ⓘ About Rose Estes
If you never played Dungeons and Dragons, this gamebook gives you a taste of it. While such books were popular in the 70s and 80s, they have now been taken over by video games. Any video game player will find this volume exciting and the adventures exhilarating. The book is particularly suited for young readers being introduced to the fantasy world. Since there is only little danger, kids can enjoy the ride as they overcome different challenges and encounter all kinds of creepy elements. The illustrations throughout the book are enjoyable and will keep you rereading to see how they tie with different aspects of the story. Dungeon of Dread is an intriguing book that closely simulates the D &D adventure experience.
