While Game Collision Detection: A Practical Introduction makes several valuable points about physics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of physics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to collision detection. 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.

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 6 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4'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 the pacing could be better, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
