I absolutely loved 12 Games of Christmas! It completely changed my perspective on Programming. At first I wasn't sure about Holiday Projects, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Holiday Projects is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Beginner Coding. What I appreciated most was how the book made Game Development feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

12 Games of Christmas offers a compelling take on Programming, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Holiday Projects is excellent, I found the sections on Christmas Games less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Holiday Projects more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Beginner Coding will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Game Development, if not the definitive work.
