   pros: good detail of game play, plenty of maps

   cons: could have more detail of some game play areas & maps

   Maps are too small and lack detail. I got the feeling the writer was too much in bed with the developers and distributors of the game.

   This game is a really great, addictive game for you who want a quick fix of goblins killing each other. I would have given it 5 stars but it took me 2 days to finish it! But I keep replaying it because it’s so addictive. Very good game.

   This book delves into the rich background and history of the primary Horde races – namely orc, tauren and (forest) troll and it accomplishes this feat surprisingly well, while also introducing other playable races like the half-ogre, half-orc and abomination.

   You will also find several horde only prestige classes like the Lightslayer, Plagueshifter and Shadow Ascendant along with new magic items (e.g. kodo helm of devouring & wyvern tamer gloves), tech-devices (e.g. doubleslammer, totem wings) and feats. The book is well worth the purchase if you are a fan of the horde, if you plan to enrichen your WoW rpg experience or if you want more credible foes for your Alliance themed game. Enjoy!

   It is a nice book. It takes me back to the days in 1978 when I learned to play dugeons and dragons using a paper and pencil.

   But I was looking for a book to help me with the online version of World of Warcraft. And this is not the right book for that.

   It does give some of the background information on the storyline. It was just the wrong book for my needs.

   Very well written and essential for fans of the setting. The tabletop opens vistas heretofore inaccessible. Combined with Lands of Mystery, this book is invaluable for running a Kalimdor campaign.

    This is a good book. While it production values are nothing like many other books in the series, it still has a lot of interesting information. Specifically, there are a myriad number of feats that make playing a forsaken character far easier. There are also feats that lend a greater feeling to interacting with spirits. Several of the prestige classes are good. How ever, some seem redundant, like the fact that they have shadow hunters and spirit champions, both of which fulfill a similar theme. The monster classes in the book are a tad over power (ie the ogre mage). All in all I found it useful.

    Not worth the paper it is printed on. Poor print quality, no detailed directions or explanations, and not all classes included. Looks like something a 10 year old would put together.

    I am a long-time player of WoW (since May, 2005) and have 20 toons, both Horde and Alliance on two accounts. I am always looking for a good guide on the internet, whether it is for leveling, gold accumulation, or trading. So, when I saw this guide listed on Amazon, I jumped at the chance to check it out. Unreadable is the best way to sum up my impression of this guide – and I mean that literally. The comparable Alliance leveling guide is much better in format and layout, but it is outdated (see my review of that product)World of Warcraft: Alliance Leveling guide.

    By following this guide, a Horde toon can be efficiently leveled from 1-70. It is assumed that your toon is created as a Blood Elf and starting in Eversong Woods. If you don’t want to create a Blood Elf, there are helpful guides for the Undead and Tauren races up to level 12 on the first page – then move your toon to Ghostlands to continue following the guide. This guide accomplishes its goal, and with dedication, a player can level to 70 within a short period of time. This guide will take you throguh the Outlands to Shadowmoon valley (The game has moved on since this point, but the guide can still be used).

    The format and layout of this guide is terrible. It appears that they have reprinted screenshots from a website, and the font and pitch are so small as to be unreadable. The maps and accompanying text cannot be read. The printed portion of each page only takes up about ½ of the space available. A much better guide is the well-known downloadable internet guide by Jame ([...]). This link is for the newest version. I have used Jame’s guides to level my toons and I like them very much. I have not found any leveling guides for either Horde or Alliance that I like better.

    DON’T BUY THIS GUIDE – YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY THAT YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY.

    I hope you find this review helpful.

    to be honset this looks like it was made by a 7th grader. Sure the cover is nice and the information is good, but the text and pictures look like they were done on an home printer. The size and font of the information is so small i need glasses and a magnifying glass to even read the thing.

    My 9-year-old who has recently gotten very interested in World of Warcraft ordered this book in hopes of obtaining some secrets or tips about how to get his characters to a higher level quicker than usual.
    Instead, this book seems to be an almost incomprehensible series of charts detailing what quests should be taken in what order. However, there is no written explanation of how to accomplish these quests or even how to use the book. Neither my son nor myself (although I must admit I am not very familiar with WOW) were able to make head or tail of any part of this book. As far as we can tell, there are no tips or tricks included.
    Perhaps if you’re an advanced WOW user you might understand this book, but my guess would be if you’re an advanced WOW user, you probably wouldn’t need this book in the first place.
    Save your money.
