I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains collision detection made everything click for me. I've been struggling with collision detection for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about physics - it reminded me so much of my own experience with collision detection. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction is a comprehensive exploration of physics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 5's discussion of physics is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

While Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction makes several valuable points about physics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of collision detection seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to physics. That said, the sections on collision detection are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in collision detection, this could be a truly outstanding work.
