This was the first book I ever read in the fantasy genre, before Tolkien before Robert Jordan and all the others. This single book gave me a lifelong interest in Orcs, Goblins, Magic and Elves and all the rest.

It is of course not just a regular book but a game, with the idea being you have to fight your way though a treacherous forest filled with a whole manner of interesting creatures, on your way finding the broken two parts of a hammer and returning them to a Dwarf town at the other end of the forest.

One of the characters Yaztromo a Gandalf figure is one of those figures you read about as kid and just remember.

The book is hard too, you'll have to draw a map of the forest if you're going to find your way through...

This is a great book, which kept my interest right up to the very end. The Forest of Doom is a wonderful book for anybody interested in fantasy stories. The fact that the book is also a roll playing game made it that much more interesting for me. There are just so many ways the story can go which means I can read it again and again.
