5.0 out of 5 stars this was what growing up was all about, 16 Sep 2005
By A Customer
It's fitting that these have been re-released, as I suspect that today's youngsters (and not so young!) having been fed on a diet of Harry Potter, will absolutely adore these.
Many a long day was used up devouring these as a child in the 80s, armed only with a pencil, paper and a couple of dice. As other readers have already mentioned, not only are they completely immersive and interactive - they are very well written too.
One minor, pedantic quibble - it's not strictly the first 8 books of the series in this book set. I remember Starship Traveller and Island of the Lizard King at 4 & 8 respectively, but so what? You're still getting a fantastic deal for your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia rules..., 15 Jun 2005
I remember these being published in the 1980s. As a 10 year old, I loved the books as they gave me an alternative to the twee rubbish that our teachers tried to get us reading. To play properly, you need a pencil and a pair of dice. They have aged marvellously - like a fine wine. I gave a few of these to a 10 year old who is a reluctant reader. He cheats in battles by simply winning them all and loves them. Even cheating, success isn't guaranteed. I love these and would recommend them to anybody who really wants to interact with their reading. Additionally, from a technical perspective, the quality of writing is fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Classics return!, 15 Nov 2003
I used to have loads of these books when I was a kid (and I still do) and it's great to see that they have been re-released. If your like D&D but can't be bothed to get together with group of people to play then these books are for you! And what great value for money! books 1-8 in a box set for less than £25!!!! You would have to be mad not to get this set!
