Took me a long time to read -:) But of course...learning something like Unity 3D is not an easy task...this book was totally and completely amazing! While I'm for sure pretty far away from being a decent Unity 3D developer...this book had give me all the needed foundations to be able to move forward and start doing my own experiments...this book is A MUST READ! Totally love it and I'm sure that I'm going to find myself going back to it many many times -;)
