The only point I disagree with was the 'high-school' reading level comment. I don't think 4e isn't an example of high-school reading level. Students are reading literary classics in high school. I'd call 1e AD&D at a high-school reading level. 4e is very easy reading. -It's one thing I really dislike about it.

But, like I said, nice review.
Hi Markkat,

My intention was to state that I thought the book was written towards a younger generation who had never before been exposed to a role-playing game. As the careful explanation of "what is a role playing game" is now old, old hat to me, I found this tone (which pervades through much of the book), to be unnecessary.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
