    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2016
    I can't believe the Amazon page says it was published July of 2015, and there is not one single review. I bought this book and received it on November 15th, 2016. First off, I own hundreds of books, most of them technical books for game programming. I have hauled boxes of older books down to the library for donation, just to make room for more current books. I also watch technical videos on YouTube and Udemy, video tutorials of game programming, which is my only programming interest - game programming. Many of the tutorials are by Alan Thorn at 3DMotive and are among my favorites. He is concise, thorough, and explains everything very well. This book is the same. I am retired and disabled and I have more time than most people to do this.

    I know a good book when I see one. The good ones that really stand out for me are printed on thicker paper and are in full color, with pictures to highlight the text. The information has to be out of the ordinary, not information that can be found easily anywhere else. The information also has to be valuable beyond and above average. This book is at least all of this. This book is easily one of the top two books I have ever owned related to game programming. The pictures are fantastic quality! The information is SO valuable and immediately usable in Unity. I was really blown away when I opened this book and saw the colors, but then I started reading the tips and I cannot say enough at how valuable this book is for anyone wanting to know some fast and efficient advice for Unity 5.

    If there were ten stars to rate this book, I would choose eleven. :-)

    3.0 out of 5 stars Quality tips to elevate a beginner, but doesn't come close to mastery.

    As an intermediate user of Unity, I had high hopes for this book to teach me some cheats that could turn me into an expert, or at least give me an 'interview-fakery' level of expertise - the sort of tricks that only a team developer with years of professional experience in Unity would know. Sadly, I was disappointed. In my opinion, most of the 'cheats' themselves are more like 'hints & tips' for novices.

    Examples include Customizing the Editor, Static and Dynamic Arrays, and Overriding ToString, when I had hoped for far more advanced tricks such as Using Shared Assemblies (to improve build times and modularity), Automating Rigging With The Ragdoll Wizard. and Implementing Native Plugins, all of which I came across during my own personal projects.

    The book is well produced, with glossy pages, clear colour images and simple instructions on a wealth of topics, a nice 'coffee-table' book for beginner coders or content creators, but unfortunately it seems my hunt for a book of Unity programming mastery continues.
