I'm not going to go into much details, but here are the points I liked, and the stuff I thought they could do better.Pros:It has a little bit of everything you might want.Easy to readLaid out clear monster blocksCons:Being the first publication of the monster manual, I thought more common creatures players will run into at lower levels (below 20th) would had been nice. For example, one of the creatures they have in the monster manual was different types of Abominations which are level 20+ monsters from the War of the Primordials. Cool, but not necessarily needed in the first Monster Manual. What would had been nice was an expanded Human, Elf, Eladrin, Dragonborn, Goblinoid, ect sections with more diversity of opponent options up to 20th level. These creatures might not have the flair that the Abominations have, but your more likely to use them in a gaming session with level 1 and 2 players.Although, if you get Monster Manual 2, they flush out the more common monsters including expanding the opponent options for Humans, Elves, ect. So as a DM, you will need both.So in the end, good content, but a different layout would had been nice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A fine addition to any D&D collection *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017* Bought this to add to my DM book collection as it had a few features that the newer 5e books don't have.Even though i've not played 4th Edition or plan on playing it, this is very useful for playing with 5th Edition games. Each monster in this book comes with a tactics section that shows how a creature would react in a given situation, a feature I believe should still be around in the newer books.I will be using an updated 5e version of these tactics in future to improve my game running.As for the quality of the book itself, a very well designed manual. Easily readable and searchable with high quality art for most of the creatures within it. Though it is slightly out dated, for the price, you can't go wrong for a great addition to your D&D collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Core book with good illustrations and information. *by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2013* Not a cheaply made book at all. The pages are thick and glossy and the hard cover is solid. Descriptions are very clear, the format is on the money and easy to follow.-Starting at the very back there is a 2-page "Monsters by Level" section that is really handy for helping you to put leveled encounters together.-Next there is a 4-page glossary section that (quoted): "This section provides definitions and descriptions of monster characteristics that aren't spelled out in their stat blocks." There are thigns like Aberrant [Origin] and a description of what that means.-Before that there are 4 pages of "Racial Traits" if you wanted to use them as player characters. Bugbears, Dopplegangers, Drow, Githyanki, etc. are all found here with their average height and weight, ability score bonuses, etc.Another really important thing about this book is that it lists tactics for most (if not all) monsters. I find this very handy.Highly recommended book, even if you have a DDI account it is handy to have around.-D --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/219721-dungeons-and-dragons-monster-manual-roleplaying-game-core-rules-4th](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/219721-dungeons-and-dragons-monster-manual-roleplaying-game-core-rules-4th) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
