DraconomiconやLibris Mortisが、全編を通じて、ドラゴン一般、アンデッド一般に関して記述しているのに対し、
この本では、アボレスの章、ビホルダーの章、マインドフレイヤーの章…といった具合に、種族ごとに章立てされ、解説されている点が特徴的です。
また、上記三種族に比べるとややボリュームが少ないのが残念ですが、他に、ニオギ、グレル、トカールについての章があります。
それぞれ解剖図や社会、生態、亜種、専用特技などについて触れられており、サンプルシナリオも付属しています。
単発エンカウントでのモンスター強化にも使えるでしょうが、種族間抗争を主軸に据えたキャンペーンなどに導入した時に真価を発揮するでしょう。
プレイヤー向けには、異形との戦闘に役立つ特技や呪文、上級職などが紹介されています。
それに加えて、自身が異形化する特技(Complete ArcaneのDraconic Featに似ていますが、触手が生えてきたりします)が紹介されており、一部の層には珍重されそうです(^_^;

Aberrations on the loose!
2005/5/11
Lords of Madness is the third book in the series which started with Draconomicon, and continued with Libris Mortis (the two previous books are not needed to use this book). The book describes the aberrations, one of the most intriguing, evil and alien type of monster in the D&D multiverse.
The book describes the great races, like mind flayers, beholders and aboleths (each has its own chapter with their ecology, way of life and thinking, special feats, and an example location ready to be thrown into any campaign), as well as some new aberrations (in monster-manual format). The DM has all the info needed to make his aberrations unique. No longer will the players encounter "a beholder" in the dark tunnel, but a beholder that has this and that special feat, this or that subtype, with classes, etc.
Most part of the book is for DMs, but there is also a chapter filled with goodies for players (aberration-hunters). (This also means that most players will not want to buy the book, it is enough to ask the DM to have a look at it before play...)
The book is altogether well written, and contains great ideas to make aberrations more fearful opponents, and also gives the players the opportunity to prepare against the aberration menace.
The lowpoint of the book is the monsters section which contains lot's of monsters previously published in older products, and are just updated to D&D 3.5. This is something anybody can do him/herself. More really new monsters would have been better...

Deep but narrow
2006/1/2
This book gives remarkable and useful information on the few species it covers. If an Illithid- or Beholder-centered campaign might inspire you, or creating an encounter or two with them in mind would flavor your campaign, go for it.
The most disappointing thing about the book is that it does not reproduce information for monsters listed in other books, so to fully use the information it provides would involve having not only the Monster Manual and Expanded Psionics Handbook but also the Fiend Folio as well as setting-specific books. Unless you have a pretty complete library, you're going to find a number of monsters mentioned and dealt with that you don't have the details and stats for.

Good specialty book

While I didn't enjoy this book as much as Libris Mortis, the content was excellent and several feats/spells/classes are very useable. The alienist PrC is perhaps the most interesting, if a bit labor intensive to play. Each monster detail chapter (beholders, grell, flayers, tsochar, aboleth, and little slaver guys that I always forget their name) has an adventure headlining the monster from that chapter, and are average or better in my opinion...great for side treks or one-offs. The book really does have everything you could want from a hardcover creature 'Type' supplement.
I give it a 4 because I think some of the art should have been better, and there are typos and grammatical errors that should never make it to print (but we're used to that). Often the new material (feats/spells) are only applicable to aberrations, so great for speciaization, but not always helpful in a campaign. Another problem is that the material is very specific yet vague at the same time. E.g. they'll say that aboleths have knowledge dating back to the dawn of existance, but then don't go into it, saying that no aboleth would share this info. Dieties get the same tease, e.g. this god is great and powerful but little is known about him...
