As a big fan of Eric L. Boyd I immediatly ordered this book. And I must say, I was pleasantly suprised about it. This book really is the best guide to the Underdark (even better than previous works on the Realms Below in my humble opinion). If you are playing in the Forgotten Realms, you have no reason what so ever to miss this book!
Great book!

I just got this book today (2 days earlier than expected) and I sat down and began reading. I'm about done now and just wanted to tell everyone how great the book is. There are parts about every race I have heard of in the Underdark. After it describes the races it tells about the cites they live in, this part is excellant! There are rummors and very interesting facts about all races (I found the Illithads most interesting). On top of all of that there is an eights fold map that makes everything fall together. It is a map of The Realms and on it are many of the many cities of the surface andf the Underdark, it shows where all cities are in relationship to one another. i would have bought the book just for this map. I know it will torment my PCs over and over again. I recomend this book to anyone who likes D & D or even just needs a book to read. The only problem I found was that they (Wizards of the Coast) attached a survey in the book and you had to rip it out to fill it out. It was a post card sized piece of card board. WOTC people, please don't put these in books anymore unless they come out more easily!
