[Christoph Kappel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book and good follow up, after Idiomatic Rust: Code like a Rustacean although you might want to switch the order, depending on your skills so far in the language.

The examples were easy to follow, chapters are entertainingly written and prepares you well for the mean world of the borrow checker.

[Mochammad Hadyan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great follow up book to understand Rust deeply, especially for some advanced topics.

This is really a good book companion for "Learn Rust in a month of lunches" from the same publisher which focus on the specific gotchas in Rust.

Definitely good references despite not really long pages, some of the discussion not really deep, but the author give some good pointers so we can read more further

[George Reilly · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author covers a lot of ground describing various aspects of Rust.

[Julien · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book covers a lot: tooling, data structures, error handling, traits, memory management, testing, async rust, I might have forgotten some other topics.

The author does a great job at explaining each subject and each chapter is full of code examples to keep the reader's attention. Some chapters may require more time to read and understand, but they offer the advantage of being revisited even after an initial reading. Overall, a pleasant reading experience.

It's a good book to get familiar with Rust and understand its core principles, but also learn more advanced topics. If you like (or use) Rust, you'll most probably like this book too.
