I would've liked to see /more/ in the review -- clearly, you've got the chops to be a solid reviewer, I just desired more material after such a big buildup.

Note to self: Don't review four monster books simultaneously, it’ll lead to thinking you’ve said more then you have.

I put my mind in a viewpoint of looking at the monster books as if I was developing one (which I have, but it sucked).

As I'm retooling my monster book, I wanted to see how Wizards handled theirs. The Monster Manual sucked in terms of presentation, too much of a good thing, too little space. The Fiend Folio opened up and played nicely with content. Layout was nice and easy on the eye; some neat ideas came out in the book's development.

I covered the neatest ideas in the briefest of sentences, so for that I'm sorry.

What would you have done differently, and what would you have put emphasis on?
