Customer Review #1:
 Very good book!!
This book is great for the beginner. Iovine explains the subject matter in a way that makes it exciting and fun. He has a way of getting the exciting vision of building robots across to the reader. The book makes it easy to get parts needed for the projects from the authors web site. Im really looking forward to his new book, Pic Robotics!!!

Customer Review #2:
Im glad I finally found a decent book on pics!
This was the 3rd book I purchased on pics. The other 2 books - one by Myke Predko (awful), the other by David L. Benson (dissapointing.)I wish this had been the first. Although not geared specificly towards pics, that was my reason for buying it. I was interested in pics and robotics; so this book was right up my alley. Admittedly the book has numerous plugs for a company the guy obviously works for, owns, or gets kickbacks from! And he wants you to put out a considerable about of cash from the get go to purchase items he wants you to use in order to follow along with him. However, that doesnt bother me. I never build any projects I see in these type of books. I only use them for learning - I build my own projects. This book did teach me quite a bit about pics. Which was my goal. He didnt bog you down with the history or innards of pics like other books. Which I am not interested in. The book was a great mixture of hardware and software topics... I would recommend this book to anyone interested in pics... Subsequently I purchased another book by him simply because I saw his name on it and I wasnt dissapointed! Im looking forward to other books by John Iovine in the future...

Customer Review #3:
 Projects can be a bit pricy.
The illustrations and text I found to be very helpful for a project I was working on, but the supplies the book recommends can usually de difficult to find, and can tend to be a bit pricy.
I recommend visiting a local toy store after deciding on a project, and buying toys with the parts you need. Its more fun to make one thing into another anyway.
