Summary: An Excellent Sourcebook for any mythology enthusiast
Review: Though not a D&D player, I browsed through a friend's copy of this book and was enthralled. As a mythology enthusiast and a fan of mythical monsters from all over the world, this book captured my imagination. Excellently illustrated by a number of talented artists, the book gives descriptions both in D&D numerical terms and layman's descriptions. Anyone looking for an end-all/be-all of mythological knowledge should be warned, however, that this tome does alter certain aspect of the mythical monsters for purposes of the game, and some of the creatures presented herein are entirely created by TSR. An interesting read and a great source of information. Enjoy!

Summary: THIS BOOK RULEZ
Review: TO put it plainly, the Monstrous Manual is awesome. It contains a lot of nice stuff from all your general base monsters like orcs to all the freaky ones like Tanar'ri. Recommended to anyone who likes AD&D.

Summary: Monterous Manual is essential if you wish to be a master DM.
Review: You cannot call yourself a master DM unless you become familiar with the creatures that might inhabit your realm. Like a green belt must first learn his katas before he dares to advance to black belt, a DM must learn his creatures before he can convincingly portray the monsters the PCs must battle to survive. A master DM needs to dedicate his mind to the story around the PCs and populate his realm with creatures that descend from the hills or rise from the chasms. The Monsterous Manual is THE place to start.
