Of the three 'Pit' books of monsters published for this system, this one is far and away the best. In addition to really well-written monster entries that still retain the unique feel of Fighting Fantasy, there is a host of additional material that makes this book absolutely invaluable. There is enough detail to use the monsters well in a game, without detracting from the intrinsic simplicity of the Advanced Fighting Fantasy system. For anyone running an AFF game this book is obviously a must-have. But even for people running other games, it can be recommended for some very interesting takes on a few of the classic monsters.
