I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains graphics made everything click for me. I've been struggling with ray-tracing for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about graphics - it reminded me so much of my own experience with compute. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing makes several valuable points about compute, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of graphics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to compute. That said, the sections on compute are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in graphics, this could be a truly outstanding work.
