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

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 physics made everything click for me. I've been struggling with physics 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 physics. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
