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
PS. I have read the book tonight and enjoyed every single minute of nearly 4 hours nonstop reading!
As the true Diablo fan I have found one single flaw in the story though... To my surprise the Dark Wanderer had been given a name and origin (Aidan, son of Leoric). It does not match the original Diablo tale and it also had not been mentioned by the Author of this book (Cain the Elder) in his Journal. According to the storyline in the game the Dark Wanderer was the very player himself (in the game every character had his own ending story). Nevertheless, the story might be regarded as still fine if we recall that the Dark Wanderer of Diablo II was a MALE...
This single inconsequence does not have impact on my rating though - without this book (and of course other Diablo related titles) Diablo series would have remained only a game but after reading the Book of Cain it is MUCH, MUCH MORE...

As with the two above reviewers I was amongst the lucky group who secured the first printing of the book. It is beautifully stylized with intriguing illustrations and Cain's side notes to his niece . As neither of the reviewers above mentioned it, aside from plenty of lore content (which Blizzard have admitted to retconning at some stages, which isn't that much of an issue as, let's face it, we've not had a lot of lore on this franchise to begin with), and hints on what magical artifacts we may happen upon in the 3rd game, the book contains a map of Sanctuarium hidden in a sealed envelope attached to the back cover. All in all a must have for any Diablo fan.

I'm sure most of us who are waiting the release of Diablo III (PC/Mac DVD) will be interested in this book.
The Book of Cain is made with tender loving care. The tone and pacing hits the mark on every page. It informs adventurers about evils in Diablo 3 and builds up huge interest. The illustration of the characters, environment, monsters, Prime and Lessor Evils are stunning and detailed. When reading I feel like I transported to the depths of the burning hells! Everything about this feels true to the spirit of the game.
Blizzard Entertainment correctly licensed this to Insight Editions who did a great job, credit also goes to Flint Dille for the writing. I am now certain that Blizzard cares about creating long term quality products and this is no exception.
Thank you Deckard Cain!
