Rating:  - PRETTY GOOD
this book covers mnay cool monsters that can be used in any campain. Its monsters are also very creative. But the price if a little to much. It is overall worth it.
Rating: - Another Great Forgotten Realms Reference
The Monster Compendium is a useful reference for extra beasties and baddies to include in any campaign, but it's best suited for use in the Forgotten Realms Setting.
Though it only provides a fraction of the monsters given in the Monster Manual, the Monster Compendium still provides a lot of info and even some extra realms-specific info on location and habits. The monsters are interesting, and the stories behind them are also quite intriguing. And some of the monsters are just downright awesome ... Read More

Rating:  - a good book
For what the price is, there should have been more monsters here. However, the ones that are in this book are very good, especially the Yochlol and the dragons. A great book to get, but see if you can get it used for a slightly lower price.
Rating: - Excellent
This book is excelent for anyone who needs a good monster. It contains things not mentioned in the first MM, such as more templates,such as Cursts, a new undead template which kicks butt. Some monsters are very fun to pit your PC's against, such as Alhoons(a.k.a., Ithilliches, Illithid Liches). It also provides FR connections such as history. However, even though I don't like Forgotten Realms it is an excelletn book worth it's very steep price...
