Many More Monsters
Well, what do you expect from the second Monster Manual? A ton more monsters!
This book contains some really interesting opponents for your group of heroes to struggle against and they've really perfected the formula now, with many two-page spreads details creatures of different roles from the same type or race, which allows you to build interesting encounters that feel right, where as previously, you'd have to do some stretching of the imagination to build rounded encounters against different enemy roles, now, its all there on the page for you!

A plethora of new opponents
I would recommend Monster Manual 2 (4th edition) to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of D&D monsters, or a DM who wants to surprise the players, as many of the monsters in this book have never been mentioned previously.

It also clears up a few ambiguous rules and terms given in the Monster Manual 1.

I think that this book is overall an extremely useful tool in any Dungeon Master's repertoir, but any player would gain benefit from it and enjoy it.

Note: My mother bought this book for me, so I have to use her account to review it...

A good companion to the first volume
This book is a great compaion to the first volume. It fills a lot of gaps that were apparent.It is however smaller. There are a lot of quality monsters but it lacks quantity. I hoped that there would have been a little more. Elementals are present which is good. The mettalic dragons are also here. There is an obvious slant towards cold based Monsters in the book too.
I would recommend this book.
