Summary: Excellent sourcebook
Review: This book is filled with ideas for both players and dungeon masters. You will find all of the usually "crunchy" stuff, including prestige classes, feats, and spells. I found some of the spells to be particularly interesting, such as "Draconic Might" castable by, among others, high level Paladins. Perhaps the best part of the book, however, is the monster section. Old favorites such as the Faerie Dragon and Shadow Dragon are given form for 3.5, and new monsters (at least to me) such as the Underdark Landwyrm and the Ysgardian Battle Dragon are added to the DM's arsenal.

It's a really beautiful book, too. Plenty of excellent fantasy art. All in all, I'm very pleased with it.

Summary: REALY convencing DRAGONS !!!
Review: This by far is the most convincing text that I own that anything (in biological terms) exist, and trust me I have many biology oriented text books, to think that a fictional species can be so captured in detail is absolutely frightening, in a good way.

In fact there are only three reasons why I am most confident that Dragons of any kind do not exist.

(1) The texts insistence that dragons can some how digest inorganic chemicals, impossible, even though many instances in nature there are organisms that perform feats SIMULAR to this, however inorganic chemicals cannot be broken down AND used for energy by any means other than a inefficient nuclear reaction.

(2) References to "elemental" powers which admititly COULD be accomplished but not with any current scientific methods that I can reference, mostily because no one has tried it before.

(3) If dragons did exist we would all be dead not because of animosity or war but through sheer competition for foodstuffs which dragons would be superb at allocating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this was meant for dragon lovers
Review: This is by far one of my favorite d&d books ever. When i first saw it, I had to buy it. The book had facinating illustrations of all sorts of dragons, it almost confinced me to believe that they where real. The descriptions of all the types of dragons where very interesting too.

I honesly have never played a real game of d&d but it seems really interesting through most of the books. this book is way better than all of the monster manuals. Wizards of the Coast really pulled through this time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best
Review: This is the first D&D supplement that I have found so far that gives me a complete understanding of how dragons fit in in the rest of the D&D world. It's very readable and user-friendly, but not so simple that it doesn't go into detail. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Insulting........
Review: You know, I might have given this book an excellent review, but just one thing about it filled me with so much disgust that I just couldn't give it a good review. For anybody who is even remotely familiar with 2nd Edition, the idea of making Io merely an Intermediate deity is flat out insulting. I'm not going to explain why in this review. People who don't understand what I'm talking about should go back and look at 2nd Edition information on Io, and then you'll understand.
Since they first got their slimey do-anything-to-make-a-quick-buck hands of D@D, WOTC has seemed intent on trashing just about everything the players have come to love about the game (their attempts to "simplify" the Forgotten Realms setting by removing most of the Monsterous Deities being a good example). Hopefully, fans will somehow take a stand against this. We don't deserve to have the things we enjoy dumped all over like this.
