review 1: This has been my first introduction to jQuery although I had some experience before. So this book gave me a pretty good overview on jQuery's capabilities. There's no way I can remember all the details given by the author just by one read, so I'm going to use it as a reference guide.I was expecting a little more work/detail by the author on the chapter which talks about ajax/json calls. But it lays a foundation for the topic for the reader to build upon.
review 2: A guide to JQuery that does quite a bit of handholding. More experienced individuals will most likely skim it for ideas on what JQuery can do then keep it around for those times when you are could use an example or two on how to do something. The client conversation structure was a bit annoying. For me
... more as someone who isn't a designer the book was "meh". A designer might find the pace much more suitable. I'll keep it around as a reference. less

A decent intro to jQuery and how to execute some popular elements and effects.

Good for novice but I wouldn't say it would get you to ninja level.
