Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Over the course of the last 7 or 8 months I've completed Learn Python the Hard Way, a Coursera Course, maybe another short online course, and this book. I gotta say, this book is my favorite of them all. I feel like it's hard for some authors to understand what a beginner is thinking because what's obvious for a pro is sometimes not so obvious to a beginner. With that being said, the author is great at understanding his audience. Everything is written is straight English. There were many times in Python the Hard Way that i found myself saying, "But....how did you get this?" or "Did i miss some section where this was talked about?" but not with this book. Like i said, I started this book AFTER going through all those other materials so I'm not sure how it would fair with someone who is starting at absolute zero, but my honest opinion is that if i had started here and moved on i would have perhaps been a bit further at this point. To sum up, it's a great buy and well worthy of your time if you're trying to get some basic Python knowledge. Extra kudos for writing examples in both Python 2.7 and 3.
