There is a difference between "objective best" and "subjective best."<br /><br />Loved this book though it tore me apart trying to solve it. The Quimmel Bone and Chaos Warriors loops were particularly frustrating, especially as I really wanted to whack the former into sawdust. But the search to acquire identity (and language), and the "creature's" love of fresh hobbit are nice touches and add a flavour (pun not intended) to this book that not all other FF books have. You really feel like you are THE CREATURE and can cause havoc! (maybe the "Havoc" was the struggle in your mind)<br /><br />Another excellent review.Bosk of Port Karhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382836168231297724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640929554503965005.post-3267298232311578572022-03-22T09:06:50.550+00:002022-03-22T09:06:50.550+00:00It was illustrated with the intention of being Dar...It was illustrated with the intention of being Daramouss, but Steve Jackson liked the image so much that he rewrote some text/descriptions to have it be Marr instead - I used to have the FF poster book (i left it at school as a 15 year old :/) and this bit of trivia was in there, I believe Keefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306087109232142572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640929554503965005.post-40382682886931901022021-10-08T16:43:13.302+01:002021-10-08T16:43:13.302+01:00Jalp vfuth jsobppk, abvt iStf vfoJbcks pnajsebic p...Jalp vfuth jsobppk, abvt iStf vfoJbcks pnajsebic pmplftf abbst brd.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055378759086732998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640929554503965005.post-80025880800126510682020-10-22T19:50:47.558+01:002020-10-22T19:50:47.558+01:00Definitely MarrDefinitely MarrMALthus Direhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847555508305181801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640929554503965005.post-4124365671391937242020-10-18T01:04:33.464+01:002020-10-18T01:04:33.464+01:00I think it's Marr - you see him in his study w...I think it's Marr - you see him in his study when you work out where his portal to the Netherworld is.Dr. Sunilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16288177096294521160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640929554503965005.post-19251030045429644232019-02-26T04:24:27.300+00:002019-02-26T04:24:27.300+00:00Are you sure that's Marr on the original cover...Are you sure that's Marr on the original cover?
