2.0 out of 5 stars The first half of the book contained a good deal of introductory material regarding how to use Ollydbg ...
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2016
Firstly, the description on the website states that the paperback has 304 pages (as seen in the screenshot uploaded) while the actual paperback book has 277 pages only. That's 27 pages less than that described !

Secondly, I feel that the book is too overpriced for the material in it.
The book was released as a free Pre-Release ebook initially, with the first 125 pages in the book. Now, charging another $25 for an extra 125 pages or so, is not something that I feel worth paying for.

Thirdly, I feel that while the first half of the book (the 125 pages in the pre-release edition) was written well, the second half of the book seemed to be written in a hurry (probably as the deadline for the release was approaching, I do not know).

The first half of the book contained a good deal of introductory material regarding how to use Ollydbg and Cheat Engine, along with a very elementary introduction to patching compiled code.
While all this material is available publicly on the internet, it was rather nice to have it in one place .

If you are going forward with the idea that by reading just this book, you would be able to go ahead and build a serious Game Bot, I am sorry to say that it would be not so !

Many games nowadays are "packed" or encrypted with various protectors, as well as use very advanced Anti-Cheat techniques. A lot more knowledge of those and how to bypass them or thwart them would be necessary before one could build a serious bot.

All in all, I expected a lot more from this author from his final release of the book , but I found that a lot of necessary matter was skipped while there was too much focus on material that could have been skimmed.
