There are cheaper alternatives [Posted on 2005-09-27]
I suppose if you like a lot of pretty graphics this book is for you. Otherwise I recommend you go to gamefaq and just download a walkthrough there. The book is pretty disorganized and suffers from poor editing. You have to bounce all around to find anything. I got the feeling the people at Prima were just craming everything they could find into this book so they could justify the price. You will find help in this book but it is not worth the price.

Decent Guide to a Great Game [Posted on 2006-05-04]
The first time I played through Jade Empire I was impressed with how well written the guide was, at first glance there didn't seem to be anything missing, and although the layout is somewhat confusing it wasn't that hard to figure out. However as I am now working my way through the game for a third time I find that the guide isn't always correct about the exact placement of the various Scrollstands or Spirit/Focus fonts. By no means is this guide the best one ever put out by Prima however the information on techniques, essence gems, and strategies for defeating opponents is well worth the price.
Pros: Overhead maps, enemy strategies,essence gem list, all side quests detailed.
Cons: Somewhat confusing layout, misses a few key item locations

Confusing... [Posted on 2007-04-22]
It's concise, I'll give it that. But it's disorganized and confusing to use. The sidequest section is invaluable if you want to experience everything in the game
